Installing Bigger Tires + New Wheels on my 2022 Silverado ZR2 | Do they fit?

- GM chose to install small tires on the Silverado ZR2. I swap on new wheels and 35" tires to fix that! But do they even fit? Wheel offset might be a little too aggressive lol.

Love how the truck is coming along. That's the problem of being the first kid on the block with a new toy, no aftermarket support yet lol I am 100% jelly tho
I know 😞. Waiting on people to make parts!
New wheels and tires look FANTASTIC!!! Good luck and safe driving.
GM should have used the same strategy as they did on the Colorado, plus some. It doesn't have to be supercharged, but dang at least make it more unique and aggressive from all angles. Wider, more travel, 35in tires, maybe even a diesel engine option. Either way, nice rig.👍
I'm REALLY hoping they make a ZR2+ or something that is a true widebody with 35s. But I have my doubts!
@@matt13ross GM authority has spy shots of a "next level" off-road Silverado..my guess it's another disappointment in the name of Silverado ZR2 Bison..and not anything special. We'll just have to wait and see.
Yea I was never impressed with the Bison version of the Colorado. Bunch of skid plates and some bumpers....neat.
They used the same strategy. Raced the truck for 3 Full seasons and finishing all the races.
@@mbukukanyau Wrong. They threw DSSV shocks and a cutout bumper on a Trailboss. Race? Against who? That's called marketing, dude. No such thing as a one-person race. They designed Colorado separately from it's other trims (wider track, taller, diesel option, ect). GM should have done the same with their 70k+ ZR2 Silverado
Very shocked to see gold but it looks AWESOME! Also props to GM for making the spare fit. If it fits it’s cause they made it fit.
Technically bronze...lol. But thanks!
I can't believe GM is still using the lamest spare tire method ever
Most people want to keep their bed space.
@@matt13ross that makes total sense, i just can't help stripping that thing lol then I have to replace it.
Yup, I think a true off road vehicle needs a full size spare. Most people only get 4 when changing them out, which is a problem when you're stranded.
Love the simplicity of this build, thus far
Thanks! I guess we’ll see how complex it gets…lol.
@@matt13ross really looking forward to it!
I think this is my new Dream truck over the Diesel ZR2 Colorado, just because of the interior
Interior is soooooo much better!
The Silverado zr2 should have come with 35 tires that being said, the looks awesome.
Agreed, and thanks!
I’ve got 295/70/18 on my 21 trail boss with -6 offset. I did lift the front an extra 1.75”. Now I only rub against the mud flap a little close to full lock. No issues otherwise.
Nice, how far does -6 stick out?
@@matt13ross I don’t have fender flares on or anything, but probably in the 1” area, which is perfect for me. I say -6 because because the factory offset if I believe +24 and I use the stock wheels with BORA 1.25” adapters.
It’s goin to be 5-6 months until I get my ZR2 but I’ll be watching all your videos on upgrades. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
They look awesome on there ....looks like a little trimming is necessary to avoid unforeseen road issues because they are to close to just forget about ...it will bite you in the ass when you least expect it ....next up ....exhaust and cold air intake ???
Gonna need to trim I think yes. Exhaust needs done for sure too!
I just put 295/70 R18 (34.5") on my 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 (stock suspension) with Fuel Off Road Vectors with a "1" offset (0.9" poke out). I had rubbing and did some trimming and cutting. No issues now. Bounced it pretty hard...no rubbing. Did a video on my channel if you wanna see the truck and work.
I’ll check that out, thanks! I def need to do some trimming on mine.
I’d be curious to see how much (if any) improvement you would see from the front rubbing if you removed those removable front bumper end caps.
That would def help.
It's so lame that GM didn't do factory 35's. That's going to rub badly off-road.
I know 😞
Excited on the ZR2 6.2 build. I'm sure your channel is gonna blow up since you'll probably the earliest in modding this beauty. Don't forget about us 🥺
I'm hoping this takes the channel to new heights!
Otherwise my $$$ was not well spent....lol.
@@matt13ross It will, hopefully you're able to make CZcams a full time job as well!
That's my goal!
