Please forget your plan. Any time the adapters are used the wheel is spaced further away from your CV joints an most important wheel bearings. It causes undo wear and tear and strain on the wheel bearings. The cost is an excess of $150.00 just to purchase a wheel bearing alone. The object of a close coupled pressed wheel bearing directly in the spindle is to keep the load as close to the wheel bearing flange and between ball joints as possible. As the wheel is placed further out on the center line of the imaginary (in your case) spindle an extended lever action is placed on the wheel bearings. This is why camber was engineered a century and a half ago on buggies. If you were able to run a string between the center line of your ball joints you would find that it falls to the center line of the tires where they meet the highway.

Crazy offset wheels do the same types of damage. If you want a wider wheel keep the offset as close to the spindle / a arms and steering arms as possible and increase width the same amount. Be extremely careful when changing off-sets. Go to: tirerack .com and they can give you the very best answer on what wheel widths are OK for your Tahoe.
