Tire height

[ChevyBoy44]

Hey, i have a 1997 K2500, im curious if anyone know what sized tires it will actually clear at factory ride height or with a ready-lift. I currently have 245/75/R16's on the truck.

What is the specs on your wheels? Also are the torsion bars cranked? Willing to crank? The more info you give us, the better we can help!

A 285/75R16 will clear on a stock rim at stock height with a little crank to sit level.

Id be willing to crank, but more likely to just buy a ready-lift. I'll be buying new rims and tires, i was actually looking for the stance that dirtridinz71 has on his '98. Thanks guys!

Tires will be different heights depending on how wide the wheel is compared to the tire.

Do you think i'll still clear with my Grandpa-style side steps on?

I was originally looking at a set of 265-70/R17's off of a 2008 HD.

I ran 285/75R16s on American Racing Nitros that were 16x8 with 0 offset(4 1/2" backspacing) not crank only place I rubbed was where I bent the bumper, I also ran some worn down 33x12.50 on 15x8 GM rally wheels when i was cranked level and no rub

Should fit just fine