There's a couple of brands of wheel / fender liners you can get for the bed. I took out my carpeted liners on my 2018 Z71 and put in rugged liners. Perfect fit and way easier to wash ! More coverage than factory ones...
Definitely adding some asap! Looks cheap without them.
Love the new truck. I really like those wheels. Simple and clean.
That's how I like things!
@@matt13ross now you’re not referring the girlfriend as simple and clean.😂😂
LOL
Looks awesome... too awesome I would be so sad when I chunked them up off-roading.
Ha, true story!
On my 2021 LTZ with MT AT's (35's) I added the ready lift and leveling kit to mine. Total 4 inches. Had to cut off part of the rear plastic mud caps.
No rubbage?
Always loved Bronze wheels but i bought black wheels on my white trail boss because i was scared of the look...but now i can have an idea on ur Zr2 and i love it! Keep the contents coming 🤙
Bronze is in!! But black looks good too. Thanks!
@@matt13rossQty.5 17x8.5 +0mm offset wheels with 35x12.50r17 tires seems like the ideal set up to me, just need to make the truck fit the wheels and tires 👍
Yea that would fit better than my -12mm offset. But I do love how the -12mm is nearly perfectly flush.
ReadyLift has a really good lift kit for the Trail Boss that will work for the ZR2 and it'll give you the correct geometry on your ball joint it comes with the upper control arms and they are pretty beefy
I actually emailed them to see why they say their kit won't fit the ZR2. I could definitely use the upper control arms. They appear the same on the ZR2 and Trail Boss.
@@matt13ross as far as I know it's the same 2 inch lift on the ZR2 as on the trail boss from the factory.
I know different shocks, but I'm not positive about the control arms and such.
Thanks for being the Guinea. 👍😆
I really am huh? lol
You can take off those end caps on the bumper so it doesn’t rub
I think it will look weird / ugly like that.
Love watching all of this. My dude those aren’t 35’s. Those are heavy 33’s. Maybe 33.8” of a tire. GM even states true 35’s which are like a 325/70/17-18 not going to clear due to front bumper. Nice 33’s though no joke. Measure your tires with a measuring tape from the ground to the top of tread. Keep going! Love the build.
This
I think more like a 34.5 according to Google. But yes I’ll measure.
@@matt13ross They’re 35s … people just like to be contrarians. I run 33s on my Colorado ZR2 & 35s on my Jeep JLU. Do they actually measure to 33 & 35? NOPE & I don’t flipping care - it’s what we call them in the Jeep & truck world based on rounded metrics & I’ve been wheeling for over 30 years.
@@krasnaludek298 a dimension is a dimension. That’s like saying you have a 8inch wang and really got a 6inch. Rounding up is harmful. Lmao. It’s just 2 inches right? No.
Lol @neeks that's hilarious!!
They look good. I could not stand the rubbing though; however, it is not my truck.
Working on the rubbing issue!
Sweet Ride! Love the updated dash!
Thanks and agreed!
GM did not drop the ball. They built a truck to fill a niche! You bought it! Your big problem here is the offset and how it pushes the tire out which causes a wider, longer arc to clear everything. If they supercharged it and made it a direct competitor of the TRX and Raptor, they shove it into a market that will be saturated if research hasn’t already shown it to be saturated. Yes they can’t keep up with orders currently, but that has so much more to do with the chip shortage and production capabilities vs demand. Before things hit the fan, back in 2019 I bought my last Raptor for $10,000 under the MSRP! The trucks were not selling out in the year they were produced for and the TRX didn’t exist. Fords production was exceeding the market on their own as a competitor and market of one truck!! When things settle, there could be issues for the TRX and the Raptor, GM has a massive market analysis team and I’m sure they did this truck for the simple fact it is currently in a niche where they are the only full size trucks (ZR2 and AT4X) with both front and rear lockers. A niche of one!! 33s as a stock tire are decent sized tires. I have never watched your channel so I don’t know if you take the truck out to off-road scenarios that actually push the limits. If not, then the 35s are all for appearance anyways.
