I ordered these for my 07 Yukon Denali from Tire Rack and they are on the way. The last few days I've been worried that I made a mistake, they might be too big and look weird. I usually like my mods to be subtle, and only obvious to someone who knows better, like people here.

BUT I am encouraged because they look pretty good on LBSBLOWN's truck

I will post pictures and opinions when mine are on.

The rim is a 24 X 12 and the tire is a 405/25R24. The Rear lights are from an Escalade and the if I'm not mistaken they used a ground force 3/6 Drop. I think fastlane was the company that is making these Silverados with the LS7 engine.

What is the widest rim you can run a 305x50r20 on?

Well I got rid of my "pizza cutters" yesterday too. I replaced them with Yokohama Parada-Spec X.
Here are some pictures, I didn't get a chance to wash the car yet.

kick $ss tires aren't they, BTW on my Sierra I run the front tires at 50psi and the rear at 48 psi to get the correct wear pattern and contact patch.

Got any front and rear shots down low, and perhaps a picture of how close the front tires are when turned?
