Okay, searched and didn't find much in terms of results. I'm looking for 275/65r20 on a leveled NNBS Yukon/Tahoe. I've long considered 305/55 and still will but in terms of price, I feel like I might be able to get off cheaper with 275/65 and I need the back up plan. Looking at aggressive all terrains (Duratrac, KO2, Cooper S/T Maxx, Toyo AT2, etc.) Pics of a leveled setup with 275/65r20 or similar would be a big help. Truck pic below.

I'm leveled with 275/60/20 (33x11). I like it but I want wider tires. 275/65/20 would look goofy and might have firment issues. If I had to do it again I would go 305/55/20 or 295/55/20

If running stock rims 305 on a level will rub the sway bar. The 275/65 are tall but skinny however weigh a lot more and need higher air pressure to carry same load of stock 275/55. Makes the ride harsh. I would go with a 295/55 or 275/60 for the choice.

There's no way you're going to fit a 275/65 with just a level. I have 275/60's and they only clear by a cunthair

If you do a 1.5" leveling kit to bring the front up level with the rear, it's a tight fit for 275/60's which is a 33" tire. If you do the 2.5" front and 1" rear they will fit fine, and you might be able to tuck the 275/65's, but it's going to be tight since it's a 34" tire. I've honestly never heard of anyone running that setup though

If I did a CCM 2.5/1 and wanted to do 305/55/20's what offset wheel would I need to avoid rubbing the sway bar?

This is the look that I am going for but with different wheels/tires. It seems they made it work with a 20x9 +1:

The 305/55R20 is a big tire to fit on a level kit. They really measure out to be 33.5" or you can search to find one that is smaller closer to 33". You could do a 33x12.50R20 which measures 32.7-33". I would still say go with a 295/55R20 which is 33x12. Those are a lot easier to fit. Still require bunch or trimming and fender modding. Need to trim the inner bumper brace behind front fender liner and do the small norcal mod.

As far as rims as long as its not a 305 on factory wheels it will clear. For example 295/55 on stocks no issues on sway bar. For aftermarket wheels you need to stay above 20x9 +25 and below 20x14 -76. Flush to fender or +1/2" out wheels are 20x9 +0 or as close to that offset. Stock wheels to flush fender is 20x9 +12 to +25. Big offset is 20x10 to 20x14 ranging from -24 to -76, no way will these fit on a level without major trimming.

Thanks for the Advice. I think I might just try a 295/55/20 on my stock wheels for now. There doesn't seem to be very many tire choices in that size though. The only ones Im finding are Nitto Trail Grappler, Cooper STT Pro or Toyo Open Country A/t or M/t.
