So I plan on getting the Bilstein 5100s to level the front of my GX, but I also want to upgrade the wheels and tires. I read through some of the offset and tire threads, but I wanted to see if anyone can tell me what size tires will not rub if I get a 1.75 inch lift in the front and buy these wheels: Convoy 17x8.5 / 6x139.7 / +25 (501SA Convoy Salt – Nomad Wheels - https://www.nomadwheels.com/products/501-convoy-salt?variant=43555543187637). I know this is a loaded question, but I would rather not do any cutting or mods on my wheel wells unless I absolutely have to. I appreciate any responses from the group.

As a suggestion, figure out the maximum tire size you can fit under your rig's factory spare tire location. Unless you're planning on a tire carrier (of some kind) in the back or keep a spare in the third seat area, or... just not having a spare, stay with no larger than a 32" tire.
I've been running these for the past 7 years with first: 33", then went up to 35" tires.

You can ignore everything else if you just need rim size/offset.
