4x4 nbs suburban with 2014 gmc wheels what tires

[v3nom]

Just bought my wife a 2002 suburban lt and one of the main things she wants done is wheels and tires. I'm really liking the black 2014 gmc wheels and I was thinking putting some 33 X 12.5s around them but not sure if it will fit. It has a 3" body lift done by previous owner.

Here's a pic of how it sits now with 275/60 r20

And after color matching the grill.

The 275/60R20 are 33x11R20 so a 33x12.50R20 will fit no issue with a factory wheel since the offset will be high. Only concern would be tire to inner fender gap to cause rubbing. If that happens then you can add some wheel spacers to gain some offset.

Thanks man. I'm new to all the 4x4 stuff so I didn't really understand why guys are always putting spacers on there trucks. Guess that makes sense now.

No problem! I had the same wheels as you do know but sold them for my new ones. Those are Boss 308 I think and sit about flush with fender. So 20x9 with +12mm offset (guess) and factory wheels are 20x8.5 +40mm so maybe a max of .5" further inside the fender line. If you use a 33x12.50 you could run a small wheel spacer so it looks like it does now with the Boss wheels.

Thanks man. I'm gonna fit them with no spacer to begin with and go from there.
