Hi All,
First post in here...so far loving this site for info.
I have a 2009 SCrew XLT 2WD w/ stock 255/65/17 wheels/tires.
Looking to upgrade the wheels & tires and possibly a little lift. Looking for some various combinations of wheel & tire sizes (and lift if applicable) that you all have gone to. Also, any pitfalls to look out for as far as combinations.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I'd suggest adding a leveling kit and 32 or 33 inch tires on an 18 inch wheel.
Or better yet, a 6 inch lift and some 35's on 18 or 20 inch wheels.

 

Thanks Wandell.
I'm thinking the leveling kit/32's is going to be my path.
As for the tires...if I stick with the stock rims, anyone know if 265/70/17's will fit OK on them?

Also..and recommendations on leveling kits?

 

AutoSpring, or Hellbent, they are cheap on EBay and plenty of people are using them without problems. I have the 1.5" AS and I'm about dead level running 33.2" BFG's with no issues.

 

Yes, 265/70's would be a perfect fit.

 

The Tire Rack carries a lift from Truxxx that will raise the front 2" and rear 1". Pretty simple mount and easy to install.

I would go with 33's and 18" wheels myself. Think that would give it a good look.

 

Sorry to bump a thread, but is there anything else needed with that lift kit?

 

You will need a front end alignment after it's installation.
