i dont see there being a problem there. i have 35s on mine with just the torsion keys turned up a bit. i had some rub but now that i have about 20K on them they dont rub unless i turn and hit a bump.

Ok i appreciate it...yea i believe the 275/65/20s are 34s so if they do rub shouldnt be bad from what your saying

Apples to oranges, but on F150s they will not. Plenty of clearance.

Find a GMC Sierra forum and they'll likely have people with the same tires that asked the same question. That would be the most reliable source.

I did the same wtih my truck.

Have 305/70/16 on my Chevy with leveling kit. Had a very small amount of rub when installed. Took about 30 seconds of cutting an inch or so from guard to make em fit. They're absolutely fine even when offroad and tires all the way turned

I'm not a mechanic, but I think that size is a go with a leveling kit.

He has a GMC. I have a Ford. I said that it was an apples to oranges comparison. I think you get it now.

Yellowfin, those tires are cheap compared to other sizes. It's a lose lose situation but you are on the slightly better side, price wise. Go much wider or taller and watch the price shoot up.

shite. Damn it, boy.

Go to SAMS and get some Good Year Wranglers. My 265/70 R 18's were 152 a piece. I wouldn't think your size would be much over 200 a piece there.

I have 285/70/R17 on my 2500 and they rub a little, but I just have to do a little trimming and they should be fine. I also have the duratracs and those bitches are high as eagle pussy. 1500 once it was all said and done.

I wouldn't think they would...

That's the stock tire size on my Ram...not that big of a tire.
