Operation Bigger Burban.....

[bowtiefreak]

Well I ran into some problems with the wheels, got two of them and they were damaged, two different colors and discontinued! I am now going with the ATX Artillery, 17x9 4.53" BS -12mm offset, should have them early next week.

what the hell. lol whered ya get them from>?

 

[bowtiefreak]

ebay, these guys had great customer service too. Rimzonline I think was the seller. $300 cheaper than other places.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

did they reimburse you or anything??

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

thats a little ridiculous with the color difference. i could understand the damage if it was from the shipping but still.

i like the artillery's, sort of remind me of a 5 spoke version of these 951's. (wish they were 5 spoke and not 6, think they would look better)

I like the rims man. Those look sweet and are going to look awesome on the tahoe! Cant wait to see the burban with the lift and wheels! Have you put on the rotors and pads? How noticable is the stopping power?

 

[bowtiefreak]

yup, got the rotors and pads on right after I got them. Stops better, the SS line that are going on soon will help also. But all those upgrades are to help counteract the 35's that are going on. Correct me if I'm wrong because I have not really checked but teh drums on my suburban look to be at least an inch larger diameter. The burban stops well for a small bus.

 

[raptorforme93]

I need to get some good rotors pads and lines soon. My stopping power suckssss

 

[SunlitComet]

the burban should have 11" or 13" I.D. drum brakes IIRC.

 

[bowtiefreak]

I thought so, the drum looks real big. I haven't taken teh rear wheels off yet to measure.

 

[SunlitComet]

Look at the drum through the wheels if possible. you might catch the max inner diameter stamping on the drum if the wheel is not covering it up.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

i would say 11. 14 would be more for a 12or14bolt.. 14 seems tooo big for just a 1500burban.

Just dropped the truck off for the differentials. Yukon 4.56 and truetrac!!!!!

 

[AtomicHoe094]

[SunlitComet]

I just got the mine back 2 weeks ago from the shop. I had my 14 bolt differential rebuilt with trutrac and and the front rebuilt both with 4.11's.
I wanted to go wavetrac but I couldn't justify the extra grand.... lovin the trutrac though. I've heard good things about their new design which is good because the first ones were complete crap!! muscle cars were splitting them in half, left and right lol

 

[bowtiefreak]

no pics yet. I got the new wheels last night, trying to track down some tires now. Hopefully by this wekend I might have pictures.

 

[Done Deal DR]

Awesome, looking forward to it.

 

[bowtiefreak]

soon....
