I have a 2002 Z71 Tahoe and would like to run some 33x12.5's...specifically the 325/50 20 Baja ATZ from Mickey Thompson. Could I crank the stock t-bars level and clear these tires? Or would a 1-2" spacer in the rear and some ford keys be needed. I don't have the bucks for a full lift yet but I still want some bigger tires.

Thanks

you should be able to fit the 33x12.50's on there stock. i would reccommend cranking the t bars a lil bit. im not positive on the fitment with the 20inch wheels though.

I got 305/55/20 on my truck and I had to purchase the keys, and do some trimming.

not going to clear full turn of the wheel you will have to do keys and block the rear or something. or cut the sh#t out of the fender. that would be cool too.

yeah even with the tbars maxed i dont think they would clear with out some fender modification. I would have to look up the exact specs on the tire to be 100% sure though.

I have 275/55 R20's on there right now which would be a 32x11 if they made such a beast. I had to trim a little off the front of the inner fender liner but other than that they fit.

Thanks for the help.

I have 305x65 or 75 R16 GY MTR on my 2003 GMC Z71 and they did not rubb without a lift. I just lifted my truck 3" in the front with no ford keys of anything all I did after looking under the truck is bought two new bolt which are m12 1.75x85 which are 1 inch longer then the factory. Cranked my torsion bars up all the way untill the key hitting the top of my cross member bar. That alone gave me 3 inches now I'm just waiting for the 2 in add-a- leaf to get in. I also had to weld a plate under each rubber stoper in the front because with the lift there ended up being 1-1/2 between the stopper and the a-arm which left the ride to bouncey for my likings.

I just put MT MTX Radial 305/70/16's on MT Classic II's with just a few cranks of the TB's.
