Will 2004 17 inch Chev Tahoe steel stamped rims fit without hitting any tie rod ends or whatever? Would like to know before I go look at rims. Thanks.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

'87 and back is what works. Not absolutely sure, though.

Hmmm, now I'm wondering. Just stay with 87 back and I guess I won't need to guess. Right !!! | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Actually, it's '91 on Blazer and 'Burb. They carried over the R/V body along with some versions of the 1 ton, namely the Crew Cab and Chassis cab models, usually with dual wheels on those models.
