Very helpful as I ordered 35’s this afternoon before watching this!
Now I know I’m good to go!
Thanks
Dave, you are welcome! Just remember I am using stock rims. Any positive offset will give you problems. Thanks for watching. Stan
Exactly what I was looking for, good job!
Me too!! Could not find the answer anywhere!! Stock Rims game changer. Thanks for watching, Stan
Thank you for this video man, You helped me make a decision on my purchase. I like to go a little bigger in tires without looking like I'm going through a mid life crisis.
Mario, that is awesome I’m glad I could help. Stan
Exactly! Lol, so what did you do and how did it work out, mine is 2021, Z71, LTZ, but it came stock with 20 inch rims. Currently 275/65R20. Like to go up, but not look like what you said.
The guy at my tire shop is convinced 295x65R20 will rub the UCAs with stock 20" rims. I would like to verify this is not the case before purchasing
Really helpful, thank you
Dino, thanks for watching I’m glad it helped. Stan
This is very helpful as always..! Seeing the fit test was so unique and I think you made the same decision I would have. Nice upgrade!
Thanks Jim, I looked everywhere for the answer. We came up with the fit test since the truck was so new. It is so sad these big trucks come with little tires. Problem solved!! So next thing do was to help whoever else needed the answer. Thanks for watching, we have one more help video on Thursday and we take off to Yellowstone. Thanks again Jim!!
Of course you can. The stock Z71 comes with a standard 34.7 on 20's for 2022 year model. I also fit 37's stock, with minor rub.
Unfortunately mine came stock with stock 17 inch rims and 32””
tires. I wish I knew this almost two years ago when I bought the truck. Thank you for your comment! A lot was learned when I first put this video out. Thank you. Stan
Thanks for the video. Im looking for wheels and tires for mine. The Z71 does add height. I don't remember the difference. The stock tires are 275 65R20 (34s) . At least that is one of the tire options from chevy on this truck.
TXPatriot 70, thank you for your comment. Our stock size that came with the truck was 265/70/17. I chose to keep the stock rims. When running 17 inch rims give you a smother ride than the 20 inch rims. The Ford Raptors run 17 inch rims. Just food for thought. Thanks for watching our video, Stan
I just put 35x12.50r18 nitto ridge grappler on 18x9 +18 offset on my stock 2022 at4 2500. Fits with no rubbing. I hunt and go off-road quite a bit and haven't had any rubbing issues.
Danny, that is good to know for our viewers. I could of done the 35s no problem also. I use my truck as a tow vehicle, it changes the gas mileage and it changes the speedometer dramatically. Thanks for watching and thank you for your comment. Stan
@@OverTheHillAdventures I am getting a 2022 AT4 drama in a couple of months, so thanks for the info.Saved me a lot of phone calls etc thanks.Danny did you put those on the stock rims or aftermarket . As far as towing l see a lot of guys have seperate towing tires and nice rims and big tires for every day use. That is road l am taking.
I know for a fact that it wont rub with a 2 inch front leveling kit but stock of course it will.
@@jrsv5605 I am happy to say no rub at all even off road. Thanks for the comment. Stan
You think it would fit without rubbing if the offset was -12?
Great video. I would have went with the 34 to. Great truck. KTKamping Kent and Tami
Kent and Tami, Great to meet you!! 🤗 I think any bigger and I (Rhonda) would have needed a ladder to get in, lol! I’m glad he went with the 34s too! 👏 We are excited about the capability of more travels now with the new truck. Thanks for watching and reaching out! We appreciate hearing from folks like you 👍 Blessings, Rhonda and Stan
35" X12.50's Toyo Open Country ATIII fit right up to my AT4 HD without any modifications whatsoever...
Kelly, that's great!! They look great too! Thank you for your comment, Stan and Rhonda
Appreciate the video, mine is leveled so going to see how the 35s run on it. Thanks!
You won’t have any problems. Remember we are using stock rims with stock offset. Aftermarket rims may give you problems. FYI
My 2020 is almost level and is on 35s, been off road a bunch and no rubbing. That's with stock rims which are 7 or 7.5 inch wide. Had M/Ts on for a while (no highway shake). Switched to BFG K02s and according to GM tech (and BFG site) rims are to narrow for that tire, truck shakes over 55. It's been balanced 3 times including road force balance. Truck has steel WT rims too.
I keep hearing that leveling it makes it drive like a brick.. is that true? I’m getting mine here soon and would like to just level it with 35’s
I’m getting a 2020 2500HD soon. Want to put it on 35’s and level it. Are you saying that will make it shake over 55mph?? 😶
I have a leveling kit on my 2022, I took it to an independent shop for wheel alignment afterwards. Rides a lot better. Had 2 different chevy dealers tell me that vibration was normal on factory 18s and those worthless michelin tires. Will be going to Falken 35s when they are worn out.
