Just a recommendation you would have probably done anyway but have the tire shop spin the rim first before mounting tires to make sure the rims are truly round.

Can't wait to see them on.

Looks great and I like the center cap that came with the wheels.

Colormatch the front and rear GMC and lower the rear to match the front and call it good.

I just ordered the bright aluminum cap with red gmc lettering bc that's what comes on the factory ones and I really like the red for some reason. They come in Tuesday. I'll maybe change out one side and take some pics and have a poll on here...

Thanks man they do match well. Glad I went with silver!

No suspension drop... It's staying factory suspension. It rides so good... Not F'n with it. Denali grille and chrome trim door moulding ordered though ;)

Noooooo. I enjoy how it rides too much.

Wow.... Yes.... does look matched.



They actually look bigger in the HyperSilver.



Does need a drop.... I say a 2/2 though. :jester::jester:


I really love the hyper silver but they were 2-3 months from a new batch. I missed the chance but honestly don't regret it. I'm happy with these rims and love how it matches the color of the vehicle. And no drop but any other suggestions are welcome!

What size tire did you go with? Factory or smaller?


Nitto NT420S 305/40/22 that I had just put on my ck375's a few months ago.

Definitely not 2/4 but there's a smallest of possibilities I might level the rear. If I can get away with doing it without a certain someone knowing...

I think 2/4 looks too low. Way lower then it looks in pictures. I think if I did do something it would be a 2" rear drop to level it.

A 2 inch only look saggy.

Also drastic drops make the wheels look small

A 2/4 will makes them look like a box on wheels.

The nnnbs are too square to pull off a 2/4 with 22s

Do a 2 inch rear spring with .75 spacer.
