275/60/20 Questions

[domano 68]

Hello, new to the forum. Picked up an 06 Tahoe LS 2WD and looking to replace the stock 275/60/16 wheelsand tireswith a set of 270/60/20s.

The new set is a 33" compared to the stock 31". Will there be fitment issues? Thanks in advance!

Yes you need either keys or lift spindles

How much are we talking here? I'll crank the torsion bars first before buying new parts.

Crank the shit out of them but will probably need new keys

Why not just find some 275/55/20? They are a very common tire since they came OEM on all 20" GM wheels

I've had 275/60/20 on my 2002 z71 no rub and I'm stock height in front and like 2" lower in rear because I have like 1500lbs of audio in the back. It sits level though. They should fit no problem if you have around a 30mm offset wheel

Will be fine at stock height or leveled in rear. If you drop it they will work but rub depending on amount of drop.

Yeah that is a good size, 32" but the 275 60 20 is about an inch taller. I like the taller look.

I have a standard 2WD, non Z71 Tahoe. I assume your stock ride height would be different than what I have.

I have 275/55-20 on Texas Edition rims. They fit fine on my '04 Suburban Z71. I'm looking forward to the tires wearing out so I can get some 275/60-20 or 285's perhaps (which would look even better). I've cranked the keys and still have some ford keys to install. I also have 1" rear coil spring spacers... none of which were required for the 32's to fit.
