i was just wondering what would be the best looking tire size for 2wd with a 2.5 leveling kit.

 

Personally, I think 33's would look best.

 

I have an 2006 2wd with a 2.5 inch leveling kit running 285/70/17 BFG KM2s

When I installed the leveling kit the front was higher than the back by about a 3/4 of an inch and it kinda made the rear tires looked stuffed.

I then added a 4x4 rear block (1.5 inches? not sure anymore) and got a slight rake back. Rear tire wells now look nicely with the KM2s

All trucks are a little different. I know that 315/70/17 are too big (had a used tire shop toss on one for the hell of it) it just looked stuffed in the rear. Didn't try it on the front.

 

do you have any pictures of you truck?

 

Just took these for you. I know... shes dirty... also the parking lot is a little sloped towards the front. I tried to make it look level by adjusting my phone.

Hope that gives you an idea

thanks man. it looks good.

 

where did you get them, and how much? I think I want a set.

 

The tires? Pretty much anyone can get you BFG KM2s in a 285/70/R17. I got them through a small independent tire shop. It was like $240 per tire (mount and balance included). I've seen Costco have them with a $50 rebate too.

The leveling kit i got from AutoSprings ebay store. The 4x4 rear block came from a local guy who lifted his 4x4 and was selling his stock parts on craigslist.

 

thanks.
