Wondering if anyone has dropped a 16 Tahoe with 22's. Just wanted to see some pics to see if the wheels still look decent. For some reason, I feel like the 22's would look small with the bigger ass the new Tahoe has. Gonna use the same SS replica wheels I have on my 2010 in my signature pic. Thanks in advance!

Personally I think the 22s look small even on the older body style in your sig pic. The new body style requires 24s at least, 26s if you're willing.

I'm thinking the same but there are 3 big factors
1. I already own the 22's
2. Its my wife's daily driver. Need to put as much rubber between the road and the rim
3. Very little rubbing issues with the 22's. Fixed with heat gun in 10 minutes.

Gotcha. Here's Tony's (NORCAL SS) Escalade dropped on the factory 22s before he threw the 26s on. Think that's like a 2/4.5 or 2/5 he's got in these pics.

Looks pretty decent I suppose. :)

Damn! I feel like the 22's do look small under there. Not really wanting to put another 3 grand into new wheels n rims
Thanks for the pic. Was hoping Tony would chime in with some pics. I've bought all my stuff from him

Told ya, ha ha!

I bought a rear leveling kit from him I haven't had installed yet but I'm really thinking I'll get some spindles from him for the front and just do a 2/4.5 all at once. We'll see.

Still debating on 24s or 26s for the Escalade so I still have lots to figure out with my truck. :)

your truck 2wd or 4x4??

I would do 24s if you want to save money on some clean replicas.
