Hey Guys,
I just lowered my Limited 2 inches and I'm looking for some opinions on 20 inch tire size. From looking at tire calculators it seems 285/50 20s are really close to the stock diameter tires I have now (255/75 16). Any opinions on the size?
Thanks,
Paul.
Any insight on this post would be greatly appreciated. Im in the same boat for different reasons!
I have a 97 Tahoe 2wd 4 door, and the springs were slightly cut to even the ride height out. The car looks lowered compared to any 4wd models.
Paul, I don't mean to impose on your post, so hopefully my research up to this point will benefit you...
I have a set a of polished 20s with 275/45/20 tires ready to be replaced. I was thinking to upgrade to 275/55.... but my internet research calculations say that adds about 3 inches from factory height. I went out to the car with a 3 inch paper to size it up.
From what I can tell, my truck would potentially rub when turning with 275/55. There is maybe a 1/8 to 1/2 inch potential clearance issue. But in the back and around the wheel well it seems good to roll.
The 275/50 seem to be the next logical step. Makes sense why they are the most expensive options. I found some all terrain tires with high reviews for 118 on tire rack!!!! then i looked for 275/50 and the cheapest I would purchase were like double the price. INSANITY!
