03 Tahoe first mod

Sour lemon, no doubt.

Found wheels on marketplace. Tires from Discount Tire. Put on a 275/50-20. Almost exact same dimensions as the 13 y/o factory size 265/70-16 that still look virtually new.

I’m running 275/60/18 and same, has the 31-inch diameter to keep the Speedometer accurate. I don’t know that I’ll ever upgrade to Dubs, but it’s good to know.

18s look good with that tire. I assume Dubs is referring to the 20s?

Yep “dubs” = 20. But I’m OG so maybe I got that lingo wrong. (DW laughs at me when I try to be Youngblood hip.)

Good looking wheels. Keeping the diameter same on mine was important to me too. I probably will stick w this setup but I see some smoking deals on FB marketplace from time to time on 20-inch wheels, I guess from folks upgrading to Dub-two’s.

OG has caught up with me too…

20s were big as I wanted. Looked at some 22s which look great on the newer body styles but just kept thinking they were a little too much on the older like ours…at least for my taste. The 20s ride super smooth and seem to have improved handling a little. Fit like a glove too. Hope that doesn’t change when I lower 2/3.