Great video guys!! This is good info to know... we will be picking up our new 2022 Silverdado 3500HD Midnight Edition in a week or so. We can't wait! How have you liked yours so far? Any regrets at all? By the way, just found your channel by searching for 2022 Chevy Silverado HD and we subscribed!
Thank you for watching our video. We have no regrets!! It is an amazing tow vehicle. I hope you guys got the Duramax make all the difference in the world. Stan and Rhonda
@@OverTheHillAdventures yes the Duramax for sure! Currently have a 2017 Denali Duramax and have loved it.
I have the exact same truck, 2024. Put on a set of fuel 18 x 9 wheels with +20mm offset, and a set of 35" x 12.5" x 9 falken wildpeak at3 tires. They do rub when the wheel is turned almost all the way, not a huge issue, but just noting that with a wider tires and positive offset they will rub at full turn, and obviously will rub with even less turn when offroad. I will be adding a cognito premium 3" suspension leveling kit with fox PSRR shocks - that should reduce the instance of rubbing - the specs say 'Allows for up to a 35 x 12.5-Inch Tire on a 9-inch Wide Wheel with 5-inch backspacing' but, a +20mm offset is equivalent to just under 6-inch backspacing, so I suspect still just a minimal amount of rub at full turn.
**Update** with the suspension leveling kit noted above, there is no rub.
Hey Kyle, that’s great! No rub when using stock rims. Not as much fun as after market rims.
correct, I agree, was just pointing out to those who may have had the question (as I did, and just decided to take a bit of a chance) about an after market setup - hoping to help them out a bit too.
@@kyledmears copy that! Thank you Kyle.
Should have done the test with 37s and 38s!
The factory 20 inch wheel comes with 34.1 inch tires, so i just turned my keys up 9 turns and put 37s. Removed front valance. The only rub i have is on the front of the fender liner. Easy fix but im too lazy to secure the liner back in place. I dont mind turning my wheel 3/4 of the way
That is great!! 9 turns wow!! How is your ride? You should put that on UA-cam!! Thanks for watching. Stan
when you added the 37's did you keep the stock wheels?
@@kinggzz yes i kept the stock wheels. but ive since done the cognito 3/1 leveling kit and 2 inch wheel spacers. No rubbing. I actually did the wheel spacers before the leveling kit and didnt have any rub with some more plastic trimming
Installed 35x12.5 BF Goodrich KO2's on my stock 2020 2500 Diesel LTZ Z71 wheels and they fit perfect with no rubbing at all.
Robert, thank you for your comment. There are some that say it rubs. Mine doesn’t either. Perfect fit!! Stan
Loved it
Awesome!! Glad you liked it! Stan and Rhonda
Z71 and std are same....only rancho shocks that are different......had both and personally I would take stock AC DELCOS over ranchos.....twin tube are horrible....
Everyone's tires are different so just depends on manufacturer.....those look really good and it does need a bigger tire to fill out wheel well on new models.....would take BFGs over Nittos, and pretty sure they run a lil small as well
Plus diesel sits lower in front over gas version as it weighs like 800# more........depending on GVRW rating
Kirk, thanks for your comment. It is not only the Ranch shocks. The stance of the truck is different. I’ve had both also. It also has skid plates which I did not have with the other truck. Side by side the Z71 sets higher in the front.
Regarding the fit test. It was done with a different tire. I’ve ran different truck tires for almost thirty years. As a cop we always used Goodyears on our trucks for performance. Went through tires like crazy but we can always count on them. Personally, I would go with the Cooper Discoverer they last longer and perform better than any tire on the market. BFG is a great tire they just don’t last. This is the first time I have used the Nito Ridge Grappler. I can tell you the tires are great and super quiet. I will let you know how they perform. You are right all tires are different.
You are correct about the Duramax diesel. The box weighs a heck of a lot more and takes away from the payload. I wanted to go with the gaser for the extra payload but the gas mileage sucks on the big motors!! I’m a little disappointed with gas mileage on the diesel. On a good day I get 13 to 15mpg towing. Empty I get close to 19mpg. I was expecting a lot more. The truck is a beast off the line 445hp Duramax with the 10 speed Allison. I used to have the Dodge Cummins it doesn’t come close. Kirk thanks again for your comment. Hope to hear from you again. Thank you for watching our video!! Stan and Rhonda
Now it needs a set of black rino wheels
Mark, thanks for watching our video!! I really likes the way it looks. To be honest I think the only reason the 35 inch tires fit is because of the stock wheels. I’ll leave the black Rinos for the youngsters. Thanks again, Stan and Rhonda
Let us know if you do anymore mods please and ty!
