I have decided to sell some of my audio and finally get to work on the exterior of my Tahoe.

I was looking at 24's and noticed for the price I could spend a little more and get 26's. I could get the hook up on tires so I'm just worried about wheel cost.

I'm trying to decide if I should get 24's or get what I want 26's.
If I got 24's I would want to lower the truck, but wouldn't want to risk damaging something like an ABS sensor or something. If I got 26's I would leave the truck at stock height.

Questions:

I believe if I get 26's I would have to upgrade brakes, but could I just upgrade rotors and pads and be alright?

Most of my miles are freeway so about how long would tires last?
I put about 15,000-20,000 miles a year.

If I got 26's would I have to worry about my Trans and suspension components breaking are is that more a luck of the draw thing?

What are your opinions on tire brands like Fullway, and Dcenti?
Just as a temp. Set of tires when I get the wheels.

I would get what you want but your right on the upgrades as there all not required upgrades they are recommended. The cheaper route for everything is probably 24's but I would get what you really want because you will regret it!
EDIT: Never heard of those tires but what do I know I'm just 15:hands:

I was set on 4's and lowering. I saw those Concept wheels and was looking at the Chrome ones

But for $2,900 I could get wheels and tires and have some left over.
And my truck seems to be sensative so if I lowered it just my luck codes would start popping up.

I see those tires everywhere around here. I work outside at a Grocery store so I see a lot of vehicles.

For $2,900 though :biggun:

The price is right there with some 26's that's why I'm looking at 26's

True I would look at some 2crave no 11s dope
Wheel at a dope price

They do look good. I found them 26x10 with a +18 offset I don't know if that's ok or not?
I was looking at the Milanni kool whip 6 wheels I could only find them on eBay and they were a good price.

I actually don't know it is grey, but in certain light it looks goldish if that makes sense. About the same color as your Yukon.

I'll look into them. Thanks

Get 26s. If you get 24s you will eventually upgrade in the future.
I have used Dcenti tires before and was pleased.
I had a set of year old Gianelle 26s with Dcenti, TPMS, and lugs tires going for $2200 a few months ago. I guess most people decided somewhere in there head that it was not a good deal.
