Chevy Tahoe police wheels - takeoffs?

[pHILSANITY07]

Those arent the same, Ive done some pdi's on the police edition Tahoes and the wheels are black but the centercap goes on with 3 size 13mm bolts. They dont screw on to the lugnuts. Its a completely different centercap. The rim size I think is a 20 inch wheel, but not 100 percent. The tires are goodyear eagles

I do agree on the center caps being different though, but most wont notice, if he wanted to he can get the real ones later(and drill a hole/mount a stud to secure them to the wheel) not a huge deal.






Wheels look good Matt!

I hope you atleast bought that shit at my store.

Those are they gray caps? Are the cop tahoes chrome caps?

Yes, cops are chrome and these aren't. I'll swap when I find some.

Why not just find a parked Police Tahoe and yank the wheels and run

well when we get them from the plant they are already sold to a police department. A couple of months ago I think Grapevine or SouthLake bought 6 of them. I dont think they are on the lot like regular stock units, but could be wrong.

Tire sizes, need input.

Stock is 265-70-17.
The police version comes with 265-60-17. (265-70-17 on the 4wd version)


Not a huge difference, but noticeable. Would the black wheels look better w/ the slightly lower profile that everyone is so used to seeing them with?

I'm on stock suspension, and from what I can tell the police cruiser is lowered 1-2". I'm def going to put the beefier swaybars on eventually and maybe level it, but that might be a while.
Opinions?

i personally think it might look a bit odd with the smaller tires due to it being stock height

one way to get a better idea(if you have the extra $$) is to go buy 2 cheap used tires in either size and put them on one side of the vehicle. at least then you will have an idea as to what it will look like

i would go with the 60's. what type of rear suspension is on those? if leaf jsut spend the $80 and 1hr and throw on some shackels in your driveway. i put some on my 2011 super crew and i think it looks great!

god bless.

I'd lower it and go with the lower profile tire. Then I would black out any and all chrome trim, remove all badging, and running boards, and pop off the roof rack(unless you really use it)

That will be a sweet ass ride once done.

Are you going for the unmarked tahoe look?
