fit 315/70/17 on my 2003 chevy tahoe z71 that has a level kit from rough country. the tires measure out to be 34.61 and my rims are 17x8, 6x135, 5.5 backspace, +25MM offset. Ant help would be awesome. thanks.

I am thinking you are going to rub. My 33" KM2's rubbed until I put a 3" key in up front.

The rims will work good with the tahoe but the tire size might be a little tall for a rough country level kit. I think it would be possible cus the rim keeps the tire under the truck and inside the fender. You could run a 285/75R17 which equals out to a 34". What are your fender heights with the stock tires on it?

01kon im not sure about the fender height but i have stock tires on her now with those rims and it looks so damn small. what if i put some keys up front and cranked them an inch or so would the 34.61's fit, im just trying to get that stuffed look because the tires i have do me no justice.

If you have the rough country level kit then you already have lift keys installed. Check your rear coil springs and locate about a 1" spacer. That is what comes with the kit. From there measure the fenders height, most stock are around 38.5" and lifted keys are around 40.5".

For the stuffed look the 34.61 would do it but the downside to that tire is the 315 width. Most guys rub with a 305 so most def it will with that tire. These rides rub in a few spots. The front rubs at the bottom bumper corners and drivers side front inner fender towards the firewall (washer fluid tank is behind it). The rear rubs at the shock mount area for the inner fender. If you want the stuffed look go with a 34-35 but stay under 305 width. I think it will clear fine in the rear (maybe a small spacer between rim n brake) but the front may need some trimming.

Yup 285/75R17 will work good, the width and rim will keep it under the bumper and at most need minor trimming around the bottom corners. Rear should clear with no problems
