just fyi,
I ran a 33" Tire on 16x10 rims with a 3" body lift on my z71 and it rubbed pretty bad in the front. Not sure if you could go over a 285 on a stock height or not.

stock height 03 Z71 with the 16" 265/75-16




You could prolly go with 32" without hitting.

285/75/16 (32.8"-33" tire depending on manufacture) is the biggest I have been told. I run them sometimes on my truck and the front is a lil close when turning but not enough to worry about. Anything bigger and I feel it would hit. Esepcially on a wider rim with the wrong offset.
