What size tires can I fit on 04 Silverado?

[Mandelon]

I wasn't planning on a lift kit, maybe just torquing the front torsion bars to level out the truck....any thoughts on that?
I put on a 9'6" overhead camper so a lift kit would not be wise, and I have a Wrangler for offroading anyway.
The new ride is a 3500 SRW, longbox, crewcab, Dmax/Ally 4x4 with all the goodies.
What can I fit inside those wheel wells without rubbing? I will need E rated tires too......
Assume new wheels and tires.
Thanks.

Senior Mandy, I put 285's on mine and it will rub once in a while. If you go any bigger you will need a lift.
But then again, you have 1000 more than I do so who the f' knows.:D

I had 295/75/16's on my 2500. Nitto's on Welds, and I think they were load E's. Sold them to havasuhangin last week. I had no rubbing after cranking the torsion bars and very minor front fender trimming. You might try PM-ing him to see how they're working out for him and his 2500 burb.

One of the other techs at work is running the 285's with just a little trimming work. He's a happy camper with em.

I am running 285's on mine, no problems. I may be selling the wheels and tires soon. Give me a call if you are interested.

I'm running 285/75R16's on mine. They rub occasionally because I'm on a 16x10" wheel. I have the reindexed torsion keys, but just haven't gotten around to putting them on yet...

I didn't shrink the pic so you can really get a good idea. If it auto sizes it, the pic is in hotboatpics.com

Jordy,
Is your truck a 2500 or 3500? I probably missed it, is it Diesel or Gas?

It's a 2500HD. Last I heard (this post being the first) you couldn't get a 3500 unless you went with the dually. They like to change things up all the time though. It's got the Duramax/Allison combo. :D

You can get a srw 3500 if you go with the 9900 gvwr. If you go to the 11,400 gvwr then you get the dually. 285/75r/16 seems to be the best set-up we have done w/no problems to speak of.

The 3500 SRW's are hard to find, lucky for me I got some help!
I think there was only one in my area so I went and bought it.
That XM radio is some wacky shit.....its like cable tv, Lots of channels but not much on..... :confused:
Thanks Carguy!!!

[BarryMac]

so the srw stands for single rear wheels???
did you buy it in SD or out of town???

Hey c'mon now....it has the 24 hour NASCAR channel on there somewhere!!:D

[Mandelon]

I found that Nascar channel today.....and promptly changed to the comedy channel on 150.....:eek:
I got in Encinitas at the dealer there along the freeway.
