I love the look of my Suburban now!

So how does the wife like "your" Suburban now?

No info/opinion on the 5100s. I asked on an RV forum, and the almost unanimous answer was the 4600. I like them. Eliminated the float/bounce from the suspension, especially when towing.

I do believe you have to buy different part numbers for the front and rear.

73shark - She likes it a lot! The bigger win for me is that my 8 and 10 year old boys think the Burb is now the 'coolest car around'. Ha.

Revival of an old thread. I have a 2010 2500 Suburban. Looking to replace the 16s. Can anyone post which wheel/tire combos they used?

I was worried about getting the tires stolen off the truck, wanted something different with the factory look. I have seen 20"s on a 3/4 ton, with the different keys. Hope this helps!

Hi Zold1, can you tell me what size tires you have on those 17's?
