lowhoe, who did the suspension work on your tahoe. It was very tempting to buy yours when it was on mautofied. I ended up buying a stock 2 wheel drive one the same color as yours for 5 g's 2 months ago.

I did the work myself. Any pics or plans for yours?

No bags on mine for a while. Planning on a 4/6 drop and 24's.

I know this is old but I sort of have some questions. I really like the 20's they put on the ltz Tahoes and subs. If I converted to 6 lug could I go with those wheels? I know that may sound crazy but I have access to a 6 lug rear end. And new rotors should not cost that much. Thanks

I think the center bore of the oem 20" LTZ wheels will need to be modified. (made bigger)
Please post pics when you get them on.

Need to consider back-spacing/offset as well. Might need spacers.

I think in this case, the best way to go about that would be by using adaptors, because the wheels are so positively offset. Otherwise, they are going to tuck too far in. I posted a link on the previous page to some that would work.

I had tha same thought a few weeks ago when i seen some H3 wheels fot cheap in CL. Tha one thing about tha 5 x5 is there is no stock type 16 wheel to replace them with.
