2014 2500 Crew with 285-75-18, leveling kit needed?

2014 2500 Crew, am I going to need a leveling kit for 285-75-18 tires? what backspacing rim will I need?

Not sure if you got the answer for this yet. But you should be good. With the 2014 & 2015 2500's we can go up to 35" tires without a lift or leveling kit. 35's are tight though

Thank you for the answer.

I will get some in the spring!

Does anyone other then goodyear make that size?
I have 285/75/17 and hate the way the look, it's a pizza cutter tire
It'd be even worse on an 18

35x12.5x20 are in the plans come spring time

What size are you looking for. And type of tire.

Went with this size tire, no level kit and so far so good. Only thing I haven't tested is a full lock and articulated front axle. I went with a +18 rim.

Do you have any pictures?
+18mm offset is that correct?

thank you for replying

 

[mtu1293]

yeah +18 is correct

 

[prox120]

Very Nice. Looks great! Thank you for sharing

 

[ramforme]

Nice looking wheels! What are they?

XD Battalions 18x9 -- Decided to ditch the 20s and the horrible Firestones lol.

Next rotation I am off will show some other pics. Not sure if it was this thread or another, but the tires could possible rub on the rear of the inner wheel well, if the axle is / was articulated. Or so it appears it could. But for some reason the inner wheel wells stick out a little down in this area, if they were smooth it wouldn't be an issue, or potential issue I should say for now.

what did the set- tires& wheels run you?

 

[mtu1293]

Will double check when I get home tomorrow morning, but it was right around $2600 for tires, rims, tpms, lugs, mount / balance and install on truck.

ya... my wife is not gonna let me spend that.. need to come into some money.. via gamble/lottery/ drug smuggling... lol

Lol, I got lucky. Wife drove the truck a few blocks to work on a snowy day. When she got home, first thing she said was whenever you want buy tires. Stock ones I think are horrible in snow.
