They are 305/55. Rubs away bar at full and I mean full lock. I've got to crank it pretty hard. I trimmed plastic behind wheel liner at the front, gave the rear of the front fender about 10 whacks with a 4 lb hammer and trimmed about 1-2 inches from the "sticky out" pieces of the rear wheel well. I'll get pics later.

Tires ride great, just a bit of hum. I noticed it because I was looking for it. My wife hasn't noticed any difference.

If I've lost any mpg, it hasn't been much. Maybe 0.5-1 at the most. Overall, very happy with how it turned out.

Nice trim job and looks like you got all the right places! How bad do they rub sway bar at full lock? Love those wheels too.

It runs but I have to crank the wheel pretty hard to get it to rub the away bar. I'm mostly unconcerned about it.

I love these wheels too. Probably my favorite oem wheel for these trucks.

New guy to the forum. Sorry for the all the questions. I'm an owner of a 2009 Tahoe and I plan to get the CCM leveling kit soon. Was wondering if 22"s with 33"s fit and if I should get anything else done while getting the lift done? Such as shocks, springs, etc. Thanks

Need to know what model of how, ls LT or ltz? Also any air ride? 22/33 will fit on stock offset wheels with leveling kit. If me would do 2.5 front and 1 rear on 5100s

It's an LS 4 wheel drive. No air ride. Minor trimming? And thanks for getting back to me.

Order some generic ebay 2.5 front spacers and 1 rear spacers then look up best price on 5100s. Install all them together and figure out what wheels you want then can worry if you need to trim or not.

Yawp. Will do. For the wheels I was thinking black Mavericks but then again everyone has them. They are a nice set of wheels though. My other option would probably be black rhino warlords. http://www.tsw.com/img/truck-wheels-rims-black-rhino-warlord-6-lug-matte-gunmetal-std-org.jpg

Was thinking about sum toto open county mt's. Looking to get that aggressive look. Tires sticking out bout 1/2"

Heavy tires but good wear. Lighter weight is at 2. That 1/2" poke might get some rub issues on front. Pick some wheels and we can go from that point

Before and after Bilstein 5100's. Front set to top ring Changed over to summer wheels. Sitting dead level. Was almost hoping to leave a little high in back. But I'm pleased

That stance looks excellent. What is your front fender height? And have you noticed a rougher ride at all since installing the Bilsteins? I can't recall -- is the bottom ring least amount of lift or most? Thanks man.

34.75 to front fender I think and 35.25 to rear. It is the top ring. They claim only a 1.75 at top rung which is why I selected. I wonder if it is the camber adjustment required that adds the additional. Not my specialty so I don't pretend to know.
It rides excellent. Strange on the highway smoother that ever. However Gravel road or gravel lot, it feels bouncier.
The wheels and tires came off a 2015 Yukon Denali New take offs with less than 20 miles. I ran them briefly in October and November before pulling them back off for winter. I've seen other wheels I like. Just haven't seen many nnbs with that particular wheel. Different is good
