Yes you are very correct Dan. I've ran 22's on my 2007-2016 trucks (had many) and yes, the Bridgestone 285/45/22 was a little harsher than the stock 275/55/20's naturally because of more sidewall. I won't dispute that. On my T1, I went with a 275/50/22 which is the recommended 22" tire size for '19. I was expecting a little harsher ride like my previous trucks with these being a 265/65/18 and because of a 4" difference in wheel size . I went with the Michelins, had them road force balanced and couldn't believe the ride. As crazy as it sounds, it actually rides a little better than the 18's. I understand there is more sidewall on the new size 22" but for it to ride as good or better than stock 18's?? Doesn't make sense but it is what it is and I know this for a fact. Here's the kicker; the 275/50/22 has more sidewall than the previous years 285/45/22 but still not as much sidewall as my 265/65/18. So how do you explain an equal or better ride with less sidewall??? I guess it's a combo of new T1 22" tire size, suspension and tire brand? IDK. I cannot attest the ride on a Bridgestone new size 275/50/22 but can on a Michelin. I can also attest the ride on the previous size Bridgestone 285/45/22 which is a little harsher than the OEM 275/55/20's. Don't know what else to say.

You must've read his post wrong. He's saying the 20" rim size rode worse than his 22's. I know for a fact that my Michelin 22's ride better than my stock 18's did.

Agree, no one thinks the Sierra fender wells look good. Except the designers...

There's a thread on this and I believe it was a fuel tank/filler neck vent line issue? There's a service bulletin listed on the thread. Sorry didn't have time to browse through the threads. Someone will chime in on the link.

2 Window tint, shorty antenna and level. I prefer dropping the rear to level as I don't like lifting the front. I like closing fender gaps and not increasing them. What wheels are you looking at? There are not many chrome 22's that clear the new 2019 calipers.

Yep, looks nice congrats ?. Please dont start blackening it out, wrapping, putting Grapplers and rattle can looking black wheels lol. It's clean and classy now and I know you'll get many compliments ?.

Did they tell you the one about the 3 bears?

Hmm... What size 22" tires do you have? I surmise 285/45/22?

I've ran 22's for several years on my last 4 GM trucks. Yes, they were a little harsher than the stock 18/20's. Now on the '19? I can't tell any ride difference from the OEM 18's. I have Michelin 22's road force balanced on my '19 RST running 36 psi. They are extremely smooth and quiet at all speeds and couldn't be happier with the ride. The 22's for '19 went from a 285/45/22 to a 275/50/22. Apparently that made the difference. I wouldn't go back to a smaller wheel diameter.

Yes, I haven't had any made but inquired about them when I was wheel shopping a few months back. There's only one company who will do a hub centric 3mm aluminum spacer. They're $105 a set. Ask for Lenny. Good luck! http://www.motorsport-tech.com/index.html

All been stated.

And something's wrong with this ??

Don't know how it ever got started...

What style wheels are those?? All I see is a black blob. Rustoleum or Krylon?

I'm running 22's and couldn't be happier. Looked at 20's but always had 22's so couldn't see myself go back to 20's ?

Yea I hear ya bud. I've noticed some guys Here local that had black wheels and have since taken them off. Is the rattle can looking wheel trend fading ?? How is it in your area?

? yeah! No black rattle spray can looking wheels. Nice ?

Nah.. I'd ditch the black wheels and put chrome.

Correct, hub centric means the wheel is centered on the hub. So then, the thickness (depth) of the hub is 8mm. Using a 6mm (1/4") spacer only leaves 2mm left to grab onto the hub and with the taper at the end of the hub and the taper of the wheel bore, there's no more left for the wheel to fit over the hub to keep it hub centric which in turn now makes it lug centric and now relies on the lugs to center the wheel instead of the hub . Like I said, not a good thing on these GM trucks which are designed to be hub centric and not lug centric. A 3mm (1/8") spacer is max thickness to keep it hub centric ?.

Do you know that using 1/4" spacers your wheels aren't hub centric anymore? Not a good thing.

Same here. LT's, RST's, HC's and Denali. Very few SLT's and no SLE's or AT4's..

Bye bye FERD

Black out what and for what?

Very nice ?. All you need now is chrome wheels ?
