Buying a new Tahoe and need help on level and tire sizes
Posted on 4/22/19 at 9:27 pm
Posted on 4/22/19 at 9:27 pm
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?

Yes they will fit
I have the same setup less the front level and they fit fine

I should've said new to me. The one I'm looking at is a 2017. Still way more than I'm comfortable with, but I'm not about to drop $60k on a vehicle. Great deals can be found on the newer models, but you've got to look hard and be willing to travel to get it. I've been doing a ton of research and comparison on the apps like Carmax, Cars.com and Autotrader for the better part of a year now, and have been using that in dealer discussions.

You running that size on a Tahoe/Yukon?
I've found a few people online who are running it on a Sierra or a Silverado, but I think the wheel well dimensions are different on those vs. the Tahoe.

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

2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade, and Cadillac Escalade ESV vehicles that may experience cracked combination transmission fluid oil and AC condenser coolers.
GM notes that these vehicles may have a condition where thermal cycling on the combination transmission fluid oil and AC condenser coolers can create a crack, allowing AC refrigerant to escape and subsequently deactivating the vehicle's air conditioning system.

Yep. Had to replace this on my Tahoe a few years ago. I have since bought a GMC Sierra Denali and have had to replace mechanisms to fix all 4 door locks at different times because they stopped working and even had to replace two of them a second time. In addition the door guards fell of because they did not glue them on to the door properly. Also, have a cracked dashboard because of the cheap plastic that they used on a Denali trim level. Also, I am on my 5th motor mount. Two motor mounts broke in the first couple of years but then they put a new hydraulic motor mount that was supposed to fix this known issue two weeks ago. The first one broke within three days and the second one that they put on lasted 10 days before breaking. Today they installed an OEM motor mount. Lets see how long that lasts. Bottom line is I will not buy another GM product. This thing has nickeled and dimed me to death.

Point is what it is. Don’t get butthurt when I point out an issue the guy needs to know before buying the thing.

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.

What size kit do you have? 2 or 2.5?
For some reason GM trucks and SUVs seem to be a mixed bag with level kits and tire fitment. Some people say they experience rubbing with a certain size, while others will say they're running a bigger size with no kit and no issues.

Rough Country 2” kit. The part number is 1307 I believe. Bought off Amazon for $50.
