Mathematically, 32.10 inches on a nine inch wide wheel. Wheel offset is 11 mm less than standard GM so the wheel will reach 5mm less into the wheel well compared with a GM 22x9 and extend 17mm past the same wheel on the outside. Nice wheels. Those Open Country tires are well thought of too.

That's 36.07 inches tall. The wheel would reach into the well the same distance as a stock GM 22x9 and extend past it about half an inch on the outside. That's a 12.8 inch tire btw.

the shop is recommending a 285/55/r20 or 305/55/r20 I can't find any H rated tires highest I can get is T, I found 1 285/50/R20 H yokahama
stumped, now I don't want to be limited by the tires

cant find any tires that will do what I want so I since I already ordered the control arms I might just put it back to stock height and put on 2" drop shackles on the back to level it out like I did the 03, put some bilsteins on it and maybe some nice wheels and tires and call it a day. :shrug:

do you routinely drive over 118mph & up to 130?

you are looking at all terrain tires, 118 should be decent....in theory

its cali , not the autobahn :anitoof:

also listed as T for 285/55r20:
BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2 Tire
Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus

plus a few china tires, but i wouldnt trust those at speed

drop down to 50 series & options open up a lot more for H speed for both sizes
nitto, yoko, goodyear

It's been thirty some years, but if I remember my schooling right, the speed rating is given to a tire that runs at maximum weight at that given speed for one hour. Makes sense as I used to routinely hit almost 150 mph in my Buicks with S-Rated tires way back then. Never stayed up there for very long, too scary but we did routinely cruise on the highway at 104 mph, which was 0-boost on the gauge for the intercooled motors. Never a problem with those BFG Radial T/As. So that being said, occasional forays into the triple digits shouldn't be a problem. Couple years ago we spent about 2 hours at 80-95 mph getting to my daughter's recital after work and running with the flow of country traffic! No problems then either with the KO2s.
