How do you plan on adjusting the odometer for that taller tire? Word is by GM that even if all you do is change the odometer stuff if you have any powertrain issues GM can use the fact you tuned the ECM to fix odometer error due to non stock size tires to deny powertrain warranty issues.

I'm running P275/60r20 Open Country AT2s with a 1" level. I have about 1500 miles on them and they are awesome. The tires rub the front driver side wheel well liner in reverse at full lock. Even with a 2.5" level kit you may still rub but it won't be bad. My speedo is off 2 mph at 70 mph. If those 275/65r20s are LT tires you are going to notice a significant decrease in acceleration and MPG but they will look great.

I have 275/60R20 Cooper AT3 with 2.5" RC lift kit, no rub at all and looks nice. 275/60R20 was the biggest size P tires that I could find, as I didn't want to go with LT tires and sacrifice MPG and the soft ride.

Any rubbing? A local shop is going to install a 2.25 Ready Lift kit for me, but they are afraid I can't fit those tires on aftermarket wheels - they said they have only put this big of tires on factory wheels.

I think they will work fine, mine don't close to rubbing

20x10 fuel hostage - 24 offset

305/55/20 Falken wild peak a/t

 

It did rub a little, I just cut a small piece of the back mat and hammered the sheet metal about 1/8".

as long as you use a 20x9 with 0 offset you should be fine, Once you use a 20x10 wheel thats when you run into problems but if you want the deep dish look the 20x10 wheel is the way to go. Just stick to a 5" backspacing and go with 285/55/20 to be on the safe side. It will still look aggressive if you go with mud tires or all terrains.

I've got a 2014 Denali.

 

I've got the 20x9 KMC D2's and Toyo 285/55r20 sittin gat the shop ready to go.

 

I ran the same combo on a 2012 Avalanche with very little "reverse-over-a-bump-rubbing-at-full-lock" rub

 

Do you guys think I'll need a level? Hope not.

Most likely, with 285/55/20 on a 20x9 -0- offset wheel all you will probably need is a 2" leveling kit. No need for 2.5" or taller leveling kit with 285. With a 2.5" leveling kit and 20x9 wheel -0- offset people have been putting 305's with no rub.

Im wanting to run 275 70 R18 on stock wheels with 2 inch rough country lower strut mount leveling kit. Will they fit?

 

You should be fine

YQatari do you have any pics? Would love to see them. As for mod the speedometer I hadn't put much thought into that yet. Would hate to void the power train warranty... As for LT vs P? I have no idea what that is

LT tires are 10 ply, P tires are generally 4 ply. LT or "E" range tires are heavier and tougher, usually have stiffer sidewalls and resist flats better the P tires. *Most* people don't need LT tires.

Well guys here she is leveled and new skins. I haven't discovered anything rubbing and the ride is incredible over those crappy Goodyears that come from the factory. Leveling Kit was a $40 Ebay 2" level kit, Aluminum spacer. Also New Nitto Terra Grapplers, yes they are wide 305/60/18. The look is awesome compared to factory. Here are the images.

    • 3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49. 
    • Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks. 
    • Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL. 
    • $5.10 for regular at the Kroger   It's been 6 months... is this the "new normal" ?
    • Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