I have a F150 Tremor and will use it to 75 or 80% if it’s capabilities which aren’t quite as high as the Silverado ZR2. I have no need to go to a larger tire personally. I have built some extreme trucks, but now that my back is totalled (so to speak) I have no need and have built a couple of nice 2wd trucks and several cars. After selling off 6 of them recently I’m now down to an even dozen. They all get driven quite regularly!!
Meh I think they just cheaped out. TBH, the ZR2 isn't going to badly beat the Trail Boss off road other than the lockers. Basically same ride height and similar tires.
Looks sweet! Love the channel!!
Thank you!
Truck looks tough bro! I'm installing the same 35s next week. How they holding up, any complaints/regrets?
Nope, they’re nice and not too loud. Look nice too.
Awesome.Already going hard with the Bowtie 💪🏻. Can't wait for the exhaust.
Yessir, and thanks!
@@matt13ross I seen the new zr2,you putting 35's on it,and only the second video.. No need to thank me brother.The content caught my eye.👊🏼
Excellent!
They do look great.
Agreed!
Just a hair over 34s... Still look great!
Thanks!
Does the bronze colored wheels match the stitching? Or anything. The Truck is dope with those wheels and tire. Can’t wait to see the rest of the upcoming Mods . Thank you young sir.
Doesn’t match anything, I just like them lol.
The only stock trucks that will fit 35s: Gladiator, TRX, & Raptor. I’ve seen Tundras & a F-150 Tremor on 35s with no lift, but that’s street use only … no room for articulation.
Yup, you're not wrong there.
I have this exact same size and offset only running toyo RT on my trailboss, had to remove the mud flap bracket and trim the mud flap a bit and I have zero rub full lock. I did manipulate the liners a bit.
Doesn't hit the front bumper?
@@matt13ross no contact at all, it was close - but this wheel size with the -12 offset is the largest I could get without needing a level or a larger lift.
Same offset as mine. Nice!
Looking good man!
Thanks man!
You and your buddy are lookin swole. nice job.
Haha thanks!
Looks awesome! I’m getting mine tomorrow, also white! Do you know what is the original rim width measure? I’m planning to install 1” front leveling spacers and I was thinking cooper stt pro 305/70r18 or yokohama geolandar 295/70r18. Cheers from Cabo!
Stock wheel width I'm not sure. Probably 8.5 or 9".
They look sweet!!
Thanks!
That was the first thing I did is to remove the spare tire and relocate it to the bed of the truck it looks much cooler 😎 to see the back end of the truck Instead of some bulky tire Sticking down looks like shit Plus if the pulley or cable gets rusted up how often do you change your tire..lol Now when you need to change your tire you can't will be cut tire out from underneath the truck
I want to keep my bed space. I did that in my Colorado though.
Does it not have an inner fender liner in the rear? Is that something that is available? Looks great Matt.
Gm didn’t supply them. Some kind of factory problem. Got a $140 discount
Those wheels look great 👍.
Thanks 👍 I think so too!
1 inch Level might solve it
I have my doubts but imma try
I ordered a ZR2 mine supposed to come in July but we will see. I think I’m going to run 33s until the warranty is up then send it to pax power to get it hopefully maybe on 37s but at least 35s and the supercharger they add to there jackal trucks which are just trail bosses on steroids.
That sounds like a sweet truck! Widebody too?
@@matt13ross yes they are wide body check them out stage 3 jackal pax power they look awesome and I they tune them to around 700 hp
Love it!
Look a lot like the wheels you have on your Colorado.
Meh, really just similar in color nothing else.
👍 Looks sweet. How much for the stock wheels and where are you located? TIA
Have them listed for $2,000. I'm near Harrisburg Pa.
Don't know what you do for a living but you must make great money if you can buy a zr2 silverado and the. Spend money on it good luck with it
Well I sold it so.....
I'm so jealous of that truck haha
Idk if the payment is worth it lol
@@matt13ross very true, excited to see all the mods. At least you know youll be able to sell it for more than you paid.
That is a good thing. Who knows maybe I'll sell for the new Colorado ZR2 when it comes out?
