I keep going back and forth as to what size. Before my Tahoe I had an 05 TrailBlazer with 22"s and 40 series tires, looked fantastic, rode like shit.

Now I've got an 03 Tahoe Z71 Summit White.
Thinking a set of Lexani Advocate 22"s with a set of Nitto 275/45/22. Really hoping the better tires with slightly larger sidewall will wimprove the ride quality. I also tow a 25' Camper from time to time as well as a 17' Ski Boat.

So....

Opinions? Advice? Anything?

I'd really like to see some pictures of guys' truck with both setups, 20"s with tire description, and 22"s with 275/45/22

Here are the Lexanis -

Thanks Guys!!!!

Just a little info as to what I use my truck for.

NOT DD - usually carpool to work in Chicago, so most days the Tahoe sits in the garage.
I live in Northwest Indiana, with occasional trips to Chicago. Roads vary from perfect to literally worst road you've ever driven down.
Minimal amount of towing. As I said, I do occasionally tow the camper and boat.

IMO 22's with a good quality tire and you'll be happy with both the ride and looks and there will be no issue with towing.

yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking.

I would really like to see some pictures of both setups, but searches have come up less than enthusiastic.

I just dont want a stiff, ****** ride, ya know?

Looks good! No rubbing issues with the 305's? That looks damn good though man, looks like you got a decent amount of meat on those tires which is what I want!

No issues at all with rubbing. As you can see i'm still riding high so i'm sure that helps but i didn't lose any turning radius. I think 22's are the perfect size for these trucks!

I just put 22" Liquidmetal Wingmans on my Yukon this weekend with a Belltech 2/4" drop and it looks damn good IMO. I'm running 285/45/22 Nitto 420S. The ride is a little firm, but I have to cut the rear bumpstops off this weekend and it should get better.

Only crappy pic I have at the moment. I plan on cleaning it up this weekend and getting some decent pics. BTW the front hadn't settled down yet in the pic

I'm not usually big fan of the black with the chrome lip but your truck looks awesome.
