One of the components that make the most impact to the overall appearance of any custom vehicle is wheels. For this important factor of the custom style equation we chose Intro custom wheels exposed 5 series, "Sport 5" five-spoke, 41/2 on five-bolt pattern, 20x81/2-inch polished billet aluminum two-piece wheels.

We rolled the Tahoe down the street from Traders Sport Truck to the alignment shop to get the front and rear wheels aimed in the same direction.

After the Intro "Sport 5" wheel and Goodyear Fortera rubber were teamed up and mounted on the Tahoe, we could stand back and admire the pure beauty.

After returning from the alignment shop, Ox took the final measurements from all four corners. From the previous lifted version, the Tahoe was lowered a total of 71/2 inches. We had a genuine 4/4 drop from the factory specs.
From The Driver Seat
Making major appearance, engine, suspension, and wheel/tire changes to your high-mileage truck or SUV will instantly improve your overall driving experience. The CGS intake and exhaust install improved the engine's throttle response and power. The CGS tuned exhaust decreased back pressure and created a deeper-sounding rumble. Lowering the Tahoe with a DJM Suspension 4/4 drop improved its cornering and braking due to a lower center of gravity and the tighter suspension helped eliminate body roll and less nose diving during braking. Larger 20x81/2-inch Intro custom Sport 5 wheels wrapped in Goodyear Fortera 275/45R20 rubber not only improve the looks, but also contributed to better cornering and braking due to a larger tire tread contact patch with the road surface.
