That is great man, I'm so happy to hear everything is going well.
That's awesome Mean Green lives on while mine is now in TX :(. Ran into some bad times and had do the unfortunate. Though I still talk to the guy who bought it (its been almost 3 years), he gives me updates. Its now black on black and he's getting some wild wheels for it.

"Mean Green" is what I call my Tahoe. It's green and is mean when I'm behind the wheel - kinda like the Incredible Hulk. LOL

"Slow and Steady" is my handle (CB and interwebz catchphrase), adopted from the Aesop's fable mantra: "Slow and steady wins the race..." Changes/mods have been slow, but steady over the years - "winning!" However, I don't drive slowly, mindset is more kin to the Beach Boys' "Kokomo" lyrics - "...get there fast then take it slow".

I've got 17x9 wheels (XD Series "Addict") on Mean Green...I'm running the -12 offset. The wheel is basically centered, so no need for extra fender guards or anything like that.

Assuming you're talking about the wheels, you can see them here.
Assuming you're talking about "Mean Green", pic is attached.

Nice!
Is that three different sets?
You'll have to get your speedo reset for tire size or it will be off quite a bit with such a small tire.

No worries man, great minds think alike :)



Its like a sickness hahaha
Google "Stockton wheel" I emailed him a few years ago about widening my 8 lug rally wheels. He said he could build me a wheel prob even less than widening my stocks. Price, if I recall, was reasonable.

Those look like painted 454SS wheels. If memory serves me correctly, they were 15x8 rather than the standard 15x7 wheels.
