What size wheel.. I assume 17 since those are 5 spokes, if so a 285/70/17 will fit and look good.

07 2wd classic correct?

that means you got a 17x6.5 wheel. like 00Silverado said you CAN run a 285/70 but i think that might be a lil wide, i know when i ran my 285s on my stock wheels they were screamin for a wider wheel lol

they should be 6.5" wide if you are talking about the stock 17s on a 05 silverado

285/70 will work and very close to being too big. look in the door on the tire and wheel sticker and it should say what size wheels you have.

a buddy of mine who works at a local tire shop during the summers told me to look into either the bridgestone dueler 265/65/17 or the firestone destination 265/70/17, he said they would be nice looking , a good size, and no problem fitting..??? any input

stock wheels are 17x7.5 if I am not mistaken. I have run 33x12.50-17 on stock wheels, no rubbing at all. Now on the AR Mojave 17x8, I had tiny bit of rub until I cranked the TB's. I am running 295/70-17's now with no problems.
