Was wondering if anyone has changed out their 22x9 wheels with a +28 offset and tires 275/50/22 and gone to an aftermarket Fuel wheel with a smaller diameter @ 20x9 with a +20 offset and a 285/60/20 which is about .4 taller and .4 wider. I’m getting conflicting results as some wheel places are requiring 3/8 spacers for clearance, and some are saying I shouldn’t have any issues with rubbing and no modifications needed even though I have stock suspension, with no leveling or lift kit.

Welcome to the Forum from NH.
Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.
I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.
Pics of the truck, please.
I cannot personally assist you with your issue, but other members of this Forum much more knowledgeable than me in this area will chime in.
In the meantime, though, if you want to do a bit of work yourself on this, you can use the following:
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 and different wheel widths and offsets, 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.

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.

Hello, thanks for the reply and the info.
This is what Fuel’s actually website mentioned with the info of my vehicle.

This wheel meets your vehicle's specifications and fits seamlessly without modifications. It accommodates OEM to aggressive styles, uses hubcentric rings, and may offer dual bolt patterns, all without altering your vehicle.

I have a 2024 Tahoe HC with the original 22” wheels and 275/50/22 tires.
I just ordered some fusion forged Fuel Wheels and sticking with 22” but going for more sidewall.
My tire shop is ordering 2 sets of Michelin Defender LTX, the stock size and 275/60/22.
He’s going to mount one front and check clearance to see if it works.
If not he will install the stock size.
I’m hoping that the 275/60/22 will fit as it gives me more side wall and tire is about an inch taller in diameter.
Should be in next week.
