I posted pictures on an earlier date but I got new tires.  2019 RST, 2 inch level, with Black Rhino Apache 18x9 and Cooper AT3 XLT 285/65-18.

How did the larger tires do? It looks like your english dimensions went from 32.6x11.2 to 33.2x10.8. Did you go narrower to fit the larger diameter? What's your wheel offset? Your running black rhino wheels and it looks like they almost all run -12. How's your poke? Sounds weird asking that, how much of your tires sticks out of the fender? Would you mind posting a pic showing the wheel edge to fender?

 

I have been leaning toward replacing my stock 18"rims with 20s and going to 275/60/20 (33x10.8) this would give me the same sidewall as stock but larger wheels and tires proportionately. Further the debate on offset vs stance. Using a 0 offset and 11.2" tires should align the backspacing up with stock, just slightly larger. Conversely a -12 offset and 10.8" wide tires should be the same backspacing with a less aggressive stance look and likely better fuel mileage due to less rotating mass and surface area friction.

 

For those with stock height Chevy's I've been combing thru to see what fits and here's the list I have so far back to middle of August. Blank spots are non-definitive data as in they didn't specifically say in their postings. I'll dig a little further back and post a new list again later.

 

Stock 2020 Chevy RST with Z71 came with 265/65/18 (31.6x10.4")

Had the 305/55/20 ridge grapplers installed last week. Ride is a ton better than it was with the 295/60 E load rated ridge grapplers. The 305s are D load rated vs the OEM C load rated so they are still a bit stiffer than OEM but still the 305s are a 4 ply tire and softer overall. The visual difference on the truck is so small that I cant even tell the difference so didnt bother taking more pictures. I will say that even with some minor trimming of the mud flaps, the 295/60 had some minor rubbing at full lock. There is 0 rubbing now with the 305s. Even though the the 305s are 1 inch wider (11.5 vs. 12.5) on a 20x9 they are right about 12 wide. Im guessing that on a 20x10 they would be closer to the 12.5. With this change my speedo is also back to normal (was off by 2-3 mph depending upon speed) and I removed 60 lbs of rotating mass (15 per wheel/tire). This seems to be the sweet spot for my truck now so hopefully others with a Denali who are contemplating doing something like this will benefit from this info.

Just wanted to thank you for all of this  information.  Super helpful.

20” GMC wheels with Toyo Open Country AT3 275-60-20. These tires ride like a dream. Not as aggressive as my KO2 but I really like these toyos.

I basically copied one of the members here.  I like it!

285/65R20 (34.6x11.5) Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT, 2019 Sierra SLT 6.2, OEM SLT Wheels, 2 inch front level, 1 inch rear block. No rub in drive. Rub at half lock in reverse. (Anyone know why these trucks rub only in reverse?) I'll be removing the mudflap bracket and zip tying the liner back to alleviate that rub.

Just wondering - what do you guys think the best budget off-road wheel and tires are? I will be swapping my wheels out once the tires become worn, but am debating getting a set of nice take offs vs. new off-road wheels.

That looks great.

 

Tires rub in reverse due to the rubber bushings letting the suspension shift forward just enough, and the front end can dip down just a bit as well.

Traded in the stock Bridgestones shoes for the Nitto terra grapplers. 285/45 r22 week ago Friday. Took them for a fresh snow drive today and they worked great.

Used illustrator to mock up some wheels. I like bronze in theory but it's incredibly rare to find a set on a dark blue T1. I just had my tow mirrors installed and shell is due any day. I'll redo this with a new photo soon. I also played around with coloring the Z71 logo to match the bronze.

These are KMC KM722 Technic in bronze and grey for reference.

Is that stock suspension still?  It looks like its been leveled ? 

Its leveled in the front only, it rubbed a little bit so I had to get it done.

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
