He was certainly one of us lift kit fans. The picture in his gallery is definitely Bridgestone Revos, but I think from the front view that he's only at 245 or 255 width. With 1 1/4" spacers, he could have had 265s. He posted in February:
I have 1.25 billet wheel spacers but..........the freakin' stock studs stuck out farther than 1.25 so you could never get the wheel absolutley tight against the spacer. It took me weeks to figure this out (The wheels kept loosening up and I couldn't figure it out). I had to file down the stock studs so they were flush with the spacer once installed. I would recommend the 1.5 wheel spacer to avoid this frustration. In the front suspension I would like to stack some .75 Maxx spacers on top of the ones I have, and then get something more for the rear. I do however feel that the front springs have faded since instaling the Maxx spacers. The guys at Maxx say " Oh we never experienced that" I don't have new tires right now. I put new ones on over a year ago. I will probably go with Dueller REVO 265's. I really like the REVOS AT's I have and will probably get them again. I also bought the Z71 stickers for a 2003 Tahoe and added them about a year ago. It would be interesting to see what a Z71 TB would really come equipped with.

Roadie, I received today officially(Thanks to you) the 1.5 spacers by "Fred" Outstanding service shipped in 5 days from the left coast!!
I going in on Monday to size up the 265' 70 or 65 in Firestone or the Revos and then onto the beach the following weekend!
I have been hammering people on the tires that they run, I just need to make sure and get a good tire with a good size for my needs..
Love the site and the people here...

Didn't know the coasties used explosives, didn't know placards existed that stated hazard groups without trans and storage compatibility groups either. Must be a Department of Homeland Security thing?
Anyway, do you have any contact info for "Fred"? I've got a friend interested in finding a set of spacers, thanks.

I'm pretty sure his K9 searches for explosives, IIRC.
Fred Goeske is from wheeladapter.com. You can contact him through their website or eBay store. That's who my spacers came from, though secondhand because I'm one of those bargain shoppers. ;)
P.S. K9 buddy... get the Revos if you have the money. I would have myself is I hadn't done the spacers / tires / SuspensionMaxx spacers all at the same time. All I had left was enough for the Firestones. I really do like them, but I like the tread pattern on the Revos a little better.

"FastFreds" Wheel adaptors received mine in five days here in NC...$296 shipped!
I have had a privilege of doing Bomb dog work for 4yrs with the CG, we go everywhere with these dogs. The placards are required when training with High Explosives(HE) on military installations. We do alot of work with the zoomies at Langley AFB in Va.

Thats cool because I load the bombs/cruise missiles/nukes on B-52's and sometimes we use the ranges on the east coast. Everything we touch requires a 1.1D placard, if we loaded off a trailer with just 1.1 on it, we'd be in deep.
