Wow, do you have any issues with rubbing? Visually it looks like its going to be a problem. I mean you plus sized the rims and you also plus sized the tires...

Thanks guys. You wouldn't believe, I went to discount tires and selected the MB SUV Bruzers.

The color matched the paint perfectly. I also wanted a 55 series tire considering that the low profile tires are for cars and not SUVS. Plus it will help for a softer ride, but still give you the handling quality.
As for rubbing, yes the front tires rub little on the plastic splash guard behind the tire. if you turn the wheel all the way in either direction.
Price breakout -
Wheels - $194 each
Tires - $177 each
Trade-in of my old 265/65/17's - $350
Lifetime balance and tire replacement - $26 per tire
Total with tax - $1490
Sweet deal considering they are 20's

It is Br1ck that has them too. There is a pic and link to his ride in this thread: 4th Gen Rim & Tire Summary Thread . Anybody with new rims please post up pics there so that we can have a great location to look at the different rim options.

I see now, in the other pic i couldnt tell that those were the bruzers but i guess the lighting or something in the second pic i can tell. Yeah they look great on that color and that is a hell of a price or should i say steal!

Wow! That is a lot bigger than what the store told me would fit and what Br1ck got, 265/50/20. The store I went to was a retail location of the website you linked. They said even going to 275/55/20 would rub if taken offroad at all.cbluerock said:
Are you planning on going offroading at all? BTW, I absolutely love the look of your larger tires.

I think these are 275/55/20's not 275/75/20's - based on the above 55 series comment and the picture looks like a low profile tire not a 75 series tire. A guy at the gym went to a 22" wheel on his GMC SUV. I asked him how he liked them and he said he wished he would of left it stock, said it rode like crap. Looked good and rode bad
Seems like a Hip/Hop influence, like they say different strokes :thumbdwn:Re:
They are 275/55/20's. They do rub behind the front tire plastic splash shield if you turn the steering wheel all the way either left or right. But as you can see, there is plenty of clearance for off roading. I didn't like what 265's look like. Basically a 265 is nothing more that the stock wheel width. Looks like shi_. Since I went with larger wheels, I also wanted to go with a little wider look as well. I didn't lower my SUV, that would totally defeat the purpose of owning one.
