Default What wheel ofset should I use 24"s 2007 tahoe

Im in the process of buying some 24 inch TIS 10 wheels for my 2007 Tahoe. Its currently stock ride hight. In the future it will be lowered or bagged. Does anybody know what the proper wheel offset I should get is?

I agree

factory is 31mm and 24's are usually wider so get as much offset as you can find.

What do you mean by as much off set as possible? Bigger the number say 35mm is more offset? I don't understand offset and what it means or the benefits, sorry.

Offset is what is used when you are trying to figure where you want the wheel to sit on the hub. 0mm offset is when the center of the wheel's hub is right in the center of the rim's width. + meaning that the center hub of the wheel is outward towards the face of the wheel bringing the wheel and tire inwards to the fender well and - meaning it is more towards the back pushing the wheel out of the fender well. Some vehicles like most cars or the NNBS use high offsets like +30mm - +40mm. Depending on rim width and tire size. Vehicles that are lifted will sometime use -24mm on 10" wide wheels so the wheel won't hit the aftermarket spindle. Offset and Backspacing come hand in hand. All depends on what you know. Hope that helps a bit.

Most wheel companies only manufacture the basics unless you do a 2 piece you can choose your offset/backspacing for a perfect fit.

Generalized:
GMT700/800 - +14mm
GMT900 - +30mm

Remember this is only millimeters so don't worry if you can only find a +35mm wheel and recommended is +30mm that isn't even 1/4 of an inch difference. 25.4mm/inch.
