Newbie apologies in advance. I have been looking for replacements for the original, peeling chrome, leaking air 20" wheels on my 2013 Yukon. I found a set of 20x9Jx27 locally and know the lug pattern matches but I'm unsure about offsets, backspacing, etc. Will these wheels work without needing to do anything else? Will I be able to run 275 55 20s without needing anything else?

What wheels do you have now? Are they OE?

Any chance of getting a pic of the backside to see what the size and offset is on the ones you have now?

A picture is a challenge right now. They are original though, I believe they are 20x8.5Jx31

Regarding wheel/tire combinations that will fit your truck without rubbing, no 2 trucks and their suspensions are exactly alike, due to a number of factors including accumulated wear on the suspension components, so there is no guarantee that what fits with no rubbing on one truck will automatically fit with no rubbing on your truck. Other folks' experiences can guide you in one direction or another, but the final test will be when you mount the wheel/tire combination on your own truck.

To assist you in getting a good idea on whether or not specific alternate wheel/tire combinations 'may' fit your truck with no rubbing, I recommend that you use the wheel/tire comparison app at the URL listed below. You can use this app starting with your existing wheel/tire combination as a benchmark, assuming that there are currently no rubbing issues with it, and measure the actual critical fender and suspension component clearances as directed by this app. Then, you can enter alternate wheel/tire combinations, and this app will give you the projected changes in these critical fender and suspension component clearances.

https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/

I used this app for determining whether on not I could use my current alternate wheel/tire combination, and it accurately projected the changes in critical clearances. Again, the use of this app in not an absolute guarantee that an alternate wheel/tire combination will fit without rubbing, but it provides a much better assessment, or projection, than simply an educated guess on your part, or a statement from others that it worked on a truck other than yours.

I was also going to suggest looking at https://www.wheel-size.com/

Before ordering my new wheels and tires I got out the trusty level to put against the fender to see exactly what offset and wheel width I want. Took a bit figuring out, but it came out perfect for my particular truck.

Thanks for all the advice. I pulled the trigger on the wheels, dealer take-offs from a 2020 Tahoe, less than 100 miles. Now just need to find the best tires to put on them...and GMC center caps.

Can't go wrong with Michelin LTX.
