275/70 R18's only change the speedo by 1.5 kph at 100kph. Not worth worrying about.

275/70R18's put my speedometer dead on. Was a little fast for the actual speed before.

How wide are the stock 20" wheels? I'm thinking of going with 295/55/20 as these are closest to the stock 265/60/20 that came on the truck.

Would the the stock 20" wheels be wide enough?

Thanks,

The stock 20s are 8.5" wide. 295/55r20s will be just fine on them. I, and many other people are running 305/55r20s on them with no problems.

Good morning everyone,

Geektoad, you're running 305 55 20 with no leveling kit and no rubbing? I have a '16 2500 with stock 20's and am going back and forth , measuring, etc.. to see what I can fit.. debating with getting a level kit.. hearing good and bad about them..I want the bf goodrich ko2's.. 275 65 r20 which are 34" but same width as stock tire.. would like wider ones...

Did you notice a drop in mpg? Thanks for your input

I'm running a suspension maxx level kit on mine. It's not fully level, because I wanted to my angles in decent shape and i also didn't want to be nose up when towing/hauling. I've seen quite a few others say they run 305s without a level though.

 

I've probably dropped in mpg, but I'm all over the place in what i do with the truck...short trips, highway, towing, hauling, etc. so it's hard to really have a good feel on mileage. It's also only got 6800 miles on it, so it's not even fully broken in yet, so mileage will still improve a bit over time.

Nice! That's the level kit I was looking at.. I want to go 2" in the front and 1" in the rear to have about 1" of rake.. you're right about having the front end too high.. a lot of people make that mistake and the back end drags and looks ridiculous... good luck with your truck!!.thanks for the response..

Ran LT275/65R20 BFG KO2's on Factory Denali 20" wheels on my 2015.5 2500. Didn't touch a thing - no rubbing.

 

Just purchased 2017 3500 Denali HD Duramax. Only come with 18" wheel from factory - moved to same 20" wheels as 2500 with same 275/65 but Michelin LTX Defender M/S. Same result. No rubbing, didn't touch keys, body or fender liners.

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
