I’m in the market for a set of 20” SS TB rims for my 04 TB LT.

Wheel Vehicle Automotive tire Hood Motor vehicle

Is there any issues that I should be aware of going forward? Will they fit? How big is the max, as far as tire size? Will I need spacers? Does it matter if the SS rims is from the same year model as my LT?(between 04-09) Is there any more complications that i can expect?

I have found that a lot of aftermarket rims won’t fit b/c of bolt patterns. Is there a website I can find more of a selection of rims that will fit?

Thanks everyone! This is my first post. So I’m happy to be here..

Yes, SS wheels should work for you without any modifications.
The standard tire size for SS wheels is P255/50/R20
But keep in mind that by switching to 20 wheel radius you will lose in comfort.

P.S What engine do you have?

Lose comfort? Like how? B/c of the lower series tire (side walls)?

Honestly. I’m not 100% sure but i think it’s a factory V6. It’s the LT edition w/o 4x4

Ill reserve my judgement until after they start posting about 5.3 swaps lol. Wheel options are slim for us.... maybe they will stop here.... maybe

You may want to upgrade the front brakes to the ones from the V8. Larger rims put more stress on the braking system.
It's an easy swap and not expensive. I bought all the parts from Rockauto. I did to my '07 4.2 with 17 inch rims.

That's why I asked what engine this TВ has.
