I found a good deal on wheels and tires for my 05 TB. Can I just swap the current 16" wheels and tires with the 17" ones that I found?
Good point...if someone were to buy my stock gmt wheels and just throw em on they may not realize they are going slower than what the speedometer actually reads.dmanns67 said:Whats the tire size of the 16" wheels and 17" wheels? Just wondering for overall height.
Because the tire type and tire width I wanted I either had to go bigger or smaller. I chose smaller because I don't care about the speedometer /odometer readings being off.... however I do get better torque off the line and acceleration from lower speeds.

The op asked if they would fit....
But OMG what if the GPS is wrong?!?!?!?!?!BlazingTrails said:Its not enough to matter, everyone should check their speedometer with a GPS anyway. Mine was off 4 mph with stock wheels.
You want to race me? [emoji3]
You got a pic of your 16" EXT wheels? They should not have been able to clear the brake calipers, unless you've got SWB calipers/rotors on your truck.KYblazer06 said:Well it's funny I just did the same thing... I went from 16's on my TB EXT LS which is a 2006 to 17" 245 75 17 that are off a 2004 Trailblazer LTZ...
