96 suburban questions

[russ841]

Long time follower, first time posting project. Like everyoneone here, I am a big fan of this body style. The reason I recently picked up this 96 is to haul my boys all over the east coast for travel baseball and wrestling. So as you can imagine, my wife has been complaining about all the miles she puts on her 2020 suburban, and wants a new one. So I have decided to build this to keep from buying her a new Denali every 4 years.

Now for a couple questions.
- can you guys recommend replacement OEM style lights? Any experience good or bad would help.
- As you can see from the pictures, I picked up the 5/7 kit from belltech. Does anyone have any experience with offset and back spacing for 20/10 and 20/8.5? Leaning toward the tourq thrust, but could be happy with cheap steal wheels.
Any and all help would be much appreciated. Thank you

20x8.5 fit great with about 5" of backspacing, 20x10 needs about 6", tire size you choose will matter. In these pics, IIRC I'm running 255/45/20 up front on 20x8.5 and 295/40/20 out back on 20x10. As you can see the pic is from 2014 so memory is a little fuzzy but I do specifically recall the 255/45/20 as that's the rear size used in the OEM staggered fitment on my 300 SRT8, and the 295/40/20 is nearly equal in height (about 29" front and just under 29.5" rear).. fender lips rolled front and rear. A 295/45/20 out back will probably be just fine too but is about 1.5" taller and I was going for keeping the level appearance.

ANZO makes good headlights. You can get them off Amazon.

TYC also makes decent lights - they are also an OEM supplier. You can get them off Rock Auto.

If you want the best OEM composite headlights available, there's the Artebs. They were OEM in Brazil and have an improved reflector/lens design compared to what we got in North America. Not cheap, but a very good product.
