Default Tire recommendation for my new wheels

I just ordered 20 x 9.5 wheels see link below.
I currently own a 2001 4x4 Suburban non-lifted. What tire size do guys recommend? Someone says 295/50 is won't fit, others says yes it can. How about 285/45 or 50's?

A 295/50 will fit but I've never seen that size listed. If you want to fill in the fenderwell gap I'd say 275/55; 285/50's will work fine but there will be a little gap there.

Man, this message board is really good. You guys are consistent and thanks for the pic. I was told by hole in a wall shops to go with 255/ 50's , 295/ 50, some say 285/ 50's. I will take your guys advise. Also, I just had by rotors and brakes replaced with Bendix. Is it recommened to get bigger brakes for my wheel size?

295/50 is no problem, but hard to find size. What size diameter are you looking for: 2wd or 4wd height?

a 295/45 would also be great.
