I am planning to lift my 2017 Tahoe. I am hoping to replicate this look. I know what wheels and tires are used here but don’t know what size wheel and lift this is?? I originally thought 18” wheels with 285 tires, but now I’m second guessing that maybe they’re 20” wheels... and my husband thinks 6” lift but I think 4”?

by appearance alone, it looks 6 for sure. honestly looks like a 35" tire on a 22" wheel.

for your sake, the 18 or 20 will offer a way nicer ride as the larger sidewall tire helps greatly.


update ;
i will agree with the below, after numerous searches it does appear to be a 4 with 33...

most of the ones i see i person around TX have a 6 and mimic this look...deceiving without the boards

That looks very nice. 4” on 33” tires I believe. If you look at my thread in “under construction” you’ll find mine with 6” on 35”.

My .02 be careful what you buy in a 4” lift, if you go that way. There are LOTS of lifts doing a half assed job with a 1-1/2” differential drop and stretching the front A-arms down. Which will ride and wear like crap IMO. Fewer doing it right with dropping A arms and differential correctly to maintain the original geometry. BDS would be one if the companies doing it right.

Disclaimer, my knowledge is based on my generation of Tahoe, do the due diligence of reading the installation instructions of any proposed lift for your generation to find out precisely what it does. Or have your mechanic do it if you’re not into that.

Have fun shopping!

Wheels looks to be 20x10 with a decent lip, so -18 to -25 offset. Tires look pretty wide too, would guess 305 55 20 or 33 12.5 20. My money is on a 4" lift, looks tall because the running boards are off.

Def a 4” sitting on 20’s with 33” tires. As nick said without running boards vehicles have the appearance of being a little taller.

6” lifts are easy to catch on the shorter body Tahoe’s and Yukon’s bc they look TALL af.
