Better prices on these items?

This is what I'm looking at purchasing in the next couple of days for my '00 Silverado ext. cab. I was wondering if anyone knows of any better sources. Even opinions would be cool. Any testimonials.....

Helo Maxx 6 (black) 20" rims w/ Nitto NT404 255/50/20 tires: $1732.76 shipped
http://www.tiresdelivered.com/

Belltech 3"/4" lowering kit: $569.90 shipped
Kit Includes: 3" Front Coil Springs 4" Rear Shackle & Hanger Kit Drive-Line Alignment Kit Front & Rear Nitro Active Shocks
http://www.stylinconcepts.com

TYC Altezza Style Black Housing Euro Taillights (T554541): $180.00
http://lightlens.com

Also, did I pick out the right size tire for a 20" x 10" rim?

Thanks.

Sup man.

I'm not sure about the pricing for the wheels and tires. It seems good.

However, I believe you're going to have rubbing issues in the front. The rear should be fine.

For the suspension, I would advise against springs. I would go for their spindle setup. The ride is far superior. Not sure how deadset you are on the 3/4 but I would at least consider the 4/6. Regret not having it myself. I think it rides better too, and so do most. It will also keep the steering angle true and bump steer should be nonexistant.

Check out http://www.mcgaughys.com/truck_new.html they've got the best stuff out right now for the nbs chevy's. Most people say go djm or mcgaughys on nbs, as belltech seemed to have been better engineered for the obs chevy's. But it's not a bad company to say the least.

That size tire isn't going to work. I'd recommend a 275 or 285/40/20. I know a 275/45/20 is possible, but i don't know on a 10" wide rim. That's just VERY wide for the front. I have 20x9's with 275/40/20 and no rubbing at all.

I don't see any lights listed for $188. I don't even see 99-Current listed. I would check out www.sportruck.com. I order front clears and I was very please. The front lense fell off of one of them, i sent them back and they replaced them. No questions asked.

Re: Better prices on these items?

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm trying to stay away from tucking the wheelings. I was looking for more of a medium drop but with a decent forward rake having the rear up higher than the front, especially if I'm carrying any type of load in the back. I don't want that dragging ass look. I wasn't sure on the proper size of tire, but it was definately going to be one of those questions I had before ordering. As for the rubbing in the front, do you think it'll be the width of the wheel that causes the problem?

I'm not entirely sure. If you're not going to be buying for another week or so, I'll try and get a measurement and maybe some pics(if my camera works) of my wheels turned lock to lock.

The 255/55/20 is made for a rim with these dimensions: 7.0-(8.0)-9.0, 8.0 being best.
