looking to get some new rims/tires soon but i want a set of aftermarket

steel wheels to replace the factory 16" wheels. im running 165-75's bfg at's

now so i figure id have to go w/ a 31-10.50 tire to keep the size close. not

sure on BS though. i want the tire to stick out farther than stock but no more

than1/2" out of the wheel well. what are u running and if you can get some

pice that would be great! btw i have a stock 4wd 96 4dr tahoe.

You can put 15s on OBS 4x4s, trucks anyway.

The Tahoes do have bigger back drums, but I don't think they will have a clearance problem either.

A lot of people here run 15x10s with around -45mm offset. They stick out quite a ways though.

That sounds about right.

 

I was looking at some rims about 6 years ago, and I have drank since then......So it's kind of hard to recall what I was told.

i got a set of 15x8 on 32" tires..i love them. lil' (i emphasize lil') rubbing. why do u want a stcok sized tire..they look soo small. trust me, i had a 30/9.5/15, hated it!!! but i sold those rims off.. the set i currently have are 32/11.5/15 and those are just perfect!!! they give it a nice wide stance, stick out about 2" total. remember, ur back will be 2" inwards compared to ur fronts. i have pics on my website, i think it is page 4. go check them out.

but i think if u go to Discount Tire, ask them what the best rim size is for u...

 

they should help alot!

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
