Ean isn't around much any more so I'll try to answer your questions.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'tahoe fitment in24s' ... there are no oem 24" wheels but a great many choices in aftermarket 24s. Here's the ones I had with a 2/3 drop:
No issues with balancing or vibrations, but i had hubcentric rings on them just in case. Not the most comfortable ride tho. The only times I heard of vibration in heavy rain is with three piece wheels and it depends on the model.
Going from 18" aluminum wheels to 24s is going to cost you a mpg here and there.

Glad I saw this I have an 08 hyrbid and been wanting to upgrade the wheels. I was going to go with 24's but I've been reading that lots of people have problems with brakes, the way it rides, etc. So I decided I will go with 22's. But my question is did changing the wheels mess anything up on your hybrid? Also did it void any warranties. I really want to know this from a hybrid owner. I figure you would know best. Thank you very much for you time and answers.
22s won't affect anything other than a very slightly stiffer ride, slightly longer brake distance, and slightly worse mpg ... wall well within acceptable tolerances, especially since the Denali and Escalade Hybrids come with 22s stock.
Were you thinking OEM 22s or aftermarket?

On a side note Soulsea this may be a stupid question but I really have no clue. Does the hybrid have exit lighting like when you open the door do the inside lights come on? Mine doesn't come one so I'm thinking there could be something wrong. I have to turn them on manually. I messed with setting and could not fix anything, so is going to the dealer on Friday. I figure I will ask. I will post pics later on my ride see what you guys think.

No, as long as they are quality aftermarket wheels that don't weigh a ton it won't be an issue. Some dealers are shifty and will try to lie their way out of warranty work, blaming all sorts of stuff that's unrelated to the problem ... the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act is very clear, a dealer has to prove clear and direct causality between the failed component and the aftermarket part in order to rightfully deny warranty work.
You'll be ok.

There's a dome off button either right above or right below the little knob that pops out to adjust dome light intensity.
You'll be ok.

Thank you for your answers big help. I need to push that dome button right? I did no lights they all come on if I turn the dome all the way. On my older yukon I open the doors and the lights come on automatically. Just wondering if the tahoe works the same I think it should but I'm not sure? Thanks again. Sorry to high jack the thread. I should make a new one about the lights.
Yes it works the same way, all the dome lights should come on when you open the door, or when you use your remote to unlock the truck, or when you turn off the engine and pull the key from the ignition, unless you've disabled them through that switch, or have disabled each one individually through their own ceiling switch.
