Best tire with CCM 2.5"/1" lift???

[UATahoe]

I am looking at getting the ccm lift 2.5/1 lift kit for my 2007 Z71 Tahoe. What would be the best tire size to run that would avoid any trimming? I dont want to be cutting off anything at all. I am going to be using a set of 20" LTZ rims. If i have to stick with the stock 275/55/20 thats fine but i was a little worried that would look a little small in the wheel well after the lift. Thanks for the feedback!

I think I am going to go with a 275-60/20 for mine. It is an inch taller than the stock 275-55/20's. There shouldn't be any issues there. I am kinda leaning towards the ReadyLift front only kit too. The CCM looks great, but I don't want to get too carried away, cause the LTZ rides so good now!

That is the size i was going to go with too. I think that would be the perfect setup. I am torn between lifting the front only or doing the CCM as well. I think i will like the CCM a little better.

I did the ready lift originally but got frustrated with rubbing and hitting ruts at the ranch so I moved to the truxx (same as ccm kit) leveling kit. It's a 2.5 f 1.5r I'm running 285 km2's with no rubbing. For deciding what tire you first have to decide if you want an aggressive mud terrain or a more mild all terrain.

305/55/20 are a must, you wont be disappointed.

Irun 275/60R20 for a while with just the front leveled and then I switched to the CCM kit with the front and rear and put 305/55. Looks 100 times better IMO. Go with 305's.

You got any pics of that...That's what I want to see.

I would say to go with 305's also, but I think that these trucks look great with a nice wide tire under them...even if you don't want the height of a 305/55/20 go with a 305/50/20.

It is a Z71! Put 3056018's on your factory wheels
ltz wheels on a z71 look like a repairable

The first picture is Nitto TG 275/60R20 and the second one is Michelin M/S 275/60R20 both with just the front leveled.

David, where did you get that work done for your Tahoe in new orleans?

David, as well is the front end of your truck the only part that is lifted and by how much?

 

[White07Tahoe]

I'm in New Orleans and I did it all myself, It was really easy to do with someone there to help. I know a guy that does good work by the airport and another good guy on the northshore if you really want to pay someone to do it. I would be willing to help out if you decide to do it yourself.

 

[davez71offroad]

When I first had my ready lift on I installed it myself but when I bought the CCM kit Delta World Tire in kenner installed it for me for like 100 dollars because I bought my tires there and I didnt really have the time to do install it.

Here are pics of my 2010 Denali with the 2.5" / 1" CCM kit with 275/60/20 Cooper Zeon tires

WOW that looks great! Are those the Escalade oem tails or the Gen 5 Eagle Eyes LED tails?

Man that makes me wanna get your lift kit and some aggressive tires... just don't know how it would look with the 22's...

I was told yesterday by my tire shop that with the 2011 Hoe, 275/60/20 would require alot of moddification to the front bumper and wheel well even with a leveling kit. I changed my order to 285/55/20 Nitto Terra Graplers with the CCM leveling kit. They said there should only be minor trimming and nothing noticable.

 

[davez71offroad]

Man that Denali sure does look good.

ckl- I ran 275/60R20 with just a 2in front leveling kit and had minor triming with thoses tires. With the CCM kit I doubt you will have to trim a whole lot with that set up. Should look good post pics soon

felixgun- I think you should order a leveling kit and and throw some 305's and call it a day. I have been wanting to see someone run this setup for a while. I think it would look amazing and clean.

I just might do that... Will the tires rub with a leveling kit and 305/45/22 tires? I really like the tires TXDenali put on...

 

[davez71offroad]

I dont rub at all after I trimmed everything and im running 305's. Your gonna have to take off the front air damn which looks better IMO and trim the black plastic in the wheel well. Should look good if you decide to do it

 

[Wakinvol]

Does that Denali have Autoride or equivalent???... cause I REALLY want to do the CCM!
