I have a 98 k1500 z71 chevy and I am wanting to run a 305/75 r16 tire. I would like to use a 16x10 rim and could only find in a -25 offset or more. How much of a lift would I need to fit these tires and is there a way to lift it other than just a suspension lift because I don't want to spend $1000 if I don't have too. Thanks for all of the help.

You could turn up the stock torsion keys and run a 3" body lift to fit them. That should do the trick

I thought about that but I don't like how you can see that much of the frame. I can afford a 3 inch lift but I think that I will need a little more room to fit those tires. How hard would it be to make a homemade one inch body lift or does anybody where to find one?

You could buy 1.5" body pucks, or 2" and then make some custom brackets for it. Or find a used suspension lift

Would a 305 fit on a 9 inch wide rim? if so then I could get a wheel with less offset and it would probably solve all of my problems

Should be fine with a 9" wide wheel on that tire with some crank on the torsion keys. You could probably do the 10" wide wheel as well, but it's been a while since I messed with a 98 or older truck

the only reason I asked about a 9 inch wide rim is because I can get it with only a -12 offset. I decided to just do it right and buy the 4 inch rough country suspension lift. Do you know a ten inch wide would fit without trimming with it being a -24 offset? because I would prefer a 10 inch wide rim but I don't want to have to trim anything if that is possible

Should be fine with a 4" lift on te x10

Do you mean an 18x10?

country_09

X10 just means width of the wheel. It can be any size, 20x10, 18x10 16x10 etc. just a 10" wide wheel lol
