Aftermarket Wheels for the Telluride

[Batman3365]

Just ordered aftermarket rims, 20x10, +35mm offset. Should arrive in 6wks............Need help with tires. Was gonna go with 275/45/20 but now looking at 295/45/20. Not much price difference and it'll give me a wider stance. Anyone try this size yet? Would this work?

Based on this, not much difference between 275 and 295 so it should work . And i know 275/45/20 works based on several folks here on this forum......

I haven't run that size, but the 295s will be about .1 in taller than my 265/40/22s. Plus your running a 10 wide vs my 9 wide. Pics below show my clearances at full lock. Hopefully that helps a little.View attachment 15941View attachment 15942

So does your rub while driving and turning on different terrain/angles?

It hasn't yet. The wheels have only been on about a week. Those pics are at full lock and we rarely cut it that sharp. Normal driving hasn't been an issue. I would imagine that if you were turning real sharp and hit a bump that it will rub a little.

Update... It does rub when in reverse and cutting the wheel sharp. I noticed it yesterday when backing out of a parking spot. That's the only time I've noticed it.

Crap. This was the same size wheel & tire combo I was looking at doing.

It's such a slight rub, I don't expect it to cause issues. I only heard it because the tires were wet and made a squeaking noise on the fender liner. Others don't have issues with this tire size because all tires are not the same diameter... Even in the same size. My Kumos are 60k mile tires and are a little taller than others in the same size. My wheel installer told me that and I confirmed it on tire rack. You could always go with 265/35R22 if you are worried about it. The look of the 22s is worth it IMO.

Was just thinking of maybe going 265/35 but like you u want the 60k mile tires . Worth it long term.

Our S just arrived from Georgia on Tuesday. Picked it up last night and had to ditch the stock wheels immediately. After looking at what must have been 150+ wheels, I decided on Drag DR-77's in a 20x9 with +40 offset riding on the stock 245/50/20's for now. The 9" wide wheels change the stance quite a bit. And the Gravity Gray color is much more interesting in person than it is in the pics. It has a blue hue to it and with the wider, black wheels and new emblems from this forum, we have been elevated to rockstar status in the neighborhood. Lol.

Next up is getting rid of the new stock wheels that have 12 miles on them...the miles from dealer to the tire shop! PS. Tire shop had to order black lug nuts. Lame!

Did you have to run a spacer or anything with your 20x9 et40? I know a lot of people run 20x9 et35, but I havent seen many with the higher offset. Just making sure there is no inner clearance issues. Also, when I go to their site and select a 20x9 5x114.3 I only see an option for et30 or et38?

hey guys! I purchased the EX model and cant stand the silver OEM rims. Any luck finding any links to wheels?

I just purchased some Niche Gammas. Putting them on now. Ill send pics when on. Kept OEM tire. Stretched them a little bit since the Niche is a 9 wide

Nice. Post up specs when you're done if you could. I was thinking of doing the same thing for ours if the wife didn't want 22s

+40 shouldn't need spacers, OEM offset is +49.

If you want to go +30 it will fit, you'll have "poke" if that's your style. +38 is safe, that should sit slightly inside the fender.

You'll be fine with the +40, OEM offset is +49.

You just don't want to go too low, +30 is pushing it. I have +35 on mine.

Isn't the OEM wheel a 20x7.5? If that's true and my math is right a 20x9 et40 would be ~ 10mm further inward than a 20x7.5 et49. Offsets are based on wheel centerline. So, offsets on wider wheels aren't comparable to stock. Also, I believe higher offset pushes the wheel further inward. Maybe I just misunderstand all this offset stuff, lol. Bottom line, just be sure you double check fitment with your wheel supplier before you order. Audio City was awesome with my order. They spent a good bit of time explaining all this to me. Hopefully I'm regurgitating correcting.

P.S. ET35 on a 9 inch wheel is perfecto!

Yes, the high offset will sit inward more from the fender. Lower the offset more get closer to the fender going outward.

I have 18x8 +35 on mine and it's sitting perfectly.

There's a post earlier in this thread (pretty sure it's in this thread) that has this visual which I found really helpful:

I'll throw some more on with better angles tomorrow after I wash her

 

[manny6i9]

Here are the specs for the wheels. It's raining in San Diego right now for the next 2 days. I'll get her washed then I'll post more pics in the sun

Ok. Im a tire newbie as well. Only ever really bought performance tires before. I like the look of the 20" NF rims but really want a beefier/more rugged looking tire. What options would I have for wider and beefier tread without getting new wheels/rims?
