Just installed my 2" leveling kit this week on my 06 xlt screw. Planning on purchasing either 275/70/18 or 285/65/18 nitto terra grapplers with 18x9 black fuel hostages. Any thoughts on which tire size would look better? Any ideas on offset? (they're available in 01, 14, and 20) All ideas will be taken into consideration. Thanks in advance.

 

The 275's are a little bit taller which is what I prefer. I really think with a level kit you need at least a 33" tire.

 

That's what I was thinking I was leaning towards the 295/70/18 but I'll be traveling a lot more with school starting so figured I'd go with a little lighter tire for now.

 

I doubt there is much weight difference between the two sizes you posted.

 

You have any thoughts on the offset?

 

I honestly dont know enough to help you with the offset. I'm sure someone that does will chime in soon.

 

Alright thanks for the input man.

 

Do you want similar to stock look where they tuck in under the fenderwells, or do u want them to stick out? The more positive the offset the more they will tuck. The 20s will be most tucked, while the 1s will stick out most of the three listed. Did it by chance list the backspacing as well? 6 or so?
Here's a shot of mine with 2inch level and 285/70/17(same overall as 285/65/18). More shots in my album titled my truck in my profile if interested.

 

No didn't happen to give the backspacing. What offset are yours? Do you think the lower offset would look weird sticking out with a skinnier tire than what a lot of people are running?

 

Mine are 17x8 with +25 offset. 5.43 bs. Similar to stock. Let me see if I can find a thread that may be beneficial. I think they would all look fine, just depends what look u want. This is the thread with the 275/70/18 tires.
