Hey guys I was just wondering if a set of 16" oem tahoe wheels I just bought will fit on my 2009 tahoe. It didn't occur to me at the time , but I bought a set of 16" 6 lug tahoe wheels as a second set for my 09 tahoe ltz that I would pair with all terrain tires . I'm suspicious that they were for 06 and previous models. If they are, since they are 16" wheels, do the have the same bolt pattern that my 09 will need?

Same bolt pattern but it wont fit around the caliper. You need to go at least 17".

This isn't going to end well. Just get 17's or bigger and be done.

Will these fit? 17" wheels off a 2012 silverado? Just wanna be sure this time, I got lucky with the other wheels, the guy will take them back. Any other concerns I should have?

Sweet! I got him down to $750 wheels and tires, he says they only have 7000 miles on them so it sounds like a good deal, gonna go check them out tomorrow. Thanks for the expertise guys,

Should I be concerned about offset?

Same offset as any other stock wheel.
