I have a 2000 NBS suburban 4x4 that's at stock height with 17x9s and 285/70/17 which I think is a 33" tall tire but not quite as wide. 33x12.5-17 will look good on your truck. Good luck

So if your sitting stock with 33s you thank i can put 35s on with that lift and not rub or are they going to be to big.whats the biggest tire i can go with?

I am running 35's on a 6" RCX lift- and they still scrub. The general consensus is 33's for the lift you are getting- and you may still scrub a little up front. the 12.5 wide is what gets you.

I have 33s on 17s 0 offset with that lift plus a 1.5 body lift. The tires barely stick out of the fenders so a -12 offset should stick out 12 more mm's. It barely rubbed without the body lift, just had to cut a little of the liner out and round the corners of the lower valence.

middelgriff1 you have any pic of your truck you can post if not its cool you thank i can use a 0mm offset on 18"wheels with 33s

Front and Back 17x9 0 offset 33 BFG AT

305x55/R20, -12offset (33.21 inches)

No lift, cranked the torsion bars about 1/2-3/4", and used a sheet medal blade and BFH to trim the rear of the front wheel weels/front of the running boards, and a slight trim to the plastic on the inside of the front bumper.

I did the 2.5" up front and 1.5" spacer in back. Wheels I put on were 17x9 addicts, not sure bout the offset. 33" tire. I know that if you get 12.5" wheels theyre gonna stick out a whole lot, not sure if that's what you're looking for or not. Going from a stock wheel to a 17x9 for me, it stuck the tires out maybe half an inch to an inch from the wheel well. It looks pretty good to me, but imo the 12.5" on my rig would look stupid. All my opinion Oh, and my car actually sits higher in person than the pictures show. And I could not run a larger tire on my setup, the BFG's rub when the steering is all the way locked one direction or another.

What's your overall height to the top of the roof rack, not including the cross bars? Also what's your fender heights?

Looks really good.

Is that a Z71 front bumper?

I'm not real sure, I haven't measured it yet. It is significantly higher, however. Ill measure in the morning. And thanks, Z-56!

Looks like a HD front bumper and custom HD grill. Looks grate though. I like the grill alot.

Both trucks look great. Hoping mine will be up next.

Heleonardman: thanks, looking to see if after the lift and tires that I will still fit in the garage

My height at the fenders is 38 1/2" on both left and right side. The rear is 38 1/4" and to the top of the roof highest point (mid part of the truck) w/o roof rack was ~77".

 

[YukonXL04]

Hey Thanks alot man. I will measure mine and make sure!
I am at 36.25" in the front and 37" in the rear in stock form.
Curious how are your front fenders so low at 33.5"?

Aren't your tires close to that height already?

Thanks alot. Truck looks great.

I measured to the point where the fender meets the bumper up at the very front, my bad, I just woke up. I'll go out and remeasure to the middle of the fender wheel well again

I sit 38 1/2" at the middle point of the wheel well on both sides, from ground to the bottom of the fender.

My truck has been parked underneath the same tree for years, it hasn't seen a garage since '06. And just now lining it up with my garage, I'll at least have to take off the CB antenna, and itll be a tight squeeze for me.

Here's my 04 Z71 with stock factory keys cranked all the way & 2" spacers in back. 285/75/17 (33") Nittos.

My fenders measure 39.5" both front and rear at middle point.

Top of the truck (middle of roof rack bow) is 77 3/4". Fits in my garage, stock radio antenna bumps the door on the way in.

Again, stock suspension...keys are cranked, though not all the way (to avoid bump stop clearance issues) and to maintain level left to right. No spacers in the rear. I don't like the rake the spacers make, nose dive isn't for me...mine sits level rear to front.

Thanks guys if 12.5 is going to be to wide what size tires would be good to run dont want my tires to stick out to far but maybe a little bit
