Greetings & Salutations.

 

Allow me to preface this by saying:  a)  I've tried searching, prior to this post, and I'm still confused; b) for all the vehicles I've owned, I have to ask each time, because the measurements are taken into account differently.

 

I currently own a 2019 Silverado RST 2.7L, with the stock 18×8.5, 265/65-18. 

 

I'm looking into getting 18×8.5 +30mm, 5.94" backspacing, with 275/65-18.

 

Stock suspension, no spacers.

 

I know the speedo will be off a little, but what else am I not thinking of?  I know this is the King N00B of all question; and it is the most asked question on every automotive forum, and for that I sincerely apologize...but this whole thing still confuses me.

 

Thank you.

The new trucks need the spokes to clear the front calipers, which is why the K2 truck wheel (old body) don't clear without a spacer of some sort.    

 

Diameter wise you are going from 31.5" to 32" tires, so you will read 1mph slower compared to actual travel speed.  Not enough to sweat over.
