Wheel options 99 Tahoe

[Rumbleyb99tahoe]

So I've got a 99 Hoe that I've got about 185,000 on, and I plan on getting another 100,000 out of her. Ive fixed just about everything I can to keep her running VERY strong and without too many odd noises. I plan on keeping her stock height due to not having the $ to lift her right (torsion lift was a thought, but not risking it...it's a daily driver). I would like to go with better wheels....WIDER wheels to be wrapped with a nice ATM. Any suggestions? I've got the tire hookup, just need some sweet 4x4 wheel suggestions. NOT something pretty that I'll just tear up. Also, I have the stock curvey 5 star wheels, and no center caps exposing the lugs and the center hole. Should I get replacement covers for now, or can I get away without them? I actually like the look of them without the covers.

Oh...keep the stock intake or go aftermarket? The "vortec" box part of the intake slid off the other day, and got me thinking about an intake upgrade for both a louder sound and better gas mileage. Keep it stock, or upgrade? Suggestions?

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Let's see pics of her, no suggestions on the wheels, to be fair I hever only ever bought one set of wheels and they were a partial trade with a buddy, my stock 3/4 ton chevy rims and old tires for his Hummer H2 wheels and Nitto terra Grapplers with less than two fuel tanks on them. He emptied two tanks in his 05 LLY in record time and decided to go back with the factory 265's.

On the tires, my absolute favorite for durability, looks, grip, etc. are Hancook Dynapro ATM.

As for the intake, it really depends on what YOU want to do, it will be ok without one, but are YOU going to be ok without one. In the end, recouping the cost of the intake is something that may take while, mileage gains will not be THAT noticeable at the pump, especially with prices what they are. As for sounding better? Yes, I believe that an intake and exhaust will make the truck sound better, and make you feel better because you have now customized it and that ALWAYS makes me feel better.

As for the rest of the truck, make sure to go through now and check/change all the fluids and filters, clean everything good, grease everything good and give her some new life.

I would keep the stock intake. To me, some aftermarket intakes makes no sense. The filter sits there exposed to underhood temps that actually kills HP. Stock box will suck cooler air from the fender well.
As far as wheels go, lots of nbs wheels fit. I luv the 20x8.5 Sierra/Denali wheel(5306) wrapped with cooper zeon ltz's. Staying with stock type wheels give u plenty replacements should u ever damage any.

As far as stock replacement NBS rims, SuperchargedSS (a member here) has a sale on them if I am not mistaken and has some nice options for like $1250 or so. They are newer stock 20's and 22's I believe.

I would check Ebay for new takeoffs from GMT800 or 900 Tahoes or Suburbans. When I had my 99 Tahoe, I got set of 4 new wheels and tires from a 2005 Tahoe on Ebay for 500 bucks, could not beat that. Looked great to me. For sure the 95-99 generation is exchangable with 00-06 ones. I saw few GMT800 with the newest wheels from the GMT900 so that makes me think that GM did not change the bolt pattern or offset.
