First, you don't have to take your tires off to put them on. I installed them on my 2017 Tahoe with 20" tires by simply rotating the front wheel to gain access. Just do it slowly and easily and you won't have any problems. The little plastic things they give you to paint the truck are totally unnecessary, not to mention a real pain to get the car. After that I applied a black restorer to the exterior paintwork and they look like the originals. also functional and helps keep the road gloomy and keeps water off the sides of my Tahoe when it rains.
