Pulling the trigger on a new 4x4 Tahoe fairly soon. I'm negotiating in a level and tires, and need the OB's help on sizing. For a 2015-2019 Tahoe/Yukon, will 275/65r20 tires (BFG KO2s) fit with a 2" front level only? I've asked the dealer if it would fit but they're not familiar with it and don't want to make any promises.

I've searched the end of the internet but can't really seem to get confirmation one way or the other.

Anyone else running this setup, know someone who is, or familiar with sizing constraints? Will it fit, and is there any trimming required?

Get some Fuels! And a cool light bar. And don't forget the Fuels.

Set a grand aside when your A/C condenser goes out.

I'd be concerned about final drive ratio with that much tire under a truck with a likely high factory gear ratio in the rear end. 34 inches of tire and anything less than a 4.10:1 gear will make for very sluggish launches and significant engine lugging in overdrive at slower speeds.

I know it’s not apples to apples but I have a 2015 4x4 Sierra All Terrain Package that I put 285/55/20 on it with a leveling kit as well. Only rubs a tiny bit when I turn very sharp and fast. Not too sure on the wheel well size difference though.

On another note, I had to replace the condenser recently due to the known issues. GM does offer some type of extended warranty for certain years/models because they had so many issues with them. The extended warranty for the a/c system ran out at 60,000 miles. My issue popped up at 60,900 miles and the dealership/GM wouldn’t cover it but did work with me on it. Cost me $850 to get it fixed.

AFAIK only trucks have a rake to them that you need to level them
