Newbie with a new project.
 

Hi gang. Just found your cool truck site and it looks like a good place to hang out.
Just picked up a '92 GMC Suburban 2WD.
350/auto, 153k, 3rd seat, super clean inside and out. Even a lot of tread on the tires.
I'd like to lower it about 4" and change out the wheels.
I may even update the sound system and head and tailights.
Always interested in suggestions and opinions.
Here's my new ride.

Nice find. Very nice truck, and especially nice with that 3rd row seating! What style wheels are you looking into?

Re: Newbie with a new project.
 

Well right now I don't have the funds for custom wheels so I'm looking at which factory wheels would fit it.

Re: Newbie with a new project.
 

So where do a find a set of those?

Re: Newbie with a new project.
 

a salvage yard or just watch out for some on CL or your local buy/sell. the going price for 4 can be anywhere's from 80-200 bucks. i once bought 2 with good tires for 40.

I just picked up 4 Astro van chrome wheels. They look pretty nice, mostly need a good cleaning. Mounted on them are Firestone Destination LE tires, 215/75/15 with only 3000 miles on them. Got the set for $125.
I want to get a set of chrome center caps for them before I put the on.

Any tips for improving MPG?
Checked it the other day, I got almost 17, and that is mostly town driving.
