Looking to add a bit to the Tahoe when I replace tires. Currently have a RC 2" front spacer and stock rear on 275/55s will be going to 275/60s. Thinking about the CCM 2.5/1 but would love to go with the RC 3.5.

Any chances I can still get this into my standard garage? I have about 4" of clearance to the roof rack

Have to get out the tape measure, there isn't exactly a standard opening, I have seen them vary by several inches.

First of all you need to include the rim diameter for us to know the true physical size of that tire. Because a 12"-24" makes a massive difference in tire size. Thanks

Also as Yates said. The 2 of us have 9' doors. You may have a 7 or 8 Also depends if you have a lip at the doorway or are perfectly flat. I bump my door with my roof rack and just bairly squeeze in my garage with 6" and 35s.

Should be able to fit with 3.5 and 275/60 or even 295/55 but need to measure garage door height. My Denali won't fit in the garage with 7" lift and 33.6" tires, think the door is about 7-8' range. Would love it to fit but way too much costs in moving the load bearing header up.

You people refer to a width and height and leave out the most important aspect of the tire size and that is the wheel diameter. A 295/55 can fit on a CRV. Please start to use the proper tire reference to size so that people can accurately know the referred to size. We have no clue if you are running a 12" wheel = 27" or a 24" wheel which would be a 37" tire. This is a huge difference.

Thank you

Yes the 2.5/1 on 275/60R20 should clear if you clear now because you will only go about an 1-1.5" taller

Sorry. 20s, thats in my signature...

boom.

I have a Denali with a 1.5" leveling kit and 275/55's (lol) and it fits fine. I am closer to being too long than too tall in my garage. If I had an XL it wouldn't come close to fitting.





P.s. I have 20" rims.