Christopher, I just put on some Oedro 6 1/2 inch black Running Boards. These look great and bolt right in existing factory holes.
So the 2020 2024 gas 6.6 2500 is 500lbs less wieght over the nose then(diesel ) so if anything fit more tire under gasser front is gona be closest point tires rub
Hi Justin, may be true but there is no tire rub with 35x12.5x17 on a stock rim.
acorse undersized 35 on 7'' wide postive offset rim
7.5 inch x 17 rim. 35X12.5X17
I have the same truck. But also keep in mind that the Z71 HD comes 2 inches taller that other HD's that are not Z71.
Good to know!! I wondered about that it just has a higher stance. My son’s Trail Boss Z71 much higher than my old truck. Thanks for the knowledge and the input.
@@chrisc.treemendous6244 riddle me this? I have a crew cab 4X4 also. However, my truck does not have the front end gate. My truck sits higher. I have put my truck side by side by the standard truck and my truck is higher. I can fit 35’s no problem with no rub on or off road. Some have told me theirs rub. I appreciate your comment. 🤷♂️ Stan
@@chrisc.treemendous6244 must it. It has a good ride no complaints here. The truck is a beast even when towing my trailer. Thanks for the Input. Stan
@@chrisc.treemendous6244 2022 Z71 HD and up come 2 inch higher.
My friend has a 2020 High Country Duramax and couldn't fit the 35's stock only with a 2 inch level kit and i did fit 35's stock on my 2022 LTZ Z71 HD.
@@chrisc.treemendous6244 sorry but we drove new 2020 duramax hd LTZ Z71 off road and drove the duramax hd non z71 and side by side you can easily see the height difference on the 2020 model. we drove them the same day and parked side by side. we ended up getting the LTZ Z71 W/OFF ROAD PACKAGE, came with 275/65/20 wheels and tires and thats a 34.1 tall tire and easily could fit a 35", its a beast of a truck!
I have 2020 GMC 2500hd my stock tires are 275/60/20 looking to buy tires will 35s fit On my stock suspension
Hello Krisway, your tires measure now 34.1 inches. Yes the 35’s will fit on your stock rims. If you go with after market rims I guarantee it won’t fit. I hope this helps. Stan
I went with the 295/65 R20 which is a true 35" and has a higher load rating than the 35/12.5 20.
Hi Jeff, good for you! I have E rated tires. What are your tires rated at. I bet your tire looks good.
@@OverTheHillAdventures Mine are also E rated and each tire can hold 4080lbs @ 80psi
No rubbing coming out of a driveway? Are you running a Leveling kit?
@@carlosierra11 If that's directed towards me no level and no cutting or trimming. My 3500 did come with the beefier plow/trailer torsion bars.
@@carlosierra11 same here no leveling kit. I would caution other than stock rims if you go with aftermarket rims you might have a problem. Thanks for watching.
Does the rim size make a difference? 18” version 20” wheels
The 20 inch stock rims already have 34 inch tires. With 18 inch rims as long as you use the stock rims. After market 18 inch rims can make a huge difference and 35 inch tires may not fit.
how does it ride with the bigger tires though? seems like I can't get an answer on this anywhere
Hello Tim, it rides incredible. Quiet no road noise. I’ve been across the country and back pulling a trailer. I have 23,000 miles on them so far. I would definitely get another set. I suffer a little on the gas mileage. For the long haul they look good and ride great! Stan
@@OverTheHillAdventures thanks!!
Mine has 20’s though. Does that make a difference ya think?
Eric, if you have 20” rims. Your tires are 34.1 inches. You can fit 35 inch tires no problem. As long as you stick with the stock rims. Stan
So what size and brand tires did you go with?
Nito Ridge Grappler 305/70R17 which is a 341/2 X 121/2 on a stock 17 inch rim. It is only 1/2 inch smaller in diameter then the 35’s. If I did it again I would go with the 35X12.5X17 because the tire is cheaper. These tires are great so far. Aggressive tread but a quiet tire. Thanks for watching, Stan
I didn't think these came with 17s from the factory, was that a request when you bought it?
Hi Peter, it came from the factory with 17 inch rims. I am pretty happy makes for a smoother ride. I not running those tires anymore. I am running the Cooper Discoverers much better tire. Thank you for joining us. Stan and Rhonda🙏🏼🙏🏼
The 35’s looked beefy. The 305’s look small. Crazy 1” affects the look so much.
