Default 2005 Silverado Z71 Crew Cab 285/65/18

Have a 2005 Silverado Z71 Crew Cab and am looking at replacing wheels and tires. Found some on Craigslist that I like(Not huge fan of chrome). Want to make sure that they will fit. Want to level front end with torsion keys. Can I run them on stock suspension and then do the torsion keys or will I have to level it first.

White truck is guy selling the wheels (Very Nice Truck)
Other truck is mine


Chrome Gear Alloys (715C Recoil). 18x9, 6-lug x 5.5 with Nitto Terra Grappler tires (285/65/18) with center caps.

Also what do you think wheels will look like on my truck.

Thanks in advance for help, Bryan

i think the tires would fit nice with your teuck, the wheels i would rather have some black if i were you, but thats bein to picky. i was in the same situation as you and i cranked up the torsion bars, and got slightly bigger kuhmo mud terrains, which i love. but crankin up the torsion bars was only a good idea for the first year, then i started to pay the price for the damage it does to your front end, mostly steering. so i would suggest that you leave the torsion bars alone. i hate to say it, but if you want lift your going to have to pay. i am currently tryin to find one for myself. but yes tires look nice and they should work with stock suspension

Your going to need a lift with those tires. Itll look so much nicer. U should consider getting smaller rims and a bigger tire. Makes it look badass. But that's just my opinion. Nice wheels though

Ended up going with 18" BBS RW wheels and 275/65/18 Bridgestone Dueler A/T. Also did the torsion keys leveling it 2". Am very happy with the look and can tell no difference in the ride. Attached some picture of completed truck.
