305/55R20 pics???

Tires are probably the next thing to do here in the next few months and I am looking for some insperation to help me figure out what I want for right set up. I currently only have the 2" leveling kit on the truck. So 33" seems to be where I'm going this time around. I want a wider tire and possibly a little better offset wheel to get a little further out of the fender for a wider look for the truck. Anyone have a set up close to this that I can get a picture of? Also very open to seggestion from anyone with experience in this. This is my first vehicle that I'm lifting so just looking to learn a little.

Also going to be going with BFG all terrain KO2s

They are perfect for what I'm wanting to the tahoe to do.

3" lift in front 2" in rear. 305/55r20 Cooper Zeon LTZs on stock wheels. Lots of trimming needed.

0 offset max size on level is 295/55R20

This is awesome! Exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you sir.
Mind if I ask what your lift is? Spacers on the struts?

I am seeing now that I will have to go higher to achieve my tire size. I will also be purchasing aftermarket wheels. The "0 offset" you refer to is that the factory wheel offset? I need to go negative to move the wheel further out of the wheel well correct?

I appologise for so many questions.

The 0 offset is for aftermarket. You can fit 305s on stock wheels but rub sway bar and a lot of other parts. The 295s don't rub sway bar and easier to trim but still some hard trimming.

Yes wheels in a 20" size vary in width from 9"-14" with offsets from +18 to -76. The more negative the further the wheels sticks out but I can confirm on these front ends and 20x10 -24mm will rub on fender corners requiring body trimming and the inner bracket trimmed, maybe even small norcal mod with cutting on running boards if you don't remove them. So for best wheels on a level kit I wouldn't go deeper than 20x9 0 to -18 range. 20x9 +12 to +18 are basically stock offset. The 0 stick out 1/2" from stock and -12 stick out about 1". A couple guys in the post lift thread have -12 wheels, take a look at it.

So after looking around I am fairly certain of what I am realistacly looking at. 305 is just to much for me right now. The truck will get more lift in time but it may be a while. So its coming down to 295 or 285 wide. I am set on wanting a wide look but I dont want to cut half my front end off for it. A little tire poking out of the wheel well is ideal however not extremely important. So maybe a 295/55R20 with a 9" wide wheel at 0 offset?

Or a 285/55R20 with the same wheel

285 is a passenger tire so much less weight compared to a 295 class E tire, about 20 lbs a tire less. More weight = less mpg. If its not lifted on true 4"+ lift then 285 on 20x9 0 offset or -12 offset for more poke outside fenders
