Somewhat off-topic...Wheels.

[BreakingBad]

Being that most people who go for BIG rims like car audio also, some people here might have some insight..

I have an 05 Chevy TB... browsing various wheel sites it looks like the biggest size they offer is 22".

Now, i've seen many TB's with 20s, 22s, etc, but i've also seen NICE *** TB's with 24's on them.

What is involved with putting bigger-than-recommended rims on something like my TB?

Do you have to start cutting wheel wells out? raise truck? I'm really uneducated on this...any insight guys? Would i have to upgrade suspension?

There is an automotive section. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif I'm sure there are forums dedicated to the Blazer, and Trail Blazer on the internet that could really help you out, and even give you ideas.

i think u could squeeze 24s without modification. U might have to roll on some rubberbands tho.

Funny that its not true the other way around, at least on here, they trash big rims every chance they get.

You shouldn't have to cut anything out. You can practically put any size rim on a car You just have to lower/raise it. I'm not exactly sure about going bigger on tires. for the TB but from what i've seen on many vehicles I believe they just raise it up a little bit. You may have to as they said, go to a forum specifically for TB's to make sure. I've only been into lowering rides and not going any bigger on wheels. So i'm not 100% accurate on this.

Renesis is describing a "donk", you dont want that.

To properly squeeze large wheels under a vehicle while not adding a lift kit, it may be necessary to yes, cut sheet metal (wheel wells, possibly floorboards).

The fronts will be the hardest to fit large wheels, as the fronts must have clearance for turning. To find out specifically what you can fit without major mods, or what mods you need to fit specific sized wheels (24's), go to a TB specific board. And dont forget to use their search function, before you ask. That's a VERY common question.

^^ This one has a ~2/3 drop on it and it has 24's. I doubt you will have issues running them at stock ride height.

Inner fenders and the firewall are all that could really prevent them from fitting.

24s will fit fine with a 30 series tire.

pretty much sums it up.

also the OFFSET of the wheel is a big thing to look at. it will determine how much the wheel pokes out past the fender, how much clearance the inside of the wheel has against the suspension/frame/body etc
