Default GMT900 wheels on a GMT800... pic request

Just recently bought the wife a 2007 Silverado Classic ECSB 2wd... love it... and honestly love the factory 17" wheels too... though I'm looking to get a second set of wheels/tires for it to switch for summer/winter to keep road salt from messing one set up.

Here is the truck:

And these are the wheels from the GMT900s that I really like:

I know I've seen ONE pic of an 800 with those 900 wheels, but can't find it for the life of me

I'd like to see some stock-height GMT800s w/ those wheels on them... or any other OEM GMT900/Suburban/Tahoe/whatever wheel on them... if you could indicate the tire size and if it rubs or not that would be great too! Really appreciate if it's 2wd too

you'll pay for the 20's, sometimes 18's are cheap but 18 tires are not, and the sizes are limited, very limited

there's an entire thread about OEM 20" wheels
Meh, the roads around here are pretty crappy... there are practically speed bumps on the highway where it's been recently patched(I75 both N and S near exit 44)

As far as I can tell, there are PLENTY of tire choices in a 265/60R18... I am not looking for a performance tire by any means... just something that will ride decently, handle some towing, and won't turn hard as dog poop in winter IF I have to drive on them in the snow.

And really I'm just not a big fan of the 20" + wheel look...


They need 42s+ to look good IMO:






edit: crap I missed the 20" tire size... I was looking at 50 profile... the 55s are considerably cheaper... dammit... though I still think 20s will look funny since I don't plan on lowering it.



And this is a pic request... I don't really care which other OEM wheels you have, I'd like to see them as long as they aren't something aftermarket!

Does anyone have any trouble with a 275/55/20 WITH TAHOE 20s rubbing or would I have to roll my fender?

Mine rub at full lock with only 2" shackles so i would say they would rub for sure on a 2/4.