Hi Paul, you are exactly right. I just did not want to wreck my gas mileage simply because we are using it as tow vehicle. I compromised on both ends for the best outcome for us. Thank you for your comment I agree 100%. Blessings, Stan
@@OverTheHillAdventures gas mileage.... lol. Who cares about gas mileage when you're towing. The new tires look great!
Did the speedometer need to be recalibrated?
Yes, otherwise it will be about 2 mph off at 60 mph. Great question! Thanks for reaching out. Stan
🙌🙌🙌🙌
How did you clear the knuckle? I barely have clearance with the stock 33s that came on my 2022. Any wider of a tire, and its going to rub on the knuckle
Hi Peter, I am not sure what knuckle you are talking about. First of all, what size of rims do you have? I have no problems with rubbing at all, anywhere. The guys who have 20inch stock Chevy rims were already at 34 inch tires. Going to 35’s was an extra 1/2 inch on both sides. Do you have stock rims from the dealer or did the dealer put after market rims on? Your question is very interesting. Thank you very much for your comment. Stan
Stock 18s
So I have a 2021 2500HD, my rims are 20s though stock. Its an LTZ Z71 with the Duramax. I just had a blow out today and decided to just replace them all, but I want to go up a little, currently they are 275/65 R20. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Daniel, you already have 34" tires on your 20 inch rims. You can go 285/65R20 in inches is 34.6 inches in height and 11.2 in width. Anymore you might rub. The 20" rims are tricky! I love the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I hope this helps. Stan
@@OverTheHillAdventures Thank you my friend, that was an amazingly fast response, much appreciated. Hope you have a great weekend!
@@daniellickel9867 just remember as long as you stick with stock rims you’ll be good. If go with over sized rims you might get in some rub trouble. Blessings, Stan
we are in a similar spot. we drive 35-40k per year and want highmpg bc we mostly drive highway with some gravel we dont have to have off road style per se. we like our 20" stock wheels but the stock tires are just ok, not very good in heavy rain and terrible in light snow. we are looking at the michelin ltx at, maybe the mickey thompson baja legends or the general grabber atx. all about the same price and since we have 5k or so miles to go we have a month or so to make the decision. what tire did you end up getting and what is your opinion of them? thanks.
Did you wear out the OEMs already?
No, they looked ridiculous on the truck. I had to upgrade so it look like a real truck.
I thought the 2022 2500 came with 20 inch rims not 17 did you change the rim size?
Brian, mine came from the dealer with 17” rims. Much smoother ride than 20 inch rims. The Ford Raptors come with 17” inch rims.
Only the higher trims come with the 20's, High country/Denali etc
So a 285/75/18 should fit on a 2024 Chevy 3500?
Yes sir, on your stock rims.
Funny I have a 2022 AT4 2500 and it does not clear. It rubs the liner. It works, I just live with it, but when turning corners sharp it does in fact rub.
Hey Ryan, thanks for watching. I have a couple questions for you. Are you running stock factory rims? What size of rims are you running? I am running the stock 17” rims. It doesn’t come close to touching in a full turn. The stock rims are the game changer. If you run any kind of negative offset you will definitely rub. Stan
@@OverTheHillAdventures Yes Sir , stock 20" wheels

I just ordered a 2022 2500 custom and it’s coming with 20” wheels. I didn’t know z71 comes with a smaller wheel?
Hi John, yes my Z71 came with 17” rims. Ridiculous right. However, I have no complaint. It gives the truck a much smoother ride. Most Ford Raptors come with 17” rims and big tires so when they hit the desert dirt road the truck floats with their very expensive suspension. The cool part, if your truck is coming with 20” rims then you will already have 34” tires. 275/65R20 come in at 34.1 inches. However, some guys get wider after market rims and get a little wider tires and run into rubbing problems. Keep your stock rims if you want go wider on the tire. The Z71 has a good stance so no need to worry about a leveling kit. Hope this helps. Stan
we ended up getting the 2020 LTZ Z71 W/OFF ROAD PACKAGE, came with 275/65/20 wheels and tires and thats a 34.1 tall tire and easily could fit a 35", we have almost 60k miles on it, its a beast of a truck!

Turning while braking WILL rub
No sir not on mine.
What other adjustments did you do to the vehicle to ensure your speedometer and mileage are accurate? Larger tires always cause the speedometer to show faster than what you are going and the mileage counter is always off.
Yes you are correct larger tires do make your speedometer look faster. Mine is about 2.5 miles faster. I just keep i in mind. Thanks for watching our video. Stan and Rhonda
Did you ever have to recalibrate the speedometer? I have the same truck with the LT245/75r17 (31.6” tall tires) and I’m putting LT315/70r17’s (34.4” tires) on this week. It’s a pretty significant O.D. Difference. How badly is your speedometer off on accuracy?
