Hey all i was just wondering if anyone has a 2003-2006 2500HD with 18" rims. I was wondering how they looked in the wheel wells cause the oem 16s just look small. Also what size tires i could fit without cutting. I do have a leveling kit already.. Any pics would be greatly appreciated

i have 18s on my 2500hd 4x4. you can get a bfg 305-65/18 which is a 33.7 but you have to have a positive offset. i had a -12mm offset and i was only able to fit a 325/60/18 on my truck with a quite a bit of trimming.

So since I have an 01 could I technically fit those big tires under it with just a leveling kit? I will have a negative offset as well?

yes but your tire shop will have to trim the plastic alot. Snce the negative offset makes the wheels poke out and a 325/60/18 tire is a 13.50 wide tire they have to do quite a bit of trimming because of the width of the tire. Now say you went with a 305/60/18 or a 285/65/18 you would have to do minor trimming if even that.
