Easy question. Will 15" wheels fit my 97 Tahoe?

[Chatchie]

Whats up everyone. Im looking to get 33's and a popular size seems to be 33-xx-15.

Also Id like to buy a set of Soft 8's and the 15" wheel is about $20 cheaper.

I wanna run 33-12.50-15 on 15x8 Soft 8's. This gonna work on a 97 tahoe? Or do I need 15x10?

Thanks alot!

One of the lifted boys will help you soon. Also, make sure you like the wheel because an $80.00 difference between something that's eh and something that's wow is not a lot my friend, make sure you're happy in the end.

Same wheel, just 15" instead of 16".

Also if Im thinking right, a 33" tire in 15 has more sidewall than the same tire in 16", correct?

I should also say that Im hoping 33's will fit with a block and crank. Sorry for the newbish questions. I have automotive experiance, just not with this type of stuff.

I have 15x8 Cragar soft 8s for the winter and they fit just fine.

Alright I got my 33's. Im about to order wheels but what should the backspacing be?

4" or 4 3/4"?
