Tire Question

[MD_Bighorn]

I'm looking at buying a set of BFG All Terrain KO2's in 285/65/20 and wanted to know if I'll have any rubbing issues with the stock rim and no lift or level. I'm looking into doing the Bilstein 5100 upfront to level the truck but not sure if I'll be able to do it at the same time as the tires.

If that doesn't work for ya I got some 275/60/20's here in DE Can't blame me for trying...Originally from Charles County BTW...

Yea no doubt it would work! Especially if your getting the Bilstein adjustable leveling kit! I work at discount tire and if your truck is 4x4,no rubbing issues...if not,only on full crank! Once you put your Bilstein on set at 2.1 you will have no issues and you can go up to 295/60/20! I currently have RCSB 4x4 will Bilstein set at 2.1 and I squeezed 35/12.50/17 general grabbers on it..with zero offset! They only rub a little on full crank! But I go though some crazy stuff in some ranches!

What ya selling?

Takeoffs from my 2015 Laramie. 2200 miles on them. I'm just waiting for all my new stuff to get installed. Apparently the offroad shopped is pretty backed up.

With the level you can go 295/65/20 with factory wheel no issue. I have them on daughters truck.

I ended up changing my mind and went 295/55/20 Nitto Trailer Grappler and went rough country 2.5" leveling. Tires came in yesterday and the level kit is on its way. I have an appt on Tuesday to get my tires and 1/4" spacers installed but I don't know if the level kit will be here by then. Can I fit the 295/55/20 on factory wheels without the level kit?

Second question is the wheel spacers are just some general ones from the tire shop, they were like $30 bucks should I be worried? A buddy of mine runs almost the same setup and his spacers where $50 or $60 and he's had no issues which his but he can't remember what brand they are

Hopefully the spacers are hub-centric. From what I've read, that's the biggest concern.

 

[MD_Bighorn]

How would I find that out? Would it be on the package?

Id be interested to know the difference in ride quality and acceleration after going to this size/weight. I originally looked at this combo but was talked out of it by my local tire shop. They said I'd regret it.

My buddy has the same set up in his '12 Laramie and he said it's not much worse than stock ride and only a little bit of road noise but not bad at all. That is what cause me to switch as I was worried about it being too rough and loud for an everyday driver

You work in Tigard, OR? I think I've seen that truck.

 

[MD_Bighorn]

Does anyone know if the Nitto 295/55/20's will fit on the factory rim without the level kit on it? Trying to see if I can put the tires on today or tomorrow before the level kit goes on Thursday...trying to cram all this in while working before taking the truck to the mountains this weekend....talk about bad timing.

So I got everything installed Thursday/Friday and I love how it looks, I'll post up some pictures when I get home. Now my question is how much PSI should I run in 33x12.5x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers? The tire place set them at 47 front and 52 rear which I think is a little high. I did some checking and it seams like the answers are all over the place with some guys running 38 and others running 60 and all numbers in between.
