Hey what's up everyone, new member here. I am trying to figure out the best look/fit for my wife's 2014 Tahoe LTZ 2wd. I have already ordered a 1.5" Front Strut Leveling Kit because that's all I need to level the front with the rear. I am really wanting to go with a off-road style black/milled wheel in either a 20x9 or 20x10 but I keep leaning more towards the 20x10. What I currently looking at is the Black Rhino Sierra 20x10 with a -12 offset on either a 275/60/20 or a similar size tire. What tire will fit/look best? Also, according to https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/ the wheel/tire will stick out 1.69" further than my current setup. Do y'all think that is too much? I am definitely not wanting a really wide or aggressive stance, but I don't want them flush or tucked. Feel free to post pics of your setup so I can see some options! Thanks!

Thanks! So what's you opinion? Do you think that wheel/tire setup will look good? Do you think it will stick out too far?
To be completely honest, I am probably not the best guy to ask about wheel and tire set-ups, but keep in mind that your wheels are just shy of being flush with your fender. If you kick it out 1-5"+ further, you will be slinging road grime and such all along your nice white Tahoe.

I like the look of the rim, just not the idea of kicking your wheels out that far.

I lifted mine 2" in the front and 1" in the back to sort of level it but keep a slight rake. I added 1.5" spacers to each corner to keep the height-to-width proportions even. This was all purely for appearance and only because I had some mildly aggressive tires at the time. It's a 2WD, I don't go off road and I planned to lower it. Which, I did about a year later.

As mentioned, you will throw dirt, rocks and road debris up onto the paint.

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

^^x3^^ You will eventually ruin that nice finish on the fenders and doors, if you go with tires that protrude from the wheel wells.

I don't know for sure what the offset of your OEM wheels, but I can tell you that a 20" x 8.5" wheel will most likely allow you to go with a 305/50 x 20 tire with no rubbing.
