It's going to be a little bumpy with rubber band tires, but if you want 26's, you want it for looks, not for the ride quality. Just make sure the roads you drive on are smooth and you'll be good to go. There are members who have bent rims before.

Re: 2012 Chevy tahoe

They will wear out everything so fast....... brakes. Bearings. Ball joints...tires...... and ride like crap.

i had some on 305-30 tires with a 2/3 drop and it wasn't bad. GIB is being a girl. like nathan said, if you travel on a lot of sh*tty roads with potholes and stuff i wouldn't do it... but if the roads are decent you'll be alright!

I think GIB is being more of a realist than girl..?

It is new though.. I'd love to roll 26 with bands

I don't think the ride is that bad. I have never had a ball joint or bearing go out. I did upgrade my brakes, but it was more for looks :signs8:
