I have a 2008 Chevy Tahoe RWD with a 2” RC front leveling kit. I recently purchased some 20x9 wheels and wanted to know what the biggest A/T tire size I can fit with out having to trim or rub. Been getting conflicting opinions between the 305/55, 305/50 and 295/65s. Thanks in advance.

295/65 is a 35". You're not fitting that on a 2" level.

The 305/55 is 33.2". You could probably do it with a little massaging of the liners. Or maybe a little trim. 305 is pretty wide, and that's what will make it rub.

305/50 is 32" and should definitely fit with a 2" level

Thanks for the response. I think I’m gonna go with the 305/50. I don’t want to do any trimming if possible.

Here it is compared to stock size. 1.5" wider, only 0.4" taller. You sure you don't wanna go for the 33"??? Wink wink nudge nudge.