@@matt13ross that's my plan too haha
ALso I'll be curious if any company will make a suspension lift for the ZR2 because that's what you paid the money for is those fancy shocks you'll have to remove.
Sometimes you can keep the shocks when adding a lift.
BDS made a lift for the Colorado ZR2. I'm sure we'll see the same for the Silverado ZR2.
These companies need to get their parts out sooner lol.
Did you do any measurements at the top of the wheel well, front and rear before adding the wheels and tires?
No, since I sold it.
Thank you looks fantastic. Wheels part number?
I don’t have that. But the specs are 18x9 -12mm
@@matt13ross I found them on the fuel website thank you!
Nice!
I feel like The ZR2 should be supercharged I mean it competes with the ram trx.
Only if it was widebody and long travel IMO.
Matt, GM is sending you a message and you aint getting it. So let me spell it out for you. ZR2 & AT4X are not competing against the Ram TRX and Ford Raptor. ZR2 is competing against the Ram Rebel and Ford Tremor. A 35 inch wheel adds an inch of ground clearance that 99.999999999999999999999999999999% GM buyers dont need. 35 inch wheels reduces gas milage when gas is $5 a gallon. Increases stopping distance and reduces acceleration.
Everyone that is buying the ZR2 and AT4X Knows damn well you cant put 35's on them.
I think the message they're sending is "We cheaped out and half a**ed this build knowing full well we could have built an actual Raptor competitor".
@@matt13ross With that logic you could say that about the Colorado ZR2. It was a smart move by GM. They add front and rear lockers , big infotainment screens and add $15K MSRP and cant keep them on the lot. Plus they add shitty AFM lifters and the 6.2L engine will never ever last as long as the Raptor engine. Raptor holds its value and has proven itself. Fools are lined up to buy the ZR2 & AT4X. These are the same idiots that voted for Joe Biden and think record inflation is Trumps fault.
I don't think many off road truck buyers voted for Biden...just saying lol.
you can remove the front part but the back you may have to shave off a bit.
Yup, maybe I'll space out the bumper instead.
Doesn’t the zr2 come with 2 inch lift?
Yes, similar to the Trail Boss.
Nice wheels
Thanks!
Stop comparing it to the Raptor and TRX chief. Widebody limits where you can go off road - ZR2 does everything/ has capability.
You're correct there, but I'd still prefer the widebody. If I'm going through the woods, a smaller truck (IE Colorado ZR2) would be my choice anyway.
With a level and the subpar AEV trim kit you should be good!
Trim kit for the Silverado?
Not yet, but you know it will be so/so
Most likely yea.
Sorry matt put back on the black rims
Ooohh disagree! Though the black were fine, just too small.
@@matt13ross lol fair enough I love the work you do
Thanks!
Crispy!!
Yea that's right booiii
What was the backspacing on the wheels?
I don't remember, sorry.
Nice video ❤️👍
Thanks! 🙏
So no more Colorado?
Still have it. For sale though!
Why didn't you just go for 35" Goodyear Wranglers from the TRX?
I like the tires I got. Looked at a bunch of them.
Gm should be embarrassed that it can’t fit 35’s. It should be a option atleast.
For it to be an option they would have to have bigger fender wells or a larger lift. I wish it was though.
@@matt13ross I have a at4 now and it looks so bad with 33
And the AT4 has even smaller fender wells than Silverado.
So on the Chevy trail boss you can comfortably fit 37" tires with UCA, coilovers, and both mud flap/crash bar delete. I'm sure on the ZR2 with the additional clearance 37's should not be an issue
No way you can put 37s on a trail boss.
@@matt13ross yes you sure can. Company called LTW Motorsports in Southern California that installs 37's on Trail Bosses all day, everyday. They are on Instagram with plenty of examples. They even did a regular Silverado 1500 4×4 today with 37's, looks bad ass too.
What lift? I meant no way in stock form.
@@matt13ross Just UCA with King or Fox coilovers. Nothing in the rear.Removing the crash bar is what makes 35 and 37s fit with no issues.
Stock offset wheels?
