Well I am needing some new tires so I thought I might as well get some factory take offs or low mileage wheels and tires for the same price.

These are the wheels I am thinking of getting

GMC - 17"


Here is a pic of my truck
Current wheels are GMC 16" that I stripped and Hand polished up..



So do think it will look OK?

 

i personally like the gmc rims you got now its one of my favorite gm wheel out there

 

I also think the wheels you've got now are better compared to those NNBS 17's. If you are interested in a set of OEM 17's, I would get the Silverado 17's like these:



Everyone seems to be upgrading to these but they sure look good, IMO.

 

huh, I really like the wheels I have now, especially since i took all the time to strip the clear, wet sand and polish them up. I guess I will just keep these and buy new tires for them. Now the next question is:

Which tire size to get, I want General UPH grabbers and they are available in the following sizes.

255/65HR16 - 29.1"
265/70TR16 - 30.6"
275/70TR16 - 31.2"

I am leaning towards the 265s

 

What size tires do you have on there now? What is the purpose of the new tires, I know you are going Grabber UHP--Which I will say you will love--but are you looking for a bit more performance? The UHP's usually weigh a little less than most so you should be reducing rotating mass a bit, and for a little more down low grunt, the shorter should help. Depending on what your current tire size is, I'd probably run the 265's. Its too bad they don't offer the 265 or 275's in the 65 sidewall ratio.

 

The ones I have on there now are 255/70/16s (the ones I bought from you actually, hahaha). The purpose is because there is basically no tread left on them so I just need some new one. As far as performance, that is really not a concern, I never go to the track, I usually just roll into the throttle. basically I just need some new tires. I am pretty sure I am going with the 265s. I think the 255/65 (29s) would look kinda strange with the big gap inbetween the top of the tire and fender well. All I have done with the suspension is drop shackles in the back.

 

how bout a new yukon 17"x7.5"?

 

The only reason I was thinking about going with the wheel I posted where because they were only like $200-$250 new tires included. BTW those Yukon wheels are nice!

 

if it were up to me between the ones you posted and the ones you have personally id keep your wheels, i love them ones. also have you considered denali wheels like i have? they would look really good on yours i think, the prices have dropped fairly low, i think slowec just picked his up on ebay for about $325 shipped which was the same i payed for mine on here. ya those yukons are nice... big $$$ though lol

 

Yeah, I like the denali ones, and I love the look of your truck, but I would still have to buy tires, and that would make it more expensive, and I need new tires so I can pass emissions next month....
