new rims in the AM

[JubjubW]

So I get to take a nice long ride to pick up some new 15's for my tahoe
running on 16s ATM hoping to make my 15s my winter tires and off roaders and my 16's for Summer and cruising/towing

Few Pics for comparison

Current Rims

Current Stance


New Rims


Hoping they will fit. May have to pump up the back air shocks a little and possible put new shocks in the front to raise it...
Hopefully will get some side shots for comparison

current brand progressive

so they have 35" rubbers on them right now.... Highly doubt that I will be able to fit on my Tahoe at the moment xD

Will have to pick up some 31s

man 35's are big.. even if you did manage to squeeze them in i would highly recommend gears asap.

I have 35's on just a 3" body lift and stock rims... I have 3.73 gears and no problems turning them. You loose a little off the line power but that's it... 4 wheel low takes care of that if I need it

im mainly worried about not having a lift. But I want a lift that will drop the front axle too so I don't ruin my IFS

 

[SunlitComet]

that is why a proper lift at a given rise also drops the front IFS system as well.

And being in Redneck Country in Wisconsin, most of the lifts here are rigged, or they toss the good ones when they junk the truck because its too much work to take off...

For now I think I will just run my 16s until I can get some decent 31's. The 35's are no good anyways, enough to make a few trips down the road to show off in the summer but no traction left for off-road use

with my air shocks in the back I think I could squeeze em in if I pumped em up, but the front would need a lift to get them under
