Thanks Mike. Let me know when you're down this way, you're welcome anytime. How's the orange truck coming? Has Joe been working on anything new?

I asked Nate about the brackets when I ordered mine. He made them and I welded them on. I don't think he is adding them on unless you ask for them. I'm sure he'll send you a set if you want some.

Thanks Rob. Mine are already powdercoated so I'll have to make something to bolt on.

Some clips similar to what CPP provides with the rear disc brake kit should work really well...

What's everyone's thoughts on these wheels?

pcmcobra · 02-08-2010, 09:08 PM

go bigger!

smbrouss70 · 02-08-2010, 09:09 PM

I'm going to vote "no", simply because they don't go with the "could be stock" look of the rest of the suburban. Just my $.02

jmedero · 02-08-2010, 09:40 PM

I think they look good, might be a little to flashy for the truck. I think a Intro Vista or the twisted Vista would be awesome.

VA72C10 · 02-08-2010, 09:57 PM

While I like those rims on certain trucks, I don't think they do your Burb justice.

They look a bit small (tires too). I guess I'm just calibrated to mine now. 22" rears with 20" front seem to be the money ticket for these. That, or go closer to the stock look like 17" rallyes.

I Think both of these statements hit the mark...

I do like those rims but maybe not on the large bodied burb, I also think when 20's are used on the rear you need a bit more tire (sidewall) to fill the wheel wells. But then this is just my two cents, it's your ride and you should go with what you like.

I will say though, I love the brakes man. I have been looking at that kit myself and I think I will be picking a set up here real soon!

I agree. I was just trying these on to see what the backspacing would be.

To flashy for me,

. Besides, we wouldn't want to Burbs running around here with the same wheels,

Sounds like we're thinking alike....

These are 22's, but the tire is to small. I don't like rubberbands.

I've pretty much decided that I'm going with 20 x 10's (29" tall tire) in the rear and 20 x 8.5's (27" tall tire) in the front. The brakes are awesome! If they perform as good as they look, I will be extremely happy.

pcmcobra · 02-09-2010, 09:34 AM

wow, they dont look like it
The wheels and tires look tiny...kind of like that burger king commercial with the guy with the tiny hands.
I do like that wheel, but not on that truck, sorry Rob.

kvn1011 · 02-09-2010, 02:05 PM

No worries, I just borrowed these to check some backspacing and fitment.

Nice wheels, but a little to "flashy" for what I've done to the truck. I think I will keep it "simple" for now anyway,

. Here are the tire sizes I'm going with 295 40 20 for the rear and 245 40 20 for the front....

I was looking at the same wheel, but I was trying to get Billet Spec. to poweder coat the face of the wheel black. They kicked it around but decided that they could not do it.

My wheel search continues...

GraybealGarage · 02-10-2010, 01:00 PM

Rob,

I would maybe think about a 255/40/20 up front. I think it would match better with the 295/40 out back. The 245/40 is just a hair too small. Otherwise the burb is looking great!
