Default Can I run a 33.2" tire on my Z71 4x4.

I want to run 285/60/20 on a 20x8 Centerline. It would be 33.2 inches tall. Oh, I am running at stock height.

I ran a 285/75/16 on my 2001 with no problems. What do you think?



Thanks

I wouldn't think so most chevy trucks don't have much clearance stock but maybe if u get enough backspacing u might be able too.

Nevermind I just found a Toyo that will work. Its a 275/60/20 which is 32.99 inches tall. The 285/75/16's I ran before were 32.83 inches tall so it should be all good.

See ya

You should be fine. If anything the torsion bars can be cranked up alittle and if you really have to, you might also have to trim the corners of the air deflector. When we measured my 285/75/16s at my buddies tire shop they came out right at 33" and I didn't have to do anything when we put them on, still have alittle room to spare too.
