Lifted/Leveled 2021 - Postem Up

[LekGMC]

Am I crazy to want to put 295/70/18’s on a 22 suburban RST that’ll have a 1.5” strut spacer? Seeing the guy with stock suspension who runs 285/70/17’s made think lifting 1-1.5 more inches, shouldn’t I be able to clear a 34” tire?

@DWSmoot, seems like you have great experience with tire sizes on different level lifts. Do you think it’s possible with some trimming? Have you had to trim on any of your setups?

Also, I would hope to run a zero offset method wheel with it.

Thanks everyone for any guidance you could give!

I don’t have the experience on 18” wheels, but I am running a 11.7 x34.6” tire on a RV 2” lift with minor trimming. My offset is +24 and my wheels are 22s.You will have more chance of rub with a 0 offset. I believe there are some guys running 0 offset on 20” wheels with 34”tires? Maybe somebody can respond if so…

 

[DWSmoot]

I did. Sorry about that

No worries was just trying to help.

That stance looks fantastic. Does the Z71 trim have an option for those 22s, or are they from a LTZ?

No.

They are replica wheels if i remember correctly.

 

[DWSmoot]

They are replicas of the GM wheel option. Would have to order OEM separate.

I thought I’d post mine up since I’ve asked a million questions on here. See if I could help someone else with questions. I ended up just doing the lower strut spacer (said it was 1.5”) with 18x9 method 316’s and 285/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Zero rubbing but I’m very very close to the liners…I think I pushed the limits and barely got away with it.

Post up your lifted or leveled 2021 with setup details.

I’ll start:

1” front level strut extension nothing in rear.
Wheels: 22”x9” +24 offset
Tires: 285/50r22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

Was an alignment necessary?

Outstanding. Looks great with a subtle beefy look. 70 series tires on 17's or 18's are the sweet spot for off road looking SUV's. When you say close to liners, is it the height or the width that is getting close?

 

[DWSmoot]

Was an alignment necessary?

Yes. Anytime you modify the height.
