Max tire width, no lift/level

[olyelr]

These are two pics she sent me after leaving the tire shop.

The do look good, not ballooned on the wheels. What kind of air pressure are they running?

She said the tire pressure monitoring system is showing them at 36 psi.

I just put on 33x12.5 with no level or lift. Had to do a little bit of trimming to pull the liner back. It rubs a little still but not a big deal. Wheels are -12 offset.

Thanks for the info

Looks good! Can we get a full rear ground level picture to see the width?

Sorry, kinda crappy pics as it was snowing….

They definitely do not look too wide for the wheels or out of place. Looks legit like it could be an oem size to me.

Great job and look!

I love the way those look on your Tahoe High Country. You got me thinking about doing the same on my Yukon Denali. Mine has air ride though and its pretty active. Anyone out there know if 305/45r22 works on a 2021 Tahoe/Yukon with air ride without any rubbing?

What is the max tire width for the stock 20" wheels without rubbing? With spacer?

Well, a 305 definitely worked in my case (with a 22” wheel, but that shouldn't matter). I think a 12.5” would be cutting it close for sure.

What do you mean by spacer…as in wheel spacer, or leveling spacer?

The only issue I could see slight rubbing with is possibly when down in the lowest/parked mode. Otherwise it seems like the air ride models almost sit a bit higher for the most part, at least when driving.

They just look like a stock sized tire to me almost…

Wheel spacer.

Wheel spacer.

In most cases, wheel spacers will make it rub worse.

Thinking of going 305/55r20 thoughts ? Is that too tall for stock with air ride

Not necessarily. But that will be nip tuckin’ it for sure. I would guess minor rubbing on the felt fender liner at most.

I am testing out the 275/50R/22 on my 22 Z71. Dealer installation. Tech said he would mount the two fronts, take it for a quick test drive with some turns of course. After that ride he will advise if there is any rubbing. If not, then he will install rear tires and call it a day. Some offset and tire size calculators seem to indicate negligible difference in width, height etc……says actual speed will be approximately .5 MPH UNDER Indicated. The wheels are a OEM replica set that was for my 21 Premier…….Same rim pattern just Black instead of Polished Aluminum. I am suspecting that even if the Z71 didn’t have a 22’ Option trims did. It is not like I am just making up a size. I don’t want any rubbing so if the 22” option doesn’t fit then back to the 20’s.

Hmmmm, well that is factory oem size…why wouldn't they fit?

If you go with this setup please post in thread if you have any issues. My Z71 does not have adjustable air ride height.
