Hello im sorry if this has already been discussed but i searched and couldn't find a definite answer.
i own a 2001 Yukon Denali this spring im throwing on 24 inch wheels.
im looking at the u2-55 24 inch tire i really want the wide 305/35/24 tire. I measured my fenders because I think my Denali sits low and rear fenders are at 36" 1/4 and fronts sit at 35" I really hope they do fit without rubbing the offset is +30 if they do rub is it just minor? easily fixable? and how low can i drop it until i run into rubbing issues using the 305/35/24?? Thank you in advanced guys.
the other picture is how it looked when i got it looking at the fenders it looks like it was lowered or am i wrong?

I believe others are running that same size at stock height so you should be fine. As far as dropping it I think they fit as well just unsure as the amount of drop you can run

I have a 3/5 drop on 22s currently but used to run 295/35/24s and the only rubbing issues I had were when backing out of my driveway everything else was just minor and at full lock turn. My very first 22s had 305/40 tires and rubbed worse

Yes, they will fit.

They might scrub when you're flexing out the back end but other than that you'll be fine.

I run a 305/35/24 with a 3/5 drop. I only scrub the wheel liner; I cut that away with a knife.

I have 305 24's on a 3/5 drop and no problems rear rubs on the liner and it"ll wear through in the spot it rubs. And the front rubs on full steering lock. Feels like your dragging something in reverse. None of these are problems. And you plan on running at stock height so don't even worry.

ok thanks guys that's good to hear. Appreciate the help.
How about those measurements are they stock 36 1/4 rear and 35" up front?
With a 305 tire I get a bit more sidewall if I'm not mistaken correct?

Lowered or stock measurements?

Lowered, I'm 35" on all 4 corners. That's with maybe 2-3" of gap between the top of the tire tread and the bottom of the fender.

No, the second number (35) is the profile height of the tire; the first number (305) is the width.

I'm asking is that stock height for front end 35" inches for a 2001 yukon denali rear 36" 1/4 I'm measuring floor to fender which is what I'm at now and a 305/35/24 tire with a +30 offset will work right. I'm just making sure because once I choose that tire which is what I want I can't change it. I wouldn't want to buy it and it rubs to the point I can't use them.

Oh, ok. I never measured stock height- if I did, I probably didn't write it down when I did my drop kit. So, I can't help you out there. Sorry.

Yeah, you'll be fine with that offset and tire size. I think my wheels are a +31 offset and I barely rub the wheel well liner. The good thing is that if you do scrub the wheel well liner, just take a sharp knife to cut out where you're rubbing or a heat gun to it mold it into a different position.

I think I want 26" instead they just look so much better...
Does anyone have 305/30/26 will that rub too much?
My front fenders measure 35 inches from ground to fender
Is there like a rule to know if it will fit like say if your fender is xx inches a xx wheel will fit?
It's hard for me to know because who ever owned my denali before lowered it I took it to the shop and they raised it to 35" floor to fender..
All help appreciated

HEADS up my buddy went on his 24s to 26s and said the stopping is horrible now and will be selling the 26s. way to heavy. If he sells i will list them on here since he put the 24s back on 3 days later.
