bigger wheels

I recently installed new tires of my burban which are BFGoodrich A/T KO but they're the stock size of the burban which is 15" but they look kinda of small I want to installed 18" wheels what do I need to do to fit the new size wheels and make the tires and the burban look bigger and meaner.

I think the 18 inch rims should be fine I think the problem you would have to watch out for is tire size. I'm enot sure what would fit under there personally I like 15s but that's just my opinion I have 31x10.50x15 and they barely rub my mud flaps when I crank them all the way but I don't know if there would be more or less room on your suburban or not I would think they would be the same but I could be wrong.

Yeah, its not about rim size, its about overall tire diameter. My 99 originally had 16's on it but someone swapped out 17's off a newer truck, probably like a 2005. They fit just fine and probably are much nicer looking wheels than the originals too but I hate the fact that the bigger wheels you get, the more the tires cost. New set of tires was $700. I think anything bigger than 17's is just too much unless you have really big tires, not a fan of low profile tires myself. Like if you have 35's or bigger, then 18's or even 20's I think would look fine. I know Dodge put 20" factory wheels on a lot of the Rams and actually for some reason on those trucks, they don't look too bad. Maybe I've gotten so used to seeing them that they don't look out of place.
