I am currently in the process of buying a 2007 Silverado Ext. Cab. It is the new body style. I am having the dealer put on a leveling kit and am planning on a set of rims and tires. My question is, how big can I go with tires? I am planning on 17X9 rims...what size would you recommend? I do some off road work in pastures and such checking cattle so I need the suspension to be able to travel without rubbing.
Also...What do I want for back spacing and the specifics for the rims, I have never purchased aftermarket rims so I am new to this.
Thanks so much for the help, Great site you have hear.


I believe you could fit 33's with the leveling kit. There are a lot of threads on this topic on here if you do a search. Congrats on the truck and welcome.
