New tires

[BeavOR]

Hi Everyone,

I've got a 2015 Tahoe LT and just ordered some replica 22s. I'm trying to decide which size tire to put on and I've narrowed it down to 285/45 or 305/45. My question is will the 305 fit without any rubbing (no lift or level)? If anyone has any pictures of the 305 setup it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Well I didn't get my answer so I tried it anyways. Very slight rubbing on full lock to the left. Interior drivers si

Hit enter to quick...

Very slight rubbing on the front interior driver side, but nothing to worry about.

Here are some before and after pics.

Looks nice.

I just got the 285s. What tires did you get and what did you pay if you don't mind sharing?

I bought the Pirelli Scorpion verde AS + after reading some reviews. Came out to $930 out the door installed.

I went with Toyo Proxes 305/45/22, paid $1,080 out the door, that was including the wheel install. So far I've liked them. Road noise and stiffness has increased but that's to be expected with the 4" increase in wheel size.

The ride is rougher but not as bad as my Ram truck or my wife's X5. To me the trade off of the great look is greater than the loss in ride quality.
