Hey Guys,

The time has come to replace my stock tires and rims. 2001 Tahoe, 5.3L V-8, no modifications what-so-ever. I'm at 4wheel parts looking at tires and rims, trying to put together a package, and I can't even get past the first page. Can somebody explain to me what the bolt pattern and gear ratio has to do with what tires I get for my tahoe? I'm not going to lift it, I just want to put the biggest tires on it as possible without rubbing, which I am assuming is a 32 or 33 inch tire, and 17 or 18 inch aftermarket chrome rims. Why does it have to be so difficult!?

The bolt pattern on your tahoe is 6x6.5. your going to have to look in your glove box to find the RPO code and check to see what your RAR is.
