I am getting a new to me 2014. Not a fan of the steelie look and want to go with a 20” or 22” wheel with a street tire. Can anyone share their setup? Most of the stuff near me is 22x9 with a 285/45/22 or a 275/50/22 Will they work? From what I’ve read 285/45 will rub at full lock.

The only thing different on your PPV than any other 2wd Tahoe are the rear springs, which are a bit shorter than non-PPV. You can put pretty much anything on there you see on any other Tahoe.

My PPV is actually lowered 2"/3" with Belltech suspension, and I run 22" with 275/45 and don't rub at all.

Awesome to know thank you. Any way you could link me to the Belltech kit you used? Some of the kits look similar in the photos but are priced slightly differently. I’m guessing the most expensive kit ($1200 or so) includes everything. And I can see that the bigger the drop the more expensive but I’d want to do 2/4 at most.

752SP is the part number for mine. I believe I've got probably 50k on this kit, zero regrets.

So can I put some 18” Chevy rims I found (with 275/70 18) tires on my 2013 Tahoe PPV without the tires rubbing? Trying to make sure before I go buy the secondhand rims before the guy sells them out from under me.

That is very close to a 285/70-17 that fit my z71 model BARELY without rubbing or may have had minor rubbing. Its about .75 - 1.0" bigger radius than stock. When you crank your wheel, do the the front tires have a good 1" of clearance everwhere?

Wheel offset can affect things too. Bottom line, it might rub, but shouldnt be excessive if it does.

265/70-17 = 31.6" diameter
285/70-17 = 32.7"

265/65-18 = 31.6"

275/55-20 = 31.9"

285/45-22 = 32.1"
275/55-22 = 32.8"

20 x 10 +10 on 275/45 tires
I'm lowered roughly 4.5f and 6.5r and have no rubbing that I have noticed. Been on this drop for about 7/8 years now.
