i think he wants me to go higher as well..

Do you have anymore pics of your Z71 with the 305/55/20's? Does it stick out at all at that size or is it flush with the fender? Just curious, I'm thinking about a 275/55/20 with the Terra Grapplers, just don't know if that size will fill up the wheel well at all. Mine will be at stock height.

Looks very nice, I may have hit report pic instead of next pic, stupid iPhone. Would the 1.5 inch spacer in the front help out with a bigger tire or is it best to just stick with stock and run a 285 or 275? Liked your tires!

i put the front leveling kit on w/ 275 65 18's, i'm sure 285's would of fit... when u step up to 305's u start to have rubbing problems... the front leveling kit is a really easy install, but u will need an alignment.

FYI for those Z71s thinking about 285/65/18s on stock Z71 wheels, mine rubbed even with the 2.5" level kit and I had to trim about 2 inches from the front valence. This was readily apparent when offroading and with the wheel stuffed at full flex over larger rocks.

I think I'm just gonna put BF Goodrich AT T/A KO 265/65/18 on it at stock height. Don't wanna put a leveling or lift kit so hopefully this looks nice and fits nice in there. Anyone have any input on the BF Goodrich tires? I was told by a few places that I cant fit the Terra Grapplers on my stock ride.

BFG KO ATs are good tires. Not sure why the shops you visited indicated that the same size Terras would not fit unless they meant the Terras were not available in that size.

IMO the Terras are better than the BFG KO ATs. I have those BFGs on my 2012 Trail Teams FJ. Another option is the Goodyear Duratracs. They have been getting good reviews and they look more aggressive than the ATs and Terras. Just making your choices more difficult :party52:.
