my dad has a 2002 or 2003 chevy avalanche z71 right now he has 265/70/17 tires on the truck. i just found him some bfgoodrich all terain tires that are 315/70/17. if we were to throw these on would it effect the turning radius or anything, or will they even fit at all?? Thanks

ok, yeah i looked it seems like the biggest size without rubbing is 295 my dad wanted to raise the truck a little anyways, does anyone know what is needed to make these tires work, my dad said he doesn’t mind losing some turning radius but i’m sure he wouldn’t mind cutting out some of the wheel well. thanks

ok, so i know they aren’t going to fit with a stock suspension, i was wondering what will be needed to make them fit, the truck has torsion bars in the front and leaf springs in the rear so i don’t really know what to do

or use ford keys on the torsion , and you can cheap out on the rear, by blocking it
