I ran a 275/40/20 on my 02' sierra and those would just barely clear, if i turned the wheel either way too much it would rub on the plastic fender well they have up front on these trucks, and i have rub over big bumps in the road before with those on it. I originally went with 285/50/20 and they wouldn't fit in the front or the rear, but the rear was because of the offset of the wheel.

I don't mind a little rub on large bumps, as I usually try to avoid rough roads as much as I possibly can. As long as it would run alright down the highway and around town I would be more than happy. TimDave how does your truck do around Junction City? I'm from Manhattan so the road quality is about the same and I can know what to expect.

Good to know. I don't believe so, unless you've spent time over at the Midas east store I used to work at. You've probably seen my old truck around town quite a bit though.
