Well, I can finally say im happy with how my Tahoe looks. Bought some 22's today off craigslist today and I couldn't be happier with them. They are 22x9.5 DOA Toe Tag's on 305 Toyo Proxes. No dents, pitting, curb rash or anything. 2 of the tires got a decent amount of meat, while the other 2 are just ok. Got them put on by a buddy of the guy's, and also got a new valve stem in one tire. Got the locking lugs too before I went to pick em up.

The rims retail for $500 a piece online. I bought them for $550 plus my crappy Discoverer's on beat up stock rims. I still can't believe the deal I got, the guy dropped over 3 grand on them a couple years ago he told me.

They also came with dust covers which is exactly what I wanted. They are chrome though so I decided to not put them on and im gonna paint them white over the next couple days and then put em on.

Could be just me but I think that dueces are too small for a hoe. They look almost childlike on there. But hey whatever you like right. The not so fun part is gonna be putting tires on them. The front 2 look shot in the pictures. Better address that rust too on the body. Good deal on em though

They look pretty good, just fix that rust on the door panels like biggwaukegan, that could turn ugly.

I was set to go with a set of 24's and was told that they create a lot of front end problems on these trucks. Mechanic actually said go no bigger than 20' but I can't do 20's on the dogs. Anybody know if there's any truth to this info?

You really think they look too small? I always thought 20's looked childlike, and 22's were perfect. I also like 24's too but I don't have an extra grand or so to spend lol.

And yeah that rust is getting fixed ASAP. I got a buddy that does body work that's gonna take care of all that, aswell as fix my dents, scratches and whatever else for $250.

Thanks for all the compliments though guys. :)

I think 20's only look too small if you go with a low pro tire. You gotta get something beefy to make 20's work. 22's imo work better without the extra effort. I WANTED 24's as well but wasn't prepared to 'pay the cost to be the boss' so to speak.


By the way truck looks right!

Well, ive personally never liked a set of 20's on anything, except for cars and on 33's or 35's or bigger. My dad has a great looking pair of 20's on meaty ass Pro Comp 33's on his Hummer and those look great, but other than that 20's always look too small IMO.

agree on that too....

i have 22's also , its true 22's dont look small but they dont look big either..i got a friend with 24's and the truck looks hot but he says he has mad problems and the rims where crazy money, then i got another friend with 23's and they look perfect and i drove he's truck 4 like 2 weeks straight and no problem...but as for 22's i think they look good and the price on them nowadays are so cheap compare to like 2 years ago...so i say good choice and they look good..

Oh I planned on taking the side molding off a long time ago, just been waiting for my body guy to fix my rust and stuff and since he has a 3m wheel and has taken off side moldings before, im gonna have him do that along with removing the badges. Don't know if I want to take the chrome fender flares off though since my rims are chrome. Still undecided on that one.
