Largest tire on 2500 Suburban
Well I am going to pick up a 2007 2500 Suburban 4x4 and was wondering if you guys could tell me what the largest tire is that I can fit on it with a leveling kit.
Not sure whether or not I am going to use the stock wheels or go with 18" or 20"
Also who makes a good leveling kit for this truck???
Thanks in advance for any info!!!!

Riddle,
Customarily, one can go a couple sizes greater, without running into too many problems. But understand, that when putting a much Wider Tire on a narrower Rim, causes some handling and other problems.
However, if you get the body up high enough, and get some rims which have the proper width and positive offset, the sky's the limit.

265's are about as big as you should go. With my front leveled, at full crank
i get a slight rubbing. Here's a shot

Riddle,
FWIW, I'm running Michelin AT/2 285/55/20s on my 04. Had to raise the frontend slightly to get them to fit w/no rubbing.
Before switching to the Michelins, it had General Grabber HTS 275/50/20. I switched cause the Generals did not last as long as I'd hoped.
