2015 Chevy Tahoe LTZ SEMA build thread

[tylermcquarrie]

I'm excited to be building a SEMA vehicle using the 2015 Chevy Tahoe! We have some great partners that is going to make this thing look badass but the purpose of this tahoe is even cooler! What is the purpose? Well, we will disclose that latter in the build but here are some of the parts we will be using.

HRE TR107 22x10.5 wheels
Accuair Suspension
Performance Friction Brakes
AERO matte black paint
Magnuson Super Chargers
And some other stuff you will find out later.....

All the pics in this build thread will be with a GoPro HERO 3 Plus.... That might give you a hint on the project.

Here is the Tahoe rolling home from Capital Chevy in San Jose CA

These

and this

wont work well with a lift unless he is going to be the only air suspension lifted Tahoe with narrow wheels around.

i looked those wheels up and saw a picture with them on a raptor, so i didn't know. my bad. he also said something about a go pro so i misunderstood i guess.

I'm not aware of such a model number from HRE. Not sure why yates posted that pic.

Anyhoot, I'm sure the op will clarify soon enough.

 

[Neil Layne]

haha, indeed. i guess we will just wait for the build to start and see which way its going.

Look at the top.

The only HRE 107 wheels I know of are these:

http://www.hrewheels.com/wheels/series-s1/s107

... which are similar to the tr45 inasmuch as they are 5 spoke concave.

Not sure how that jives with 6 lug trucks so I'm also curious to see what wheels the op will be using ... also looking forward to this build in general.
