Dark... I put a Magnaflow on my Black 07 Tahoe... It sounds nice ... I also have a Airaid Intake, poweraid mass airflow sensor, Throttle Body Spacer and I leveled out the front suspention with Daystar 2" coil spacers... It seems to ride even better than stock. With all that I have added so far... I can tell a difference in the power. I am waiting for the superchips Flashpaq to arrive at the end of this week. I think my next step will be headers thereafter.
I have looked for wheels, but I am having a hard time finding ones that I like... I guess Chevy changed the offset this year which at this point really narrows the availible wheels. I am looking for a Black wheel, but not very many out there... Have you located the wheels you want? If so, where did you find wheels that would fit.... I am not very clear on the offset needed. I have heard +31mm but then I have also heard of measurements of 4.5"...so I am confused to say the least. Everytime I find a set I like the performance store I use say they wont fit.....

Wolf,

I went to discount tire, I did alot of research on wheels and feel the same way I couldn't find the one that really stuck out. Until I went to ALBA wheels. KMC also offers some wheels. go to www.wheelpros.com they have a selection. The wheels I bought are the DROP 20x8.5 6-5.5HC The offset is only how much of a lip you will have. I believe you can go as far as +15. I am also getting the leveling kit from fabtech all this week. By the way what gears do you have on your tahoe?

The factory offset is exactly 31mm which translates into 1.22"

Explanation of "offset" found here:

Thanks for the reply..... so does the aftermarket wheel need to be exactly +31mm offset? Or can it be close to +31mm...such as +25 or a +30?

Please let us know how much that superchips flashpack helps your power. I need some more low end and I think changing the shift points around might help.
