Tahoes, Escalades, Yukons, Avalanches and Burbans can all fit 16's up to 06. The 1500 trucks however started using 17's in 2005. From what I hear, 2005 was a split year too, there were a few 05's that still had 16's. Drums is really the changing factor. If it was a 2005 and had rear drums, then it had 17's. If it had rear discs, then it had 16's.

Word.

The GMT800 Avalanches never changed to rear drum brakes, so they *should* fit. They did get hydroboost brakes in 2005 though, I think.
