I don't know...am I the only one who thinks those tires look a bit puny??

Seriously, looking really cool! Nice work. Is the 4.5" backspacing to allow for the wider tires?

I knew I should have gone with the 54" tractor tires....

Yes, a 10.5" tire with the stock 6" backspacing would rub at full lock, according to rough country. Even going to the wider tire, the 4.5" backspacing moves the tire quite a bit out.

It's most noticeable on my tire carrier. The stock setup, the sidewall would rub against the round tube of the carrier. Now it's about an inch away from it

The Z71 stickers are even more appropriate now!

Didn't you post something about a friend sticking them on as a joke but you liked them?

You know, the more I think I about it, I think you should change the stickers to read "Z7100" because it is 100 times better than any silly, wimpy Tahoe!

I'm really having a hard time not dropping a grand for a 6" lift after seeing how yours turned out! Love the look of the boggers! I have 35" ssr's on my 82 suburban.
