Tires sizes...

Asked by dewbers Nov 24, 2009 at 01:28 PM about the 2000 GMC Yukon XL 1500 SLT 4WD

Question type: Car Customization

Hello - I need to replace my tires in the near future... What is the largest size you can go to without having it rub? And what mods can be made without going radical to go even bigger?  I'd love to go a size or two over stock to give the truck a more stable ride, but need some help.  
Thanks!
Steve

What did you find out? I was asking myself the same thing. Maybe 285/70 R16 and tighten the front torsion forks to raise the front a bit.

I put the 285/70r17 on my 2004 gmc yukon xl slt and they rubbed. If you go this tire you will need to get a lift kit or trim your bumper and weel well. I went back to the stock 265/70r17 because I didnt want to damage my truck.

My 2003 came with 24" rims and very low profile 24" tires. They do rub on hairpin curves if I am not paying attention. I don't think the current setup will do to well on 3 miles of dirt/gravel roads and a creek when the rains come. A friend gave me a set of 16" rims and now pricing P275/70/16 and like everything else has gone way the heck up. Well beyond 'normal' inflation into profiteering amounts. We the people as always get the burden of prices up, income stable...or put easily; SSDD.
