Default Will 31" tires rub on my 2500HD?

Looking at a set of 285/60/18 Terra Grapplers and am curious if they would fit without rubbing... Thanks.

you shouldnt have any problems running that size tire. i ran 30" tires on a 3/4 drop 1500.

yes they should be fine, my buddy is runnin 285/75/16s (32.8s) on his stock with the tbars cranked up a lil, the hds have a built in 2" body lift on the frame due to the allison tranny being bigger so that way they could keep the tranny tunnel the same, so they sit bout 2"s higher than a halfton and half tons come stock wit liek 29s, 31s should definitely fit, i cranked my torsion bars up on my half ton and ran 33s

Wow...those tires must have a serious sidewall. They are almost 33" in diameter!

Mine has t-bars cranked up, and 265's have alot of clearance. My cousins is same lift, 285/16's and he had to trim a smidge off front bumper. Sometimes the offset of the wheel can interfere here too, so don't offset to much. Also gets close to mudflap if you have any, gm style flaps fit okay, some heavy rubber ones rub at full lock. I would not worry about any of these issues, as I will have them on mine soon too.
Later.
