Ok. This is what I did on my 97 2 door. While I was debating on what tires and wheels to get I couldn't find a set of wheels that matched stock wheel specs that I liked. And 16 inch tires where kind of expensive. While trying to find a set that would settle in my budget I was replacing front break pads when a buddy of mine stopped by. He had an old 6 lug 15 inch wagon wheel in the back of his truck and I remarked about how I wish I had 15's because they where cheaper and easier to find tires for, while I had the truck up in the air and the front tire off I said to hell with it and took the old white rusty wagon wheel on my tahoe. To my surprise... it fit!!!! This was contrary to what I have read while surfing the internet. So I measured the back spacing, it was 4.25 BACKSPACE not offset the factory wheels where close to 5.75 I had a good quarter inch clearance on the caliper. So I ordered 33x12.50x15 Nanking MudStars for $588 delivers to my door from eBay and then ordered 15x8 chrome wagon wheels from eBay for I think $73 bucks a piece delivers to my door. And I bought a kit with chrome valvestems and those splined lug Nuts and then a set of 4.25 OD chrome centercaps from Amazon. I had to crank about an 1 1/2 inch on the tortion bars and I had a completely different looking truck.... and I liked it. The tires now stick out about 1 1/2 to 2 inches past the front fender and about 3/4 on the back...... let me know what y'all think.
