Looks sweet, any idea on the weight of the wheel/tire combo? I'd love to drop these 85lb per corner beasts, they're killing my 60' times...

it sucks having an suv, every rim thats not ghetto looks good on a fullsize chevy truck, but i really cant decide on a wheel, especially under 900 a piece, that will look right on my yukon

$900 each will get you a pretty nice rim/tire combo. I got the 24's in my sig pic with BF Goodrich ($$) tires for just over 1000 each. You could get 22's or cheaper 24" tires for well under $900.

I've heard the centerlines are around 25lbs and my kumho's are something like 35lbs, so i'm looking about 60lbs total here. Not sure how that compares, but sure does feel lighter than the stock setup.

They say on their website that the 20's are lighter than stock 16's. So it should feel lighter.

I've got another question. I see you have 275/45's. Can you get a wider tire with that rim? like 50's?

You mean taller? If you are talking about a 275/50/20, that should be fine. I don't think you could go any wider than a 275 though, its only a 8" wide rim.

I got 285/50's on mine and they work pretty well. It's a little bit wider than I would like for that wheel, but it works out ok. No uneven wear or anything.

Thanks guys... That is a ton lighter than I expected. I have some wheels on order but they aren't for speed (22" Panthers with 305 Toyo rubber) , I'd love to try something like these for the track.

Truck is looking great Chevybuff.