Thanks.
Hi Alex, I keep in mind that I am actually going 3mph faster then what it says on my speedometer going 65mph. I am not doing the recalibration. I might change tire size the next time. I am so glad I kept the 17" rims much smoother ride than the 20" good call. Stan
@@OverTheHillAdventures very good to know. I plan on keeping the 17” wheels as well but after doing some calculations, I was giving myself the impression that the speedometer would be off significantly.
No other negative affects with the larger tires? Have you towed with it since you’ve put the 34” tires on?
Thanks.
@@alexloeffler7915 no problems towing. It tows like a dream. I like the stance of my truck now. The small tires made the truck look ridiculous. Super happy with the Nito tires.

Barely fit on a 17 inch wheel. I have a high country which comes with a 20 inch wheel so I guess I won’t be able to do that without mods
Hey Manny, with your 20inch rims your tires are already 34inch tires. You will have no problem putting on 35 inch tires. As long as you use your stock rims. Wider rims or aftermarket rims won’t work. Stan
Yeah, you can fit it and turn it full each side when you’re sitting in somebody’s driveway. Take it off road, and some even slightly rough terrain and then see if it rubs or not lol
No problem no rub. Thanks for watching👍
mine is 2022 3500hd with 278/70/18 thts 33.5" tire i think. my local tire shop said no way 35" will fit especially on stock rim cause its too wide. you think he doesnt know wht hes talking about or is he tryin to sell me wheels?
That’s pretty funny!! I show you on the video that they will absolutely fit! 😂. So yes, he does not know what he is talking about. However, I am no longer running the Nito Tires. I switched to the Cooper Discoverer 60,000 miles warranty. The Nito’s were too soft. 305/70R/17 is what I am running. 1/2 difference between the 35’s as I show at the end of the video.
I would go to Discount Tire. If you have on near you.
@@OverTheHillAdventuresyou think it matters if i have the 18" wheels or 17?
if you look online, 305/70/r17 is 33.8", 305/70/r18 is 34.8". my stock one is 33.2" i think.
@@alamray no it doesn’t matter if you have 18” wheels. I went with my 17” stock for a better ride which you will too! 20” rims make for a rough ride. That why the Ford Raptors have 17” and 18” rims. So yes my tires are a fraction under 34 but still are consider 34X12.5X17. The fit test I did in my video was a 35X12.5X17. The only reason I did not go with the 35’s was because of gas mileage and I didn’t want to calibrate my speedometer. I got tires that look great on the truck. Lots of folks have commented on this video. They love their 35” tires on their truck.
factory is 34" on 2500hd so obviously a half inch each side / 35" will def work.

Hoping it gets better gas mileage when it breaks in. For now I’m only getting 19mpg on the highway. How was yours when it was brand new? How long before it broke in?
Does the z71 sit higher than the 4x4?
We have a 4X4 z71. It does sit higher then the standard.
@@OverTheHillAdventures my question is. A regular 4x4. Vs a z71 4x4. Is the z71 highe
@@sr972 yes! The Z71 suspension is higher than a standard 4X4
How wide are those tires?
12.5 inches
20" rims?
It will rub when driving offroad
Robert, are you talking about the 35’s? I’ve taken mine off road and no rub. Stan
Of course a 34 is going to fit... That's literally what comes on it stock...
Yes, you are correct if you have 20inch rims. I had 17inch rims my tires were 31 3/4 inches. 35inch fits too on stock rims. After market rims they may not fit. So I am running 34X12.5X17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
@@OverTheHillAdventures wow, why would they put that small of a tire on the WTs? I mean I guess it saves a little bit but that wheel well deserves at least a 34 👌
@@mcbrideskoi absolutely correct!!
Congratulations, according to the Nitto website you now only have 3,080 lb capacity with that exact tire. With that heavy duramax engine and if you haul or tow heavy, you are now have less capability than stock.
Having traveled across the country pulling our trailer it was worth every cent!! I will never get close to my max payload with my rig.
Oohh look...we have a tire nazi!
This is a z71 so it should have a 2 inch lift stock
Hello Nichalos, I’m pretty sure this has been argued a few times on this channel. If it does I don’t see. It certainly has the stance of a two inch lift. All around great look with the new tires. Thanks for watching. Stan
35’s look way better
Only 1/2 inch smaller. I agree. Better gas mileage on smaller tires unfortunately though.
Forgot to say looks great both ways!
@@kellymckrill1313 thanks appreciate that!
Don't do it
Don’t do what?
