I have a 2017 suburban lt Z71 midnight edition. I have the black 18 in wheels. Swapping them out for a set of 20s. On stock ride height will 275/65/20 rub at all?

You could even go 55's if you wanted to.  I have wheels and tires at stock ride height from the factory, 275/55/20.  Turn radius is better than my cars, no rubbing.

275/55/20 is the stock 20" tire size so that will have zero diameter increase over the 18" and the stock 265/65/18 tires if you are looking for a larger diameter tire.  The 18" and 20" diameter are 31.7-31.9" average, so we will round that to a 32" diameter tire.   

 

I would say at most without a leveling kit, a 275/60/20 should fit (that's a 33" tire).  275/65/20 is a 34" tire and I would think that would rub.  A 285/55/20 may be too wide and might require some wheel liner trimming at full lock, but the diameter is 32.4" so in between the stock 20" and the 275/60/20. 

 

So ideally, 275/60/20 without a lift or level should work.

Please help with advice, I just switched my stock 18” rims with 275/65-18 tires out for 20’s with 275/60/20 tires on my 2018 z71 Suburban and they rub pretty bad!! 

If I do a 2” leveling kit would that likely resolve my issue with the tire size of 275/60/20’s? Or should I do a tire size of 275/50/20?

I find that strange, what offset are the 20s? On OEM wheels my 2016 Suburban with a lot of miles (suspension has definitely settled some) fit the 275/60R20s from my truck without issue. 275/50s would be too small, stock size for the 20 spec'd Suburbans was a 275/55R20.

 

If you have aftermarket wheels the offset it likely your issue, either way get someone in the vehicle and turn the wheels both ways while you're outside to see where it's hitting. You may be able to trim/bend something out of the way or see if going up would help.

 

Here is my 16 with 275/60R20 BFG All Terrains, completely stock suspension with no rubbing.

I have 285/55/20 Toyos on my 2015 Z71 LTZ.  Had to trim about an inch off the edge of the pass side inner fender wall.  Otherwise, looks rides great.

275/55R20 will have no issues.

 

What type of wheels are the 20"?  Aftermarket?  OEM?

I have a 16’ Yukon, stock says 275/55/20, i was wondering if 275/65/20 would rub? I checked measurements and I know truck would come up an inch as well, would I have to trim anything I’m debating but I do want it to sit higher then with stock, my RAM truck  is a 1500 two wheel drive and it’s got the 275/65/20 and I don’t have any issues with it rubbing so I thought maybe my Yukon won’t either, thanks in advance for advice

Just like those guys, easy to run 275-60-20 and if a fresh suspension and or with a level, 275-65-20.  If you want to go wider, search for photos but that's about as tall as you can fit in there.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.

      I may be old school. But I’ll pass. I’ll stick with the old stuff. Thank you.
