Default BFGoodrich Tire Size for factory 20s on 09 Ext. Silverado 4x4 with Leveling Kit

Hey guys,

Just got my 2.5'' Leveling Kit installed on my truck and had it aligned

Its a 2009 Silverado 4x4 Texas Edition with the chrome factory 20s. OEM tire size is 275-55-20. Do you think I could do the BFG T/A KO 305-55-20 or 285-55-20? Or if anyone has a better tire size recommendation, let me know. I was hoping to go the biggest I could. I wouldnt mind having to cut some plastic fender trim if needed.

Thanks in advance.

You could prob get away with the 275/65/20,its just a hair over 34"...
The 305 is about 33.25" or so.

Went to Discount Tire in town - BFGs were not available, only as order. But I scored a badass deal on some Terra Grapplers which were ready to install!

33x12.50s - no rubbing
