Lifted 4X4 Astro Van: Tires/Wheels

- Finally found a decent set of stick 26" Chevy wheels that I stripped and painted then went with the Fallen Wildpeak A/T AT3W 245/75R16 tire - was able to fit the full size spare tire under this thing with the trailer hitch - I misspoke, I first put a Cooper 225/45R16 on these wheels which turned out to be far too small

*update - on the freeway the speedo does seem to be off 4-5 MPH according to the maps speed reading on the phone which used to always be right on with my speedo with 28" tall tires - Something I need to be aware of, now....
Off road, 4x4, lifted 2004 Astro Van - s10 rear springs, RS9000 shocks, Journey's Off Road 5" lift and transfer case swap along with the larger torsion keys...

Those tires and rims look great on the truck!!
Haha I'm working on mine in 20 degrees I want you're weather! Surfing is also really cold here
An axle dust cap for a trailer might be the ticket for your center cap. They make all kinds of sizes. Moog makes some great u joints. I bet they have good idler arms as well. Your van is looking good.
Nice job great looking astro. Love mine only wish it was AWD.
Have your machinist pal turn a cap with an OD matching the ID of the wheel and a threaded hole in the back to screw right onto the axle. Spin it on and your done, only have to remove it to remove the axle nut! :)
Great little vans indeed. I love mine. Put a lot of work into it already, but next big hit is trany & transfer case.😒
Looks sic. I luv these vans and the White ones always looked clean from the start. Good job.
It looks really good.
Love you have done with it. I just picked up a 2000 GMC Safari and I plan on copying what you've done 💯💪semper fi
Yeah you are setup nice there. Very nice van and clean.
Idlers are on my to do list for my 05 this year. I will probably go with Moog idlers.
I am totally jealous 😍
I bought my van for $980 and it had a brand new $140 battery and brand new $645 mud and snow tires . In the van was a repair estimate for $3600 to do everything but what was wrong with it( fuel Injection ) all new from eBay $210 but a bitch to put in. My point is learn to work on your Astro or go broke😁
I liked knock offs like a old Jag
Wheels look good, can't go wrong with reliable oem. I built and installed the poly engine mounts after watching your vid on that and they got me off the diff and no vibes, very pleased with that upgrade. I'm lifted around 6" and chasing a vibration at 70 mph. How's your van feel around 70?
I had a vibration around 65 mph - turned out to be the front passenger side wheel hub assembly... Shop around for a good deal - I think Rock Auto may have a good price on the ACDELCO
Nice
Metal fence post caps at home depot .
Use little spot mirror for center caps
6 Lugs?! Those are 3/4 ton Wheels ?! Did you just get 3/4 spindles and rotors also ? _ That's kinda epic if you did! _ You've probly already long fixed this by now? About self destructing 'Idler Arm' grease bulb'_Besides possibly being Over Tightend? Maybe remove it' then file/grind' any scratchy flashing burrs? _ Then take a 'New' replacement Idler arm' and Lubricate the out side of rubber boot with whatever stays on' yet doesn't eat the rubber bulb? Now here's the 'Give it a try part' Use a Anti Corrosion battery pad' slathered in whatever grease works best ? In between the two parts' 'Could be a lucky 'go for it' Black Jack Winner?! If not ? _ not out much' Thank for a great video' Safety and Blessings Always😶🇺🇸👍
This is a last generation Astro - '03-'05 had this upgrade, 6 lug 16" wheels, larger 4 wheel Disc brakes, beefier suspension and some other stuff
@@AstroVanTribe First ever heard of that option? Do You think those 'option' parts Would retro fit to an 98' LS 2wd passenger? That would be the cats meow right there! 🏞🚐🌦
@SpiritZweiSpirit1st no, this is common knowledge, they weren't options, upgrades, the third generation Astros, those last three years all have these things
Thanks for video. I have 2 inch lift but I trimmed a lot both front and rear wheel arks . So I assume I should fit similar tyres . what about width, dont you have any issues with rubbing front suspension parts when turn whee all way to one or another side? Please advise. Because I was recommended not to go wider than 235 on stock 16 inch rims
I went with 285/35/R16 - I get a tiny bit of frame rub on one side but I "heat and beat" it - Need to do a bit more on the passenger side
Hey Mike. Van looks great. Was wondering if you know what your fuel mileage is like now?
Just drove 6-1/2 hours into Arizona and it seemed like it hasn't changed - can't give you specifics as I never calculated it
I'm in dire straights of lifting my van it needs it bad
How are the airbags in the rear? I am getting rubbing when I am off-road Mainly going up hill. I removed the plastic crap from in front of the right rear tire.
The s10 leaf springs were key and I'm running a 30" tire... the air bags help when I'm carrying a lot of weight on the road
