17's to 18's

[mjlimo82]

I've been presented with an opportunity to purchase some 18's from a Silverado Z71 with a set of brand new 265/70's on them for a VERY cheap price - cheaper than what the tires would cost if you went out and bought 4 brand new ones. Hard to pass up, but... I currently have 17's with 245/70's on my truck now, which is what it came with. My truck is two wheel drive so it's going to sit lower than a four wheel would and naturally that's going to limit how much tire can go on the truck. I'm curious if the 265's will fit on it without rubbing in the front? I "built" a new 2013 on the Chevy website to see what the tire size options were on a 2wd and you can get 265/65's with the 18's, but no 70's. I wouldn't think there would be THAT big of a difference between them, but I don't want to make an expensive mistake either. Has anyone put the 265/70's on a 2wd and had problems? Also, what's the procedure for synching up TPMS after the swap? My truck has the detailed TPMS that actually displays the pressure in each tire, not just if one of them is low. Will I have to swap the sensors from my wheels over to the new ones?

Realized I left out some important info here - this is for a 2011 Silverado ECSB All-Star.

shouldent be a problem

Yeah, they should fit. And, you'll need to transfer the TPMS sensors to your new rims....unless the new rims have sensors already installed...then you can just get those programmed to work with your truck.

I think the new rims have the sensors already in them, but if not then I'll be sure to have mine them transferred over to them. Thanks for the help everyone! I just didn't want to make a $600 mistake without a little advice first.

No problem. Be sure to post some pics when you get them on!
