Confirming wheel/tire fit before buying. '97 Tahoe 4x4 no lift.

[jeffjcalweb]

About to go pick up some very nice "take offs" from a new Silverado.... These are to replace the OEM 16" wheels and useless barely qualifies as "tire" on the truck currently.

The new ones are 275/65R18 on wheel size is 18x8 offset 19 and the bolt pattern is 6x5.5. Pretty sure no issue with the wheel itself, just looking for confirmation that the tires are fine for fitting as I won't have the truck with me.

Thank you!

Regarding wheel/tire combinations that will fit your truck without rubbing, no 2 trucks and their suspensions are exactly alike, due to a number of factors including accumulated wear on the suspension components and different wheel widths and offsets, so there is no guarantee that what fits with no rubbing on one truck will automatically fit with no rubbing on your truck. Other folks' experiences can guide you in one direction or another, but the final test will be when you mount the wheel/tire combination on your own truck.

To assist you in getting a good idea on whether or not specific alternate wheel/tire combinations 'may' fit your truck with no rubbing, I recommend that you use the wheel/tire comparison app at the URL listed below. You can use this app starting with your existing wheel/tire combination as a benchmark, assuming that there are currently no rubbing issues with it, and measure the actual critical fender and suspension component clearances as directed by this app. Then, you can enter alternate wheel/tire combinations, and this app will give you the projected changes in these critical fender and suspension component clearances.

I used this app for determining whether on not I could use my current alternate wheel/tire combination, and it accurately projected the changes in critical clearances. Again, the use of this app in not an absolute guarantee that an alternate wheel/tire combination will fit without rubbing, but it provides a much better assessment, or projection, than simply an educated guess on your part, or a statement from others that it worked on a truck other than yours.

I can give you 100% assurance they will fit. Why? Because I saw your other thread you posted later after this one, and had them installed and they look good!
