Biggest tire on stock boss

I wonder what the overall diameter of those tires are? Could you through a tape measure on them? They look like 33s
275 × 0.7 = 192.5mm radius
192.5 × 2 = 385mm diameter
385 ÷ 25.4 = 15.16" of sidewall
15.16 + 18 = 33.16" overall tire height
 
"Probably" fit with minor mud flap / fender well mods.
 
I’ve got 295/70R18 Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires on my 18-inch Trail Boss wheels. Just a tiny bit of rub on the mud flap occasionally when reversing with steering near full lock. I don’t have any lift or levelling kit, just factory Trail Boss suspension.

Look great but what about fuel mileage how many mile to the gallon now 🤔

same tires on my 2019 5.3/6L80 and I get 20mpg on the freeway if I keep it at 65... drops off pretty quickly when I get up past 70 or am lead footing it around town.

I put these tires on right away after purchasing the truck so I can’t really give you a comparison to the factory tires, but I can get 20mpg on the highway if I don’t speed.
 
285/65/20 KO2s on Black Rhino Ark +12 offset with readylift 1.75 level and UCAs. Loving it! Perfect fit in my opinion with absolutely no rub anywhere
Stance looks awesome, what type of UCA did you use ?
 
This video always had me curious

just happened to notice this post and vid....
this is a really good view of the 2 main rub area on the TB liners. if notice the views looking up at the liners and notice all the room BEHIND the liners, you can easily remove the plastic BOLT IN brackets the GM uses to keep the liners tighter to the tire....REMOVE THOSE BRACKETS, and your liners can now be pushed farther away from the tire, and usually they are other holes that you can use the push pins to hold the liners in their new homes.
 
Yes there has been many treads over this topic over last few years … happy researching 💪🏻
 
I got 285/75 duratracs on with real mudflaps. cut a small corner out of the flaps on the front. I'm confident that if I didn't have real flaps they would have fit with no issues. sorry pics aren't straight on.
Love the roll bar, would love to do that on my TB.
 
Bosses
I bought a 26 TB about a month ago. LOVE it. I just put new wheels on with the stock tires. It SOUNDS like the stock wheel offset on the TB is like +28. I bought the American Outlaw Pistons with a -5 offset. I didn't want to run spacers, just because of the mixed reviews. These pictures don't really show how much of a difference they make, but it's a subtle difference to begin with. The -5 offset technically gave me about 1 3/8" more "poke" than the stock wheels. All good, no rub, no nothing, but with stock tires there really shouldn't be. NOW I'm diving into which tires to go with once I need to replace these stock Duelers. I'd love to go with a 33/12.5 or so. Oh, and mine are 20" diameters. Falkens really seem like an awesome choice, or the Baja Boss. This forum has been really helpful, so thanks, y'all! The first 4 are the new wheels, and the 2nd are the old for comparison

I can tell you test mounted a set of 305/55/20 General Grabber ATXs on my stock wheels, and there was no rubbing (stock TB height). We did however feel like if you were to go with a wheel with any sort of an offset less than the factory 27mm, you would probably rub.

I went with a 33/12.5/20 Kenda Klevar with an 18mm offset wheel, absolutely no rubbing with plenty of space.
20x9 wheel?
