Looks good, I'm wanting to go with the OEM NNBS 18" Z71 wheels and either that size or the 285-60-18's in the Toyo's for my truck.


On your fender measurements, how was that measured? Those numbers seem low..

I'm pretty sure those are from the center of his wheel to the fender.

Nope. Bottom lip of the 16" wheels that are on there right now to the bottom lip of the fender.

Have any pics of the wheels you're looking at?

Yeah, just like these wheels that JB had on his before he went with the 20's




I found a tire that sounds interesting to me. Its a Cooper Zeon XST. I've had good luck with coopers before, so thats cool. But the size is what I'm looking at. They offer it in a 285-55-18.

Those are nice looking

I saw some wheels on an Avalanche the other day that I really liked...they only come in 20's though unfortunately. I wish they made these in an 18".

I love the NNBS 20's that come on the new silverado's personally, but I'm like you, just do not want 20's. 18's are pushing it for me.

Don't recall if it was mentioned, but what kind of shocks are you going to run with your new suspension setup? Also, what brand of shackles did you go with?

I just bought new OEM fronts a couple months ago, so those are staying. I'm due for new rears, but haven't decided which ones to go with....haven't researched it at all yet. I bought the DJM shackles....they were on sale 20% off at StylinTrucks.

Wheels are on....not sure how much I like the tire size. The fronts look good but the rears look too small to me. What do you guys think? I do like the way the wheels look though
