i have 285/75/16 goodyear wranglers silent armor on mine. they rub slightly on sharp turns. however, they definately fill the wheel well gap. speedo is off 3mph. try to stick with a load rangeor else your dealer will have to reprogram your tpms to allow the lower tire pressure in the rear tires. load range e=80psi/// load range d=65psi

Level kit and 285/65 R18 BFG A/T KO on Eagle alloy 9x18".
They had to cut and fix a little bit in the front plastic inserts, no big thing.
No rubbing.

Does anyone can recommend real winter tires in that size ?
the BFG A/T is not a real winter tire, I donīt trust him on slippery surface.

speedy58, I just ordered a 09 2500 silverado. I want to upgrade tires and go with a leveling kit. I'm trying to figure out how big and wide of a tire I can go without rubing and I want to go with 20" wheels.Is there a chance you could send me a pic or 2 of your truck after you did the level kit? that would be appreciated as I am trying to make a decision on what to do. Thanks!
