2007-2014 Chevy Silverado 2500 Wheel, Tire & Suspension Fitment Guide

Chevy’s second version of the 2500 debuted in 2007 and represented a big step-up compared to the first generation. Chevy aimed to give the Silverado improved refinement, more power, and better towing capability. They also enhanced the design, changing multiple aesthetic features like the grille, headlights, and fenders. A popular favorite among truck enthusiasts, the second generation built on the success of the first generation Silverado and became known as one of the top contenders in the heavy-duty truck market.

If you’re choosing to make a second generation (2007-2014) Chevy Silverado 2500 as your next custom off-road build, then congratulations, you’re making a smart choice.

Below we’ll detail the best wheel and tire fitments to make your Silverado 2500 into your next off-roader, as well as show examples from our gallery of what other Silverado owners put on their trucks to help inspire you with your build.

Stock Wheel & Tire Fitment for the Second Generation Chevy Silverado 2500

Available sizes off the line for the second gen Silverado 2500 came in a few sizes for tires. You had 245/75 and 265/70 as options to go along with 17x7.5 and 18x8 sizes for the wheels. When it comes to bolt patterns, the Silverado sported a 8x6.5 pattern. This is critical to remember when you’re looking for wheels for your rig, because you’ll want to make sure any wheel you’re considering fits that same pattern. If it doesn’t then you’re going to need an adapter to make it fit.

As is fairly typical with off-roaders, the standard combination of bigger tires with smaller wheels is what you see a lot of in our gallery for Silverado 2500s. A lot of 35 or 37 inch tires with wheel sizes ranging from 17 all the way up to 20 inches in diameter are optimal for uneven terrain and different weather conditions. This kind of fitment combined with a leveling kit or lift kit between 4 to 6 inches to give your rig maximum ground clearance will allow your truck to comfortably handle rocky terrain or bumpy trails. One thing to keep in mind with a lift kit of that height range however is your suspension geometry. You want to make sure that it’s properly aligned before going out on the trials. If it’s out of whack, you can end up causing massive damage to your rig’s suspension.
