2021 Tahoe RST Wheel spacer v. Wider tire question

[4doorsmorewhores]

Hey all.
I'm currently running 285/70/17s at stock height. Zero rubbing, and it looks pretty slick(imo), however, I'd like maybe an 1"-1.5" poke from the wells.

Has anyone run 295s or 305s at stock height?

Or can I get away with spacers w/o rubbing?

TIA.

Looks good the way it is IMHO.

If you have the tires protruding beyond your fenders, you will eventually ruin the paint around these areas, with road debris kicking up from the tires.

What are the offset and width of your wheels now?

As others said, I think I looks great now and I’m pleasantly surprised to see you for that size at stock height. I would imagine they would have to rub. Could always get spacers and try. Easy to take off it it doesn’t work.

I love your screename by the way

I appreciate the heads up!

I'm trying to achieve maybe 1-1.5" of poke from the fender, but you're right, I already to a lot of touch up maintenance on the pavement princess

Iirc, -12? 9".
*Edit 0 offset, not -12.


To my very pleasant surprise, no rubbing.
You're right, but I'm very lazy.
