Hey Ya`ll,


I`m going to change out tires on my truck, I currently have Nitto 285/70r/17 with 1 1/2`` leveling kit. I found someone by me selling BF KO2 34/10.5/17s that have 80% tread left on them for 260 for all 4. Deal seems super good so I wanted to know if they`ll fit without rubbing. Thank you all so much I really love having these community, everyone is so cool!

Are you using factory wheels?

You might get away with it if the offset of your wheels isn't too great but you'll need to trim a lot of the fender and the norcal mod on the body side.

I say go for it and let us know!

doubt it.
I had some 32.8" 285/70-17 with a 2" level. It did not rub, but was very close to the liner.
Probably would have rubbed if I drove hard or off roaded.

Felt like I needed 2 more inches for it to look right, so I went back to stock size instead.

I haven’t felt like mine will rub, right now if I drove her hard or took her off roading with the 285/70/17. Here’s a couple pictures for reference

My used Yukon came with stock front suspension and cleared BFG 33" tires fine. I have a 2" leveling kit on it, and they still cleared fine, but rubbed when I added Husky mudflaps.

I have two sets of wheels/tires, and neither are GM factory, and they both seem to work fine, offset-wise.

34" tires miiiiiight fit in there on flat ground, but once you start hitting bumps in the corners, or flexing hard, you'll probably rub without some bodywork persuasion with some shears and a heavy thumb-detector.

Question: Why 34" tires vs. 33"?

Funny your 1.5" level does seem taller than my 2" level.
My front fender is approximately 37" from ground and rear at 38"

Your tires are looking pretty worn so I am guessing there should be nearly .5" of tread all around.
Approximately 1" extra around the circumference from what you have if you go to the 34's..
Check your clearance as you steer the front wheels.
