Hey everyone, just picked up a 2003 Suburban LS and I was wondering what the widest wheel I could run on stock suspension? I want to go with either a 16 or 17 inch wheel with a large tire (something along the lines of say a 295/65/16 or 17). Just throwing that tire size out there as an example. Also, how wide of a tire would I need to run a 285-295-305 sized tire and is it even possible on stock suspension? Sorry for all fo the questions and any information/recommendations/pictures of setups would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Adam

 

good questions.. searching and found this... still no answer...

 

I run 305/50/20 and that seems to be the limit on width on stock suspension. I had some slight rubbing front and rear on the plastic well liner but nothing too serious. Front was a little more depending on what tire make u run (some have higher more square shoulders) and can tend to rub hard on sharp turns unless u do some cutting. I was looking into a 2/4 drop and not sure what that'll mean for tire width...I imagine it'll result in slightly narrower 295 to fit...R/

 

ive got 285/70/17 on my 04 2500. it has the torsion key turn up but thats it and i have stock 08 2500 rims.

 

I'm running 295/70R17 Cooper STT's and they fit great. Little bit of adjustment on your torsion bars and your golden.

 

I had 305 50 20's on my truck. also ran them with the 2-4 drop. They are some wide suckers look cool as hell but add a ton of play to the steering. slightly rubbed with and without the drop but only when cranking the wheels all the way, not enough to bother me though.

 

Mark do you have any pictures of that setup?
