Yeah, that does look like it may rub... but it looks so good!

Seeing that the 275/65/20 seems to fit without a leveling kit...do you think I could get by with a 295/60/20 all terrain tire (probably nitto TG G2)? I plan to run a 2.5/1" level kit. If the 295 won't work I was planning on a 285/60/20 Toyo OC ATII.

I just had 285/60/20 Duratracs installed a few days ago (pics coming soon, I promise). I'm leveled and haven't experienced any rubbing yet, but is super tight, and I'm sure I'll get a rub with the right combination of an uneven road and a tight turn. If you are comfortable trimming your fender liners than I'd guess you could squeeze in the 295s

I think I'm going to just stick with the 285/60s! Now if my stock tires could wear out so I could throw on the leveling kit and new tires!!

I have a 17 Sierra Denali on a 2.5/1 RCX level and I am running the 33x12.5x22 Nitto Ridge Grappler and I get rub at full lock on the sway bar. I would think it is going to be damn near impossible to run a 295/60/20 on your vehicle and not rub. That is essentially a 34" tire. Now it is over an inch narrower than what I am running so maybe you don't get quite the rub. I am running stock wheels on these tires so I would ignore what the shops are telling you. I know I would.

I would be running stock wheels as well. It's hard to tell without trying the 295s and have no way of test fitting.

Tom squad,
Does your LTZ have the rear airride (autolevel air shock suspension)?
I'm wondering if the rear leveling kit works with it.

Thanks
