Will 34`s Fit with my 1 1/2 inch leveling kit?

[Justinthewoods]

Hey Ya`ll,


I`m going to change out tires on my truck, I currently have Nitto 285/70r/17 with 1 1/2`` leveling kit. I found someone by me selling BF KO2 34/10.5/17s that have 80% tread left on them for 260 for all 4. Deal seems super good so I wanted to know if they`ll fit without rubbing. Thank you all so much I really love having these community, everyone is so cool!

Think you will need to check you existing clearances - may need a bit of trimming of the inner liner.

Your speedo will be off for sure

Are you using factory wheels?

You might get away with it if the offset of your wheels isn't too great but you'll need to trim a lot of the fender and the norcal mod on the body side.

I say go for it and let us know!

doubt it.
I had some 32.8" 285/70-17 with a 2" level. It did not rub, but was very close to the liner.
Probably would have rubbed if I drove hard or off roaded.

Felt like I needed 2 more inches for it to look right, so I went back to stock size instead.

I haven’t felt like mine will rub, right now if I drove her hard or took her off roading with the 285/70/17. Here’s a couple pictures for reference

Biggest I ran before a lift was 24x10s and 33/13.50s with no rub with a 2-3” level
I did rub very slightly with 20x12 and 33/12.50s with the 2”

just remember if you ain’t scrubbing you ain’t thuggin! And ain’t nothing a lil trimming or a hammer can’t fit lol

My used Yukon came with stock front suspension and cleared BFG 33" tires fine. I have a 2" leveling kit on it, and they still cleared fine, but rubbed when I added Husky mudflaps.

I have two sets of wheels/tires, and neither are GM factory, and they both seem to work fine, offset-wise.

34" tires miiiiiight fit in there on flat ground, but once you start hitting bumps in the corners, or flexing hard, you'll probably rub without some bodywork persuasion with some shears and a heavy thumb-detector.

Question: Why 34" tires vs. 33"?

Funny your 1.5" level does seem taller than my 2" level.
My front fender is approximately 37" from ground and rear at 38"

Your tires are looking pretty worn so I am guessing there should be nearly .5" of tread all around.
Approximately 1" extra around the circumference from what you have if you go to the 34's..
Check your clearance as you steer the front wheels.

I believe I had a 2” or 3” in the pics. The tires on the big rims were brand new the tires on the black rims were less then 1/4 tread.

Haven’t had an issue yet. This was old pictures it’s lifted now about 8” up front 6” in the back just enough for the water to not puddle on my roof and leave water spots.
In those pics I had the stock 300,000+ mile worn out springs with about 500lbs give or take of tools and audio equipment in the trunk plus our luggage from the trip.

Hey, thank you very much for your response! The reason I’m asking about the 34” is because I found someone next to me selling a set of KO2 34” with 70-80% tread left for 200 bucks. Figured I could save a few bucks on buying these instead of new tires. I did just spend 5k on a transmission rebuild so would be nice to not spend about 1300 on tired right now

@Justinthewoods Buy them, if they don't fit just sell them and make your money back
