Hello, new to the forum out of kelso Washington.
I have a 84 suburban 3/4ton 4x4 with a 6.5 turbo swapped in and a 74k5 I have a 6.2 with banks turbo kit sitting in my garage waiting to be installed.

I’m having issues finding info on rims for my suburban which is why I gave up and decided to come here. Where is a good section to post rim related content?

Thanks,
Keysar

Welcome in from the Ole North State. You have two great looking trucks judging by the pics. There should be plenty of info on wheels in some of the past threads here on the site.

What kind of info are you looking for? What fits? Sizes? Brands?

That suburban I bought it with 17” dodge wheels. Put some used tires on it with out doing too much research, and found that it rubs pretty bad on the pitman arm when turning to the right.

I’m not trying to buy new rims AND tires and don’t want to go with spacers.

I prefer a steelie type wheel or stock with hub caps but again stock is 16” so I’d have to get new tires again.

so I was looking at picking these Silverado wheels up as they are 17” and from my research has the correct back spacing which should fix the problem and still look ok in my opinion but not sure if the hub hole is the correct diameter

There should be several in the tech sections. Also, make certain those are 8 on 6.5 and not the newer metric bolt pattern that the '11 and newer trucks use.
