For any of you guys you saw this thread, I recently purchased some 15" Cragar Soft 8's for my winter rims. Well after 2 sets of tires I bought being complete junk, I finally ended up with 2 Goodyears, a Cooper, and a Pathfinder lol. Tire size is 31x10.50R15. I've had them on my truck for about a week now and besides my Tahoe looking like complete shit, it rides great and will definitely be perfect for winter.

I'm almost embarrassed to post pictures of what it looks like since it is so damn ugly but here is how it will look for the next half a year:

I can't wait for spring because im taking off those ugly things asap and buying these in 24's:

Gonna have them painted white with a chrome lip and wrapped in Pirelli's. All brand new. Also putting on rear spacers so my rear tires stick out the same distance as my front, that shit bugs me.

The tires and rims are too small and they don't fill out the wheel well. It looks like crap to me. I need center caps too but they're expensive.

Your current setup makes it look like, well, a truck...which it is....and it allows the truck to act like one.... on all terrain. Slapping on 24's and crazy low profile tires effectively neuters it...you end up with a street going bloated station wagon. Different objectives..

Hey xBrandonX,
Is your truck lifted/lowered at all??? Personally I think the tires fill the wheel wells really good. I ask because I am looking for wheel well fill similar to your first pic, so the lift/lowered aspect is especially important to me.

I think it looks great with the Cragars!!! Just get some el cheapo plain chrome center caps and you're set.

Those 24s you posted are hideous!!!!!! :p

@moviewithnotitle: My tahoe is stock height. No lift or lowering.

@2 E L O: Any idea where I can purchase some cheap center caps that will fit my cragars?

For everyone saying they don't like the 24's I posted, im going for a look similar to Ryan Sheckler's Jeep:

And like I said, the 24's will be painted white. If I have enough money saved up I might even get 26's.

Wow the douche bag who did that to that jeep deserves to be shot and the jeep should be burned just to put it out of its misery.

He's a 20 year old millionaire skateboarder, what do you expect? I personally think it looks beautiful, even though it's a Jeep and that's not what they're "suppose" to look like.

He also drives this:

and this

IMO the kid has pretty good taste in vehicles.
