I like your ride raptor!!! :High 5: that's what I meant when I stated that 17's were best on those rides. Perfect! :)

Ok, 17's i'm going to investigate then!

My tahoe rides stock, what kind of backspacing/offset should I be looking at? At most, I'd like the tires flush with the fenders...sticking out a little bit is ok, but i'd really like them close to flush.

Should my rims tell me what backspacing they are somewhere?? I have 12.5" wide tires and they are flush with the fenders on those rims..
