17x7.5 and 31mm offset
I always use https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/ to make sure everything fits. Just measure with your current set-up, and input the sizes you want.
the 7.5 should hold a 305 tire without problem
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Hmm. I'll think about it. Honestly I've been thinking about using some Soft 8-style wheels because I really like the look of those on NBSs.

Well chances are it's the Sunshield and some other shit inside affecting reverse. So COMPLETE rebuild here we come! New clutches 5 planetary, shift kit, and what not. $2000
Is there anything else I should ask for while they're in it?

no worries, I don't have them listed anywhere yet, but I'm gonna have to move them soon.

Have you priced out a new 4L80? If it's a comparable price, then you might want to swap to that haha.
@ATIII provided you can shadetree or DIY, a rebuilt 4L80 isn't anymore than what you're being quoted.

Just a few days late but Saturday I replaced my passenger side wheel bearing after realizing it was the front diff making all the grinding. I had posted already about doing the 4x4 delete. Well Monday on my way to work the driver side bearing completely exploded at about 75mph taking me for a 3 wheel brake less ride towards the ditch and my wheel, caliper, and rotor went towards oncoming traffic. Luckily it didn't hit anything and I'm good also. If the 4x4 were still in the truck I wouldn't have lost the wheel with the cv axle as a fail safe but it made me think. On the 2wd trucks there is no fail safe. Do not neglect your bearings. Now I'm going to be checking them all periodically. The driver side gave me no warnings as far as sounds or shaking so don't just wait for that to know it's broken.

^^ Whoa! Glad you are okay. That is some damage and thankfully not worse on all accounts.
