Hello All,
I am new to the forum and have been reading up on all the insightful posts, thanks in advance for all your help.
I need some guidance on putting wheels on an 04 Avalanche. I want a nice wide wheel, but not something that extends beyond the fenders. Looking for them to be somewhat flush is what I want. I don't have the fender flares (this is a plain WBH).
My questions are:
I like the 23s because they are a nice balance of big wheel and enough meat on the tire to look as though they have tires on. I notice on the 24's and higher that tire sidewall is almost non existant. Am I on the right track here, the 23s do afford about 4 inch side wall, give or take?
I also want to afford some protection from pot-hole damage that might arise from the poor roads in my area. I presume the tire sidewall buffers this a bit. Is this correct? Any other comments welcome.
I have found a couple of 23x10 out there that I like (Enkie Krupt running high on the list right now), what are the bad things I might expect (big wheel-to-fender gap/rubbing/etc)?
Car will not be lowered initially, if I do is this something that the dealer may frown upon and use as an excuse on warrantly work? If not lowered will the 23s still look good (tire/wheel ratio)?
I see that the 305/40/23 is pretty much the standard tire wrapped on this size wheel, will they rub at all? What should I expect?
Wheel offet, what is the wheel offset range that I should be looking at to achieve a nice flush with the fender lip look?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
