I am trying to get Mickey thompson tires for my 2008 silverado 1500 4x4. I have a front end leveling kit on it already. What is the biggest tire size i can put on my truck?

The biggest tire you could put on without a lift kit would be 33"or an LT 285-70
and you would need to have your speedo calibrated also
My Silverado is leveled, and they said the biggest tire I can fit is a 265/70. I could probably go bigger if I take the splash guards out. But don't try to fit 12 wides unless you want to scrub.
265/70. I don't scrub but I'm about 5 centimeters away from scrubbing when I turn all the way. Could probably fit taller, but nothing wider than 10.5

I have just recently put 305/50/20 tires on my 2009 chrevolet silverado (no lift / no modifications) and have no issues no rubbing whatsoever.

@ ROLF ... You can't say side wall measurements without having a rim diameter. For instance you said 285/"70" and if you had a 285/70r20LT it would be 38.8"s tall, and 11.3"s wide. WAY TOO TALL for a Silverado with just a leveling kit on it
This my Silverado with rims . 22" Wide 12.50 Any one know if have it any problems in the future about the wireline.
Without lifting my truck for now what size rim and tire I'm thinking of 22' by 14" on 33s

I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado with a moto fab 2” spacer on front and 1” in the back and I have 285/70R17 on it and they fit perfect. Zero rubbing
Have a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE Z71 package I have 265/70/16 what is the biggest tire I can put on stock or maybe a level kit on it Thank you
Sorry if this double posts. But I have 29/35/24 on my 08 4x4 with a 3inch level kit. Plenty of room for more height. I am running 2 inch wheel spacers. Cant remember my backspacing. I bought the wheels for cheap with new tires on them. $150 was a steal to me. But I will be going bigger in the near future. Hangluce what size lift do you have.
