305/50/20 on leveled 11' Tahoe

[BrigRides]

ello all! First post to this forum.
11' Tahoe 2.5"/1" leveling kit with new 5100 series Bilstein shocks. Pretty much all stock other than the 104k miles. (I drive the piss out of it!) Currently Running 275/55/20 Bridgestone. Tow every now and again.

Looking for a little wider stance and more tread.
Questions:
Will 305/50/20 tire fit without any major mod's?
Or 33/12.50 r20
Or 295/55/20
After researching the tire calculator I am still not clear what will or will not fit. Prefer not to cut any metal; reshaping or zip tie the inner tire fender I'm okay with.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post!
Cheers Brig

interested as well, I was looking at a 305/55r20, but I don't mind a little bit of cutting, it comes with the territory

Which leveling kit did you use?

305/50/20 will fit stock 305/55/29 is pretty much a 33/12.50/20 and some plastic trimming will be required.

295/55/20 will also require some trimming.

I also recommend 275/60/20 which is 33x11x20 which is taller but not wider. I understand wanting stance but that will require trimming.

I am also interested i am considering going with 295/55/20 but 305 look really good, Besides stance is there any performance gain by going wider?

Sorry for the delay response. I ended up with the Pro Comp 2 1/2 from 4 wheel auto. Decided for the Bilstein 5100 series because I wanted a strong shock for towing motorcycles and parts. When not towing they are a little stiff but Im ok with that.

Thank you for the info, unsure on the performance, was going for more looks.

295 to 305 is almost negligible difference. I'm pretty sure 305's are cheaper. I think only nitto makes a 295

check out this members thread. he used a ccm 2.5"/1" level kit and put some 305/55/20 tires on his. I believe he had to do a little bit of trimming. offset of the wheels would play a difference in how much rubbing will occur

i have the ccm leveling kit with the bilstein 5100's with 305/55 r 20 duratracs they fit but plastic trimming was certainly required . just mark where the tires touch on full lock and cut with a dremel not a big deal
