I'm researching some wheels and tires and was wondering if anyone has had any clearance issues as far as a little taller tire . I was thinking of 20x9 wheels after a leveling kit . Or should I ask the place that is doing the leveling on recommendations ?

Welcome to the Forum from NH.
On my 07, I'm running 305/50-x20 tires with a 20x8.5 stock wheel. The suspension has not been lifted or leveled, and I have no rubbing. The clearances are close, however, so I'm not sure that a higher or wider tire could be used without some leveling or lifting.
Other folks will chime in with their actual experiences.

I was looking at this size LT275/55R20 so a little taller than this.

This is the tire size calculator that I like, as it gives you the opportunity to plug in current actual clearances from the suspension components and fender for your current tire size, and then project/estimate those critical clearance changes for different tire sizes.

This works. It accurately predicted where my 22X9_24mm wheels with 285/45-22 tires would rub.
what is the offset of oem wheels?

thats the size i run on a lowered tahoe it did have a minor rub(as in it just touched the fender well) but with the fender well mod no rub at all.
i have 20x9 wheels with 275/60/20 tires that were on a level no rub, i also just took out the leveling kit and those tires rub a good amount even being over half worn. Haha.
