Default 275/60R20 (33") Tires Without Level is Good?
Currently, I have 275/55/20 tires. Can I replace them with the same Hankook tires but slight bigger 275/60/20 (33" diameter) without leveling or lifting my truck and using stock wheels? Any rubbing on turns or adjustments for speed correction? Any other issues?

In for this as well. I would like to just drop the rear with 1.5 shackles to level and leave the front as is, with a bigger tire. Getting big items in and out of the bed of the truck is difficult enough as is.

Im interested as well. I would like to know the biggest tire that would fit on my chrome 20" rims on stock suspension with no lift or level without rubbing

Raising the front I mean if I need to, to make it even with the rear. Maybe 1.5" or 2" level.

I'll second this. I put the same tires on my truck before I lifted it and it didn't rub. The guys at Discount Tire told me otherwise but I did it anyways since my appointment for the lift was the next day. To my surprise, it didn't rub at all.

FYI 275/65/20 KO2s are 34.1" and weigh approximately 57lbs per tire.

You're fine with a 33" tire and no lift or level. I did it on my 2011 and 2015 without issue.

I had no issues at all with my 275/60/20 KO2's and no level. They only started rubbing when I put on the WeatherTech mud flaps so I added the level then.

Thanks for the positive replies.

Any way, have you guys did something in the speedometer or what for speed correction due to change of tire diameter?

Nope, did not do anything to the speedo. My understanding is the dealership cant correct it and I would need to buy a $500 tuner. Not worth it to me.
