Keep my 20" wheels or go with 24's

[Jaytizzle]

Put that money away that's burning a hole in your pocket and start saving for it. I think you did the tune already, right? AFM delete and camshaft? The tune is a great bang for the buck. The cam is a preventive maintenance issue with the bonus of more horsepower.

I'm not into wheels like most fellas are here, but I do think the ones you have with the KO2s and that new wrap and stance look awesome, even my children really like your truck.

Thanks man!

I only have a simple street tune done by a local tuner in Socal.

I've been thinking about going to a shop in Murrieta called Cunningham Motorsports to do the AFM delete and camshaft.

Haven't really pulled the trigger yet on that.

So many things I want to do! Haha!!

Some days it's performance...then it's looks!

Before I got my Tahoe Wrapped, it was performance!

I'm all over the place and some time very indecisive!

 

[swathdiver]

I'd say you checked the box on looks, now go make it fast! Half the fun of these is doing the work yourself, feel up to changing the cam? Any of these guys live nearby?

I've had a bunch of different sets of 24's over the last 10 years and will say some rode great and some did not. I'm super picky when it comes to balance. Definitely pay more for a good tire as it will make all the difference vs the cheap wanli ling longs and Lexanis. I have not had luck with Lexani at all they are complete garbage from my experirence. The biggest thing to take in consideration is tire shops in your area that have people who are trained to balance 24's. Doesn't matter if they have a $12K Hunter road force machine if the guy balancing your wheels does not know what he's doing. If they do not know how to balance them you WILL have vibrations that will drive you crazy if your like me lol.

Try koko kuture sardinia 6 or giovanna dramuno 6 they have a similar design like the wheels you are looking for.

Go with the 24’s. Just need quality tires. I run 24” Giovanna Duramo 6 on Pirelli Scorion Zeros 285/35/24. I have a 2” Belltech drop spindle and a 4” Belltech drop coil. MagRide & AutoLevel. Rides like a dream. It’s about quality tires and suspension. But you already know that from Offroad Industry. You get what you pay for. Toyo is Not the best tire for street. Pirelli is 2nd with Michelin #1 by far, and most expensive. I was in your same boat for a while. Coming from offroad wheels/tires to big street wheels/tires was a hard switch. But couldn’t be happier now.

I also want to add that I tow a 4,000lb travel trailer and a 5,000 boat with no problem on these tires or suspension. The AutoRide keeps it perfectly level. The Denali’s 6.2V8 also makes things very easy to throw around.

So I pulled the trigger and went with the KMC Slides.

I know...they are played out but I don't see them at all in Orange County and I just love the way they look.

I'm sitting at 1" drop up front and 2" in the rear. When I did it, I didn't want anything aggressive.

Now with the new wheels and tires, I love the way it looks how it's sitting now but thinking of going down another 1" in the front and rear.

Should I do it or just keep it the way it is?

It rides awesome right now!!

 

[Dannydevito74]

Go with what you like. If it’s 24 do that. If 20 there are tons of options. Why aren’t you looking in the middle? 22’s? Lots of options there too. If you’re worried about rubbing do your homework before buying.

What the largest possible tire you can put on a 2017 Tahoe with a leveling kit with the least amount of rubbing??
33x12.5 I’m guessing is impossible.

Glad that you got what you wanted.

I have 24" Dub Futures with Lexani Tires. I'm noticing more and more road noise and vibrations. I've had the tries rotated and balanced numerous times and I'm thinking the tires are complete crap. I also have a 2/4 drop, no spindles, no MRC..

 

[Nashoba]

I really like the looks of your truck now. I would not change a thing.

I aint up on all the Rim /Tire combos.. but for my money(or yours) I love the way you truck looks..... I'm in NY.. i think that would look great here but with the weather and crappy roads here....

How is the front dropped 2” with out a spindle? If it’s a coil drop, that is part of the problem. Get a Belltech 2” Drop spindle, OEM strut shock. That will help a lot! And the tires are always the issue. Tires get overlooked and people are always so affraid to buy a quility tire. That is the 1 and Only part that seperates yor vehicle from the ground. If you have crap tires, it’s gonna ride like crap. Buy Good quality tires. They should last 2 years if you balance and rotate. $275-$325 a tire is nothing and should be not overlooked. That is the cheapest upgrade you can do, Quality Tires! Go with the best and get Michelin or save a little and get Pirelli. Toyo is 3rd on line. That will help.

What size tire did you end up going with? Any rubbing at all?

Looks great. Exactly the stance I'm shooting for when my current tires (on stock 20's) need replacing & I can justify since I need tires anyway doing a wheel upgrade. LOL

Thanks!

I went with a 295/35/24

No rubbing at all and the truck rides great!

I bought the drop kit from Norcal before there was a drop spindle for the front. I replaced the Lexani with Nexen Roadian HP and the difference is night and day. There isn't too many places that sell or install 24" tires. Michelin does not carry a 24" tire.

 

[RadarLuv]

What was your original drop before new rims

 

[Wambliokiye]

So I have been throwing around the idea because I'm always looking for some change.

I'm currently running 20" Method NV's with 275/55/20 BFG K02.

I work in the off industry so I got these at a good price but it still gives off that mean, off road look with out any crazy suspension work.

For that last couple months, I've been looking at swapping them out for a set of 24" KMC Slides.

I know they are played out but I just love the look!

If anyone has gone from 20's to 24's, what did you like or dislike about it?

I'm looking at pulling the trigger this weekend!

If anyone has a set of used 24" KMC Slides they are looking to get rid of or want to trade, let me know!

Here's how my Tahoe sits now...

I went 24s, in mu opinion i feel the ride is smother. Keeping the 20s for winter.
