Wasn't sure where to post this but I figured you all on the OB would be the most knowledgeable.

Truck:
2007 New body style Chevy Silverado
Crew cab
LT 20" chevy rims and P275/55/R20 Dueler H/L alenza tires with decent amount of tread left

Leveling kit:
2.5" rough country leveling kit
(Higher than normal leveling kit, has spacers added to top and bottom on front and blocks in the back)
Kit says it fits up to 285/70r17

Tire/Rims I wtb:
17x9 ballistic Havoc wheels
-12 offset (is this a good/bad offset?)
285/70R17 Goodyear Wrangler M/t tires

Will all this fit/not rub without triming or cutting?

Also what will I need to do after the install (besides alignment)?

Thoughts:

will I need to recalibrate my speedo, is this expensive?

will I need tire pressure sensors added? How can I tell if my truck has them now?

Also, anyone have any idea on how much I could sell my current set of rims/tires for?

Thanks ahead of time for any answers you can provide me with.

This will fit with ease, if any trimming is required it would be minimum and you could do it with a razor knife. I've never recalibrated my speedos. Download a gps speedo app and check your difference, from then on you will know how fast you are going.

did you install this kit yourself? have you noticed a difference in your ride quality?