Love the bronze wheels and white truck. Good choice. If you’re going to do anything with the exhaust, Black Widow makes some amazing mufflers. Just saying 😊
Thanks! Well, no one makes a full exhaust yet other than Borla!
you should have gone 255/85r17 mt baja boss. 10x34.8 def the way to go.
I have 18s though lol.
What type of spacers for rear
None
Did you need wheel spacers to gap the brake calipers?
Nope
Awesome
Can't you level a zr2?
Yes but they don't make a specific kit yet.
Has anyone supercharged one of these yet?
Don't think so, but should be the same as a 2021.
Can we verify if the ZR2 has front wheel crash bars?
Not sure what that means.
@@matt13ross Just behind the front wheel well, front and back.
Hrm, not sure. I'm assuming hidden by the plastic liners? I will be taking a peek back there to see about trimming.
GM didn't drop the ball, based on your wants (wide body, long travel) you were looking for a baja style truck such as the raptor or trx but instead got the Trail truck that gm offers. I call it more of a missed opportunity on GM's part. They could've jumped on the baja bandwagon. After all, they already have a very capable colorado zr2. Maybe next time for GM (if it's not too late)
I agree somewhat. This truck should have been cheaper though.
@@matt13ross I second that! I test drove one and wasn't really that impressed. For a few grand you can put coilovers on a Trail Boss or regular silverado and that alone will outperform the suspension on the zr2. that locker though, now that would be fun to have to get in and out of tough places. Good upload btw.
Honestly a regular 4X4 Silverado with the 6.2 would be the place to start. Then add a mid travel suspension kit, nice wheels and tires, widebody fenders, done. All probably same price as a ZR2.
This is a rap video on wheels
Yes
How do you afford this? 😮
Banks will give darn near anyone a loan these days lol.
You missed a spot!
Probably a few 😂
Thought this was interesting. It’s last years Trailboss but a 35x11.5 seemed to fit and not rub. See this guys video. Wonder if it’s same wheel well, I assume so.
czcams.com/video/ANqC7cYxcbA/video.html
He's got stock wheels, that's the difference. Mine stick out further which make fitment more difficult.
Chevrolet dropped the ball by a development program spanning two actual desert racing seasons in a real racing series. Yeah.
Agreed
Wide body is not good for off-roaders.
Depends on the location
Sorry, but I liked it better with the original wheels and tires.
To each their own.
Are u really using a brush on that paint ? Come on now brother ur a gear head too
Man I very tired of this comment lol. It's a microfiber brush, very soft!!!
P.S.Chevy is cheap all that money I do not see wheel well protectors. Make sure you get them
Factory problems prevented them from being included. I will add them.
Can’t believed you ruined my truck with those ugly rims. Lawd
Not sure how a wheel ruins a truck as they simply unbolt....
@@matt13ross actually tueche, also didn’t think you’d respond. I have same truck going with red and black rims. To each their own they just don’t match anything although I’m sure you will still be adding to it. Any tips on how to get the garage door openers to connect?
Hrm, I've been meaning to sync the garage door openers but haven't got around to it. Might go try it now!
@@matt13ross oh man please let me know how you did it.
I just looked it up in the user manual, but couldn't get it to work. I think my remote needs new batteries.
35s aren’t massive 37s aren’t even massive anymore
@@username-kn3oh lmao little kids
Size is relative. For a non lifted truck, 35s are pretty big. While 40s on a monster truck would be tiny.
That’s your opinion. I run 35s on a Jeep JLU with 2” lift, because I have zero interest in a stupidly high center of gravity like some of the tools running show truck lifts. As a result, the 35s are plenty big for a purpose built truck/Jeep. My Colorado ZR2 runs on 33s with only a front level, because the DSSV shocks are sensitive to geometry changes. The 33s look big on a mid-size truck. Only rigs that really justify 37s are rock crawlers or heavy-duty trucks to keep with body proportions.
I also don't like big lift kits.
@@krasnaludek298 u drive a jeep so that explains a lot already
35s too smol.
Can't even fit 35s, let alone bigger....lol.
@@matt13ross without modding... *evil grin*
True, but I don't want to lift it up too high, this is a daily!
The truck aint worth the price.... period..
To each their own!
