I'm looking to purchase an additional set of wheels/tires for my 2010 Dark Charcoal LTZ. There are tons of options out there and I'm really struggling to find something I'll like and that will be different than the OEM wheels I already have (chevy 5 spoke alloys).

I do like these, but can't seem to find them for AWD cars. Anyone have any suggesstions?

Also, I'm not very good with tires, so I don't know exactly what size I'd need - I'm thinking the 285/45 Falken STZ04 would be ok, but will that leave a ton of rubber exposed on the sidewall? I'm looking for something just a little less than the factory tires I already have...

Those wheel will work perfectly fine with an AWD car, it only says RWD becauase that is how that site list them due to offseet. Just make sure you get a +30 offset or higher.
Also get 285/40 rubber so the tires do not end up too fat, 285/40/22 is what comes on the Escalade with 22" wheels. I also suggesst Hankook, Nitto or Yokohama tires over Falken.

Thanks for the info, Modded.

Man, I can't decide what wheels to get - too many to choose from! I was thinking black since I'm keeping my OEM chromes as well, but my ride is the dark charcoal color and now I'm not sure black will look good with it. . .

I did some searching and really llike the Giovanni Dalars, but I'm not sure the black/chrome will go well with my dark charcoal colored Tahoe. Thoughts?

I've got a friend recommending the chrome KMC Slides for it...

Here is a shot of my 08 Yukon that is Stealth Gray with black 24's. The truck is more blue than gray, but it still gives you an idea of how black looks with a darker color vehicle.

jnking15, how far did you lower that tahoe? Looking at your setup, makes me kind of think about going with 24s.

Dalar 6's FTW!

Also, they don't make a 22'' 6 lug Dalar, only 24''/26''...the 22's are 5 lug and it's Giovanna

I have the Belltech 2/3-4 kit from NorcalSS. 2" drop spindles in the front and it is at 3" in the rear right now.

That Yukon looks blue not gray too me...

It is more blue than gray. GMC calls it "stealth gray metallic", I promise.
