Hello,
New to the forum here. I have been reading in the background for awhile and it seems like a great community.
I ordered a 2024 LT TB 3.0 Duramax in Slate Gray Metallic that should be delivered in the next 1-2 weeks (on the train from Silao). Ordered in January so pretty excited for it to arrive.
Would like to do a couple minor things to it in the short term, one being a diamondback bed cover, and the other being getting larger tires (I feel they undersized them from the factory). Have heard the factory goodyears are also not great and get noisy pretty fast so might just do it right away and sell the take offs while they are worth something. I have seen a lot of treads of tires, particularly, max size on stock etc including some recently. I haven't, however, found definitive answers on the largest tire that can be run with no trimming or modifications (forgive me its out there, I tried to search found close answers but not exact). My truck will have the 18" wheels. Most of the conversations end up talking about 1.5" leveling kits and wheels spacers to accommodate. For now, I'd like to put some Toyo Open Country AT3s on the truck in the max size with guaranteed no rub and trim. And am not interesting in the level or spacers. Could anyone help know what that size is ideally with personal experience to back it up? I am guessing 275/70R18 is a safe size its basically the same diameter and width as trucks that came with the factory 20"s but isn't that much larger (33.2 vs. 32.1). 285/70R18 would be the next step in width and diameter and would probably be my choice if it fits. I have read mixed reviews on anything 295 series because of the width. I am more concerned with getting some diameter to fill the wheel wells than width. Anyways, if anybody can help settle this I'd appreciate it!
Also open to any other accessory ideas.
I will post some pictures once I pick up the new ride.
Thanks!
