Hey guys I am gonna be throwing on a 2.5'' front and 1.5'' rear lift/level kit on the Denali. I am throwing on some newer 275/55/20's because my current tires are shot.

Will it look funny with the 275/55/20 and the 2.5/1/5 kit or can I rock it will I wear these tires out?

Also when I go to get bigger tires I am between 275/60/20 and 305/50/20. What are the pros and cons. I'm cool with trimming plastics, but the 275/60 seem a lot cheaper. Is the 305 worth it? any pics of 275/60's? Thanks!

here's a pic of Emann's Z71 with 2.5"/1.5" level on the stock 265/65/18 duelers and then after he replaced with 295/65/18 duratracs.

imo doesn't look all that bad with the stock tires, but def a big difference when you compare to the beefier rubber, you can be the judge.

not knowledgeble enough to speak about ur last question.

IMHO run the 275/60! Thay are 1" taller and ~1" narrower. I'd rather have a taller tire for clearance/looks.

That looks good! The stock tires look OK, but I would like to get the use out of them, since I won't get any money for them ya know?

People will buy second hand.

I know, but I'd rather get my money out of them and I just put them on...So i'm not on a big rush. I'd rather wear them out, for the price I got them for (super cheap) and get my money worth before buying $1200 tires lol
