What is the wheel offset for a 2010 GMC 1500 AWD Savana cargo van?

 

I have called several GM 800 numbers and the GM idiots have no clue and can't give me an answer. I want to know the offset so I can look for wheels.

Yeah they were total idiots. I called several different numbers for customer service and marketing and emailed several times and they couldn't figure out for the life of them how or from where they could find an answer.

No wonder this company is teetering on bankruptcy.

My advice would be to take one of your wheels off and take the measurements yourself if you can't find the info anywhere else.

If you get the same width wheel it will sit in the same place as the original one, for the most part, if you get a wheel that's 1" wider it will stick out 0.5" further than the stock wheel. Offset varies by a few mm...there's 25mm to 1".

The stock wheels will have a positive offset...so as long as you stay with something positive you will be good.

 

 

Easiest way to find out....pull out your measuring tape and follow this website;

Thanks for the help.

 

I can't remove the wheel and measure because I am ordering a 2010 Savana and it has yet to arrive.

I was going to use this.>>>>> http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

It will tell me exactly the move out since I know the vehicle wheel size 17X7 and the wheel size of the new ones !7X8 and their offset 25. The only data I need is the wheel offset of the vehicle as you can see from the calculator.

They GMC have such ugly wheels for the Savana cargo van (gray painted) I want to replace them. And I want to figure out and find a wheel now so I can have it ready right away for the vehicle. If the oem tires are the crap General Ameritrac's I will probably replace tires and wheels on day one. GMC has a decent chrome wheel for the passenger van but for whatever crazy reason you can't get it for the cargo van? Go figure.

The reason I also need to know exactly how far out the wheel is going to move is because this vehicle will have a sliding cargo door. So if the wheel sticks out too far the door will hit it.

I know the wheel is a 17X7 and comes with 245/70/17's.

Most wheels that I am finding come 17X8. I want to stay as close to stock as possible for the reasons mentioned.

So I really need to know exactly what the offset is.

Then I can plug it right into an offset calculator and know exactly what is going on with wheels I am interested in.

It is getting set up for camping, I go hunting and fishing a lot in the boonies and want to upgrade the wheels for the simple fact that the OEM's are real ugly painted gray wheels. And I want All Terrain tires as I drive off road constantly.

 

 

I'm going to buy a pre fabricated carpeted wall liner and a bedrug for the floor and then build a bed frame/storage platform bed with a memory foam mattress.... and I am good to go.

I'd rather not be spending money on wheels. But as I said the wheels available with the Savana cargo are really ugly. If I could order a halfway decent GMC chrome wheel or polished aluminum I'd be all over that. I'd rather have a nice GMC wheel than spending $$$ on after market wheels. I just really really hate those gray painted things they offer.

 

As far as the tires. I have heard a lot of bad things about the OEM General Ameritrac's. I hate to have to replace tires but I drive in some very nasty conditions. Very deep snow. Lots of off road. This vehicle will be tested and pushed to its limits.

 

I will order this vehicle Beginning of January.

 

I will be doing a lot of bow hunting, duck hunting, flyfishing with it.

 

 

you have spare change for rims and tires ,for fishing ,have fun then ,catch a big one and post pics

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well
