Default Largest tire on a stock 2013 Platinum

Hi All - I'm leasing a 2013 Platinum. What is the largest tire I can go to without a leveling kit? I was thinking about Moto Metal 951 wheels, so I'm open to different sizes if needed.

Thanks

If the truck's a 4x4 you can put a 305x55x20 all terrain...it took the stock wheel's to get them to fit at stock height.

thanks Pawpaw. it is a 4x4. I'm thinking Nitto Terra with a Moto Metal 951. Do most guys just buy the stock size wheel to fit that 305/55/20 or do guys get a little more backspacing?

The stock wheel backspacing is about 6.5 inches which pulls the tire real close to the upper control arm but no rubbing in 24k miles. A wheel that's 9 inches wide with around 5.75 inches of BS would be a great size. A 275x65x20 (34x11) may fit with some trimming at stock height if the wheels are close to stock specs.

Anytime you go with a larger tire which is usually heavier you'll lose mileage and some performance.
