Anyone have rims bigger than 20's?
I am looking into getting some 22's or 23's and wanted to know what the largest tire i could put on them was without rubbing. Also wanted to know how bad braking is after, I noticed a big difference between the stock rims and my 20's. Any info would be great.

My uncle has a set of 24's on his SS. I assume the wheelwells are the same. Yes, the brakes don't stop the same. Any bigger and they (the place he got them) would have recommend he get bigger brakes, but with 24's they said he was borderline okay.
At least he'd have plenty of room behind those huge wheels, eh?
I bet 20" discs would stop that thing pretty quick!

Good, I want to keep stock ride height just put some large rims tires on, I like the info I have read on the falken stz-04 want the 305/40/23. Anyone running these, they have a 50k mile warranty. I have heard that if your running 24's up you need a brake upgrade, 23's are just about there. Doubt drilled and slotted will do much by themselves, might get the baer +1 kit a lil later.

I have 24" Giovanna Abruzzo's on my 2003 Tahoe Z-71. The truck is lowered about 6". I had to trim a small amount of the inner fenderwell. Most of the 22", 23" and 24" tires are similar in overall outside diameter. I realize there are several different sizes though.

Go to the second page to see the Tahoe with the 24's. We love it. Good luck with your choice.

Here's my theory, I'm not sure if this is rightbut I'll post it anyways. I think rim size dosen't really matter it's the tire size. Stock tire size is 30 inchs (I belive) you could probably go a couple inchs bigger without rubbing. If you don't drop your truck you could get the Lexani Johnson (27 Inchs) currently the biggest rims on the market. The only problem would be finding a inch and a half tire. 27+(1.5 X 2)=30 Inchs. Also, another problem would be the fact that it's $1085 per wheel.

The 27" Johnson uses a 22" nitto tire.
