Just mounted new Escalade V replicas (20x9) with Toyo Open Country R/T Pro 35x11.50/20.

They fit better than I thought they would. I did have to trim part of the fender liner and the area of the trim where the mudflap would go. Other than that no other clearance issues.

Looks great!!!

...But for the purposes of this and any "what size tires will fit?" threads, I think you can't say that those wheels/tires "fit" if you had to actually trim away material so that there's no rubbing. Yeah, they fit NOW, but it sounds like they didn't initially.

Maybe someone enterprising could make a thread with a matrix of tire/wheel combo sizes with three categories: "Fit Straight In," "Fit with Minor Trimming," and "Require Major Lift/Trimming Modifications" (or something like that -- and maybe should include more categories that include "AirRide-Equipped Vehicles," etc.) And people could add their wheel/tire specs. Then we could get all of this info in one spot/thread.`

@KMeloney , I second your idea! I would love to see corresponding pictures of the areas that were trimmed, as opinions of scale may differ. Before and after of trimming preferred, but would be happy with a visual reference of end result.
