(1) How do you guys think these wheels would look blacked out and used as a winter wheel?

(2) Is this a good deal? I can purchase a set locally for under $500 with Nitto Terra Grappler All Terrain size P305/50R20 with 65% treat left. I'm confirming that they are OEM, pretty sure they are.

(3) Will that tire size work on my 2011?

I appreciate your guys advice and opinions!

Anything blacked out looks a size smaller.

I would leave them alone or Grey them.

Seems like a really good deal.

Leave them as is-I don't get the big deal of 'customizing' winter rims anyways. If you need winter rims means you live in a place that you don't want to wreck your good ones OR don't feel like cleaning them in winter. What is the point of having custom winter rims when your vehicle will be looking nasty from all the snow/salt/dirt anyways.... :confused:


That is a great deal deal -less than 5 bills out the door--whatcha waitng for??

Or Grey PlastiDip them.........

I like where your heads at Lee.

Thanks guys for the feedback! If I do change the color, it will def be Plastidip Bc I'm thinking at the price, worst case scenario I can flip them. The price is what mostly caught me attention plus the fact that anything is going to look better than the little stockers I have right now.

Is this tire size going to cause me an issues? Reason I ask is I'd like to throw them on and run them until next Summer. So ideally it's not going to just be a tire that I only run for two months. Another option is selling the Grapplers and getting new tires but that kinda defeats the purpose the good deal I think.

This thread http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44190 was talking about it rubbing on NBS Tahoes.

:lol2: Yeah, you've kinda painted yourself in a corner on that one :D

Haha!

Another option is Goin with those in replicas already in gloss black. I had a coworker of mine that wanted new rims and tires and I showed em those with some toyo open country MT 33x12.50R20's and he immediately bought em lol. If you want some pics lemme know I can upload one if ya want.

I had that size on my avalanche when I had the factory LTZ 20's and it rubbed on stock height. I had the Nitto terra grapplers. It rubbed at full lock in reverse btw.

Honestly if you want better performance for winter and snow driving, it be better to go with 17s. They will allow you to use tires that have more sidewall and is better for biting into deep snow and slush. I run 17 in winter and the 22 in summer

Shit, that's what I was afraid of. $500 plus whatever I can talk him down has me itchin to buy them just bc of the price tho and then try to flip them.

Ok. I have the stock 17's on it right now and wanted to run a 20" rim whenever I'm not running 22"s. my wanting 20" rims was based purely off looks and me assuming the handling in the little bit of snow we get would be fine with 20's with a 4x4 Tahoe. What do you think?

I had Nitto 420s that size on my 20s and it rubbed a tiny bit on the liner ... mostly if I was turning into or out of an uphill driveway at a sharp angle.

ETA: Keep in mind those are street tires tho ... A/T tires might rub a little bit more.

Good point, thanks man.

I appreciate everyone's feedback. Looks like I should just buy 22's and keep my stocks
