Re: '97 Chevy Tahoe (2dr/2wd) mild custom
Started cleaning up the Vette rally wheels this weekend. I took them Friday to have the old tires removed. The PO thought the front wheels might be warped, but I had a feeling it was just the worn tires. I had them checked while at the tire shop, & they checked out okay. I brought them home & began cleaning the old brake dust, grime, & surface rust from the back of the wheels. Turns out the rear wheels are 15x8, not 15x10's like I had been told. Not a big deal though. I'm just priming & painting the rear with Rustoleum rattle can, but I plan to have the fronts painted with a nice automotive enamel. Not sure what color yet, but I plan to wait until the pinstriping is done before making the final decision. Then I'll also get new tires for them. I'm thinking 235/70/15 for the 6" front wheels & 275/60/15 for the 8" rears. Planning on either BFG Radial T/A's or Cooper Cobra Radial GT's.
