Can I Put 16" rims on an astro?
Can I Put 16" rims on an astro?
I'm looking at buying some new alloys for my 2000 Astro. I know a guy selling some 16" rims, and the bolt pattern is 5X5(5X127). They are off of a 2000 Tahoe Special Edition. Will these fit? If they do, what size tires should I buy ? 215-70-16? TIA

As long as the bolt pattern is 5x5 then the 16's will fit fine. You can go with a 215/70R16, or 225/65/R16 or 235/60 or 65 R16.

Re: Can I Put 16" rims on an astro?
they are obviously new, but old stock. where'd you score them from? local seller? local shop? ebay? or otherwise... I'm thinking I might like to try and locate a set being that version of a tahoe is so rare and the wheels seem to be discontinued.
yes.. definitely post pics.. and the tire size you end up putting on
haha... how funny is that.. I found them for sale (where you got the pic from) right in tristan's backyard.... seems the seller of these wheels is right in my old neck of the woods...
