Biggest tire with a 2 inch Body Lift

[mctwist77]

Hey guys, I'm thinking about doing a 2 inch BL on my Z71. I want to get new wheels as well. I was looking at a 18x9 wheel with -12 offset. The company I am buying from recommends a 265/60R18 tire, but I feel like I can go bigger especially with a 2 inch BL. I'm wondering whats the biggest tire I can go with?

It depends on if you don't mind trimming or not. I have 33x12r17 on my truck with a 2" bodylift.-12 offset wheels. I had to do some trimming to make it work.

How much trimming? Got any pictures?

I have a 2" body lift on my 96 K2500 Suburban. I have 17 x 9 wheels with -6mm offset and I just barely rub with 1/2 worn out 33/12.5-17" tires. Actually I think the fender lip bent a little over time so it rubs less but you would have to trim if the tires were new. I"m guessing 305/65-17 new may be ok with the -6 offset might rub a bit and I'd think 285/75-17 would clear no problem. Remember the -6mm offset gives you about 6mm more clearance over -12mm.
