I have a 2002 Avalanche 2500 4WD. I'm going from a 16" tire to a 17". As a result, I'm going to need a new wheel for the spare. Does anyone out there know of a 2500 Avalanche or a Suburban that used a 17" wheel?
 
Note that your spare can remain a 16 inch wheel so long as the outer tire circumference is the same. Factory Z71 package comes with 17inch wheels and a 16 inch spare.
 
And to add to that if you're going to larger tire you can fit a full-size spare, I have a 305/70/17 Goodyear MTR there with no problems...

yup, I run 17's and keep the 16" spare tucked underneath. I don't think a 17 inch spare will fit underneath anyway. (I could be wrong)
 
I investigated the Tire Rack. They don't have just a steel wheel. I'm too lazy to go underneath the truck and clean the nice wheel that I would be using as the spare.

I would have bought a tire that would have had the same outside dimensions as a 17", but I usually do a 5 tire rotation..
