2 doors are 10" 4 doors and Suburbans are 11's. I just went through that myself. Got all my new stuff through R1. Huge improvement.

My 4 door is 10s...

I thought you could go by lug count. 10s - 5 lug and 11s - 6 lug... Not sure if true, but its what ive been seeing.

I forgot about the 2wd's , I would suspect those are 10's, but my Yuk is 4wd and therefore a 6 lug and it has 10's. I would guess the general rule would be 2wd, 5 lugs and 2dr 4wd's (6 lugs)are 10's , and 4wd Subs and 4drs are 11, s. I can easily see there being some discrepencies out there though.
