Method makes some higher rated rims in LT tire sizes. 245/70r19.5 will fit the GM, but you may need tie back the fender liner up front or use a leveling kit to prevent rub at full lock.

I would be fine with modifying the fender, but I'd rather not mess with the suspension/steering geometry (if I can help it). I wonder how often rub at full lock will actually be an issue anyway. I suppose it'd just be annoying when I forget and try a K turn. I am only seeing wheels on Method's site not tires. I looked at American Force, but they only seem to have 19.5x7.5 and looks like they have the same offset as Visions, so they might rub. I could likely trim the fender and get rid of the rub, but I'd almost certainly save some $$ and go with the visions if I am ready to trim.
