If I wasn't doing a 5000 Mile trip this summer I'd say let's trade! I'm just south of VA Beach

It's not hard. Just go onto CraigsList and find a set of takeoff Z71 wheels from a 1/2-ton Chevy or GMC truck, or a Tahoe, Yukon, or Surburban. If you want Chevy center caps, get Chevy wheels. If you get GMC wheels, just paint the center caps to hide the GMC logo. None of these are going to solve your perceived problem of breaking the bead when you air down, but fatter 17s will be more effective in beach sand than 20s with low profile tires.

That's what I'm worried about. So many choices, offsets etc. unfortunately tahoes aren't that common on ep. Was hoping someone would have real life experience.

lol just look at all the Suburban-related topics. Same vehicles, essentially. Same options, rim sizes, too. And a lot of overlap with the trucks as well. You shouldn't have any trouble finding 17" rims that will work. The spares were / are 17x7.5

Looks like the rim's part # is 5299. Found some on eBay. Will post some pics once I have them on. Thanks for the help.

its only going to get worse because of the bro dozer factor. Every oil patcher, hillbillie and poser up here anyways wants 15" of lift and deep dish 26" rims with rubber band tires on their ride. So the OEM is going to follow suit. also, you will soon see the reverse rake, taildragger stance as standard on most trucks in a couple of years too. Something else they don't need to buy then!

Tons of stock wheels for sale in your local classifieds that are 100% sure to fit, too easy.

Let me know if this works... http://r.ebay.com/kavvN7. If not just type in Chevy 5299 in eBay.

They should work (check the specs against your vehicle), but why would you pay $140 each (inc. $25 shipping) for reman wheels when you can probably get a set of factory takeoffs for $300? Have you looked on CraigsList?

From a a dealer, with center caps. Private party would be cheaper.

Not your location, but these are everywhere.

those wheels will work without issue. I had them on my suburban for a while with no problems. I had to put them back on the ole man's avalanche as he sold his bling 20s again. ha ha.

That's actually what I have on my Burban now!

I thought you had a link for steelies...
