Tire & Wheel upgrade

[tri94sbc]

I'm thinking of replacing my stock 16" wheels with 22" X 9" ones. Also running 275/45/22 tires. The wheel maker says they will fit my 94. My question is will there be any possible rubbing issues ?

Found a thread on another forum a guy running 265/35/22s on a 4wd and it's lowered. I would think you should be ok but be careful on backspacing.

here is the forum i found-

Thanks for the info. I don't want to lower my truck. Maybe raise the rear an inch or 2. I think the leaf springs are sagging a little. I might add a leaf to it. I just wanted to make sure if I buy the rims and tires, they would fit with no rubbing issues. I was thinking the standard backspacing would work, but I will check with the company I'm getting them from first.

I figured yours would be do-able since his is lowered and tires just a tad smaller. Let me know if you add a leaf!! I'm pondering the idea myself.

Thanks and when I do it I'll post it... I got a new job. Heading to SC for a week of mock up training, then west to Nor Cal for about a year. I'm driving out with my Blazer. With the new job I should be able to handle the upgrades I'm planning. YEE HAW

The company I'm working for decided to ship all the project workers' vehicles by truck and fly us out. Awesome !! I'm still not completely sure if I want to go with the 22 X 9 or 20 X 8.5 Tahoe wheels. I'm also debating about powder coating them gloss red to match the body color.

^ lowered with 22's looks pretty nasty. I myself am more of a big tire guy but I think 22's would look pretty ****. Do you have a pic of the rims your lookin at gettin? Rims painted to match body looks good in either white or black IMO, I would do chrome!

Sure. They are the standard Tahoe 5 star flat faced ones.http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Tahoe#.Ut2vLLQo7IU

ew, do not paint your rims red or any other color. black or chrome/ metal is the only color rims should be
