First time GM owner Suburban 2020

[Subanbur]

Hello everybody!

I’m a proud new owner of a 2020 suburban LS and first time owner of a new gm vehicle . I come from a 2 door coupe civic si for daily driving. I’m a father of 3 children and me and wifey needed something bigger and something that would tackle ANYTHING! That’s where the suburban came into the picture.

Now I’m planning in modding it a “bit”. I purchased a suspension Maxx leveling kit going for the 2.5 front lift and maybe the 1.5 rear spacer. I’m going to try installing 33s. I ordered 275/70r18 E WRL DURATRACs with fuel assault 18x9 +19 wheels. I’m having second thoughts on the offset of wheels, thinking going more negative like -12 or -13 for that concave look and aggressive stance. They guy at store said I’ll be in the “hella flush “ stance with the current set up.What do you guys and gals think? Am I on the right path to change the offset to a negative? What kind of “trouble” am I looking at to fit negative offset? Thx in advance.

Greetings from Canada!

Thx I appreciate it!

Nice, the only thing I will tell you is the big stance tires and lift will really affect your gas mpg. Try driving it stock for 6 months or so....

EDIT: you have 22 inch wheels, thats a special package.

thx I really appreciate the advice, I’m aware that it will affect the fuel economy. The problem is that winter is approaching and here in Quebec we need to run winter tires or hybrids all terrain. I don’t want last minute surprises nor run oem size tires to latter down the road upgrade to 33s which will end up costing more long term IMO.My plan is to run 33s right off the bat for the winter season and switch to my oem 22s for the summer.

thx I will as soon as I get the chance Boss!

here’s a pic of my fuel economy. Is this normal?

Welcome from Florida Legros!

Stock or GM Accessory wheels have offsets from 24 to 31 millimeters. Too little with a large tire and you'll need to trim. For example, the 275-65-20 tire requires no trimming with stock wheels and stock suspension height on K2s like yours. Plenty of pics on here if you look around.

Thats good mpg. The new engines are very efficient.

I ran Duratrac's on several Escalade's at my upstate NY home, best traction in snow and mud, horrible for driving on the dry street
