Tire size no rubbing leveled 13 suburban (pics attached)

[KevOLTZ]

So I finally installed the suspension. 2013 suburban and removed the electric and air suspension and installed Eibach pro truck leveling suspension with moog hd springs. Got about an inch in the rear and 2 in the front. Do we think 285/70/18 (33.7) will fit without major issues or major trimming? Thanks in advance. Pics are from before and after level

I'm going to SWAG it and say that it should fit, based upon my experience with a 305/50x20 tire and your achieved lift.

"should" fit, I think worse case you might need to pull the splash guard back with some zip ties

That I’m fine with, even if I have to cut out some plastic as long as no major rubbing on suspension parts

Did you ever have any issues with rubbing on the sway bar?

No issues at all, either with the OEM sway bars or my current Hellwig sway bars.

You'll only rub on the suspension if you change the wheel offset but with a decent amount of trimming and maybe the norcal mod you'll be able to fit those

I took some notes from your build and went with the moog springs and she came out nice by the way so props to you good sir. I’m hoping not to do the NorCal mod. I don’t know maybe have to do 285/65 or 275/70 instead

@KevOLTZ I ended up going with 275/60/r20 KO2s, they come out to 33 inch x 10.5 so not super wide

That's the same tire I had on my Yukon with stock suspension, and they fit with no rubbing.

Go ahead and put some 33/12.50s on there she’ll fit em fine if it were me I’d run 35s with stocks
Or better yet look on marketplace and you could probably find some cheap Ltz 20” wheels they look really slick with 33-35s

Never replied to this but with a level run 35s? right now I need to pull the trigger and wanna go 33x12.5 but again worried about rubbing on sway bar and or control arm. Im running 18x9 -18 offset. I wanted 285/70/18 (33.7x11) but can’t seem to find them

If it does just throw a 1/4” or 1/2” spacer on it and should give you the Clarence you need I never rubbed with mine but they were 24x10 snowflakes and 33/12.50s

Your an absolute animal, thank you sir

i just went with Cooper Strongarm 275/65/20 with a front/rear spacer, just removed the splash guard and massaged the fender liner with the end of a hammer and a heat gun, no issues at all!

After all the trimming is done the hard limiter of running larger tires is the body. I used this guide to push it back and gain a ton of clearance. It seems extreme in the beginning but I've done worse to my Tahoe just offroading.
