What Size Tires Will Fit A Chevy Trail Boss Without Cutting?

[@cardplayer7130]

Thank you for being the ONLY video that actually answers the root question, and doesn't first add a leveling kit or lift or cutting, or any of the other 100 ways to NOT answer the question. Bravo for giving the straight dope! Much appreciated. I've decided to stay stock to also keep the stock center of gravity. This thing is a beast already. It comes with 32s, and 33s wouldn't be worth it, so 34s or 35s would be the minimum upgrade for me. Stock engineering for the win in this case!

[@RaulGonzalez-fu1yb]

I’m running 35x11.5 Toyo Open Country A/T III’s on stock wheels, with the 2 inch SST lift kit by Ready Lift, and I get zero rubbing. No cutting, no removal of mud flaps. It’s the perfect setup for me.

[@infamousbarz1271]

[@vincentperpetua5384]

I wanna go with the 1.75 ready lift level kit. You think I’ll be able to fit 12.5 wides on there without contacting that upper control arm? I’m going to get an aftermarket set of wheels with 1mm offset

[@ryanpayne6732]

Is the lift, in addition to the factory 2” that comes with the trail boss?

[@avidwaterfowler7522]

If you stick with factory offset you can go to 34” no problem

[@johnnycole1271]

how wide though ?

[@mikeb8497]

im glad i found your comment because im a 1st time buyer looking for information. so factory offset is like +24 right those chevy 20in rims, so can i put a set of atturo trail blades 285/40r24 on a set of 24x10 +24 replica snowflakes on my 2014 Silverado stock and have no rub, that atturo tire is exactly 11.2 inches wide.

I'm running 35x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my Trail Boss with 2" sst lift kit by ready lift - total 4 inches (leveled) and I get very minimal rub only in reverse at full lock. Just removed the mud flaps up front. And I haven't removed the metal bracket underneath wheel well liner yet. Still good clearance and the stance is mean 👌🏼

[@connorstewart7373]

Is that setup on stock wheels?

[@sven_the_giant]

@@connorstewart7373 No, I'm running fuel wheels 18x9 -12offset. If you're running stock wheels you'll have to run 2 inch wheel spacers to get proper clearance.

I have the 2" SST lift kit as well and I have my factory 18s with fury 35s and I font rub at all. Personally I'm not going higher than 18s because I dont see the point but for me I would like to put 37s on there but either go with BDS or the Fabtech 4inch lift.

[@Johnthedagger]

Have a 21 LT Trailboss and just did Bilstein 6112's on front with Bilstein Upper Control Arms and Bilstein dual reservoir 5160's on rear. Got approximately 1.25 inches of lift in the front with 0 on the rears, so it is pretty much level and then put 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers (285/75R 18) with the mud flap delete kit and ¼" spacers. Looks terrific is an understatement and gained around 2" of height from the tires and shock height adjustment (but leveled), the tires are super quiet on the road compared to the crappy OEM Duratrac's, and the ride over heavy washboard dirt roads is perfect with zero of that nasty rear end side to side chatter with those junk Ranchos. Didn't expect the ride on pavement to be so comfortable too but it definitely is and if you want a quality set of 35"s for height and quieter performance, a good level truck, a far better and more capable suspension than stock, and zero rubbing at full throw in 4WD then this right here is your formula and you can still use the Auto mode for drive selection unlike regular level and/or the Readylift SST 2.0 kits. It's not cheap but it's the trick setup and love driving it fast out in the boonies now👍

[@dcving1two3]

Are you running spacers? Im putting a 4" lift on my RST and I was prob gonna put 35x11.50 tires on the stock 20" wheels. But I wouldnt think 35x12.50 would fit

[@weweq-aaroncarstendxn4647]

The key to fitting bigger tires with no lift is sticking with stock wheels. 34s fit on my trail boss before I lifted it with stock wheels. As soon as I went to a wheel with less backspacing I was rubbing. Once I lifted mine with Bilstein 6112s (2 inches over stock TB) I STILL make more contact with 34s than I did with stock wheels.

[@the_anxiousphotographer]

So 295/ 70-18 is what you are running with stock wheels before the lift?

[@weweq-aaroncarstendxn4647]

@@the_anxiousphotographer that is correct, I was running that on stock wheels pre-lift. Now I'm running the same size on aftermarket wheels with Bilstein 6112s that gave me about 2 inches of lift.

[@admorris11]

Correct…this guy gave some terrible info because he’s basing his info on a ridiculous offset wheel. Keep stock wheel and 34.s are easy with no rub

[@daggumduncan1018]

Yeah, I've got 35s with stock wheels with a 2 inches of lift that in guessing came from the factory.

[@chriswagner1335]

Did you ever need to regear on those 34's? How bad was the power loss? (3.42 x 34)/32 puts effective gear about 3.63. Did you ever go up to 3.72 or 4.10 to get a little more power out of the rpms? Been thinking about options. Leveling it tomorrow wdith RL 1.75.

[@crubie74]

The offset of aftermarket wheels has a huge impact on whether a bigger tire will rub. The stock offset is +24, and if you stay in that same range (down to about +18), you can get away with a 295/70R18, which is a hair under 34" (it's approximately 33.7" x 11.2"). But you won't get that aggressive stance because you're keeping the tire inside the wheel wells. But yes, if you want poke, you need to lift the sh*t out of your Chev, and even worse for a GMC. However, going to 7" to fit 35s is a bit overboard - there's plenty of Trail Boss set ups out there that have just 2" over stock (so about 4" if you include the factory 2" lift) that fit 35s, with some trimming.

[@2looney1313]

I’m running BFG KO2’s 285/65R20 that is a 34.5X11.50 on the Stock 20” wheel option on one TrailBoss and 35X12.50R18 on another TrailBoss with zero modifications No cutting or removing anything they do barely rub at full lock not even noticeable unless I’m in reverse and the tire hits the hard upper edge of the mud flap. With the 20” option the tire is a 275/60R20 is 33x11 so your biggest issue is incorrect offset and back space.

[@buckeyejeeper9996]

@@blkbeastz71 all I have over top of the factory trail boss 2” lift is a rough country 1.5” leveling kit up front. There’s better options out there like the ready lift. But I simply chose it for the price and sake of saving some cash. Done a front mud flap bracket delete and that was it. I believe the ready lift raises the front 2” and comes with a spacer for the rear on top of the factory 2” lift. It probably rides better, but it’s whichever you’d prefer. A level in front got me all I needed to clear the 35” Nitto’s.
