Hello everyone I just picked up a 2001 suburban 2wd and was just wanting to put a little lift and bigger tires on it to give it a more aggressive look. I have read online but I see different answers so I figured I would make a thread. I just bought a leveling kit with new keys up front to lift it and a 3/4 inch coil spacer in the back. Will 285/75/17 tires fit or should I go with 275/70/18? Thanks for the help!

okay what size rims do you have look on hte tires that are on there and if the last numbers on there are R17 like 285/75R17 <= the last number is your rim size if you got 17 inch rims then you cant use 27570R18 the first number IE the 275 is the tire width 275mm the second is aspect ratio the 75 wich basically means the larger this number the taller the sidwalls and the last number is wheel size 17 means its for a 17 inch rim
im curious to see how yours turns out i have the same vehicle only mine is a 4x4
