2015 GMC Yukon Denali

 

I just recently ordered these (CK156) from shopchevyparts.com (the shipping was cheaper than shopgmcparts.com) and a set of Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza tires (P285/45R-22) from TireRack.com (since these are the OEM tires for the optional 22" wheels on the new Yukons). I received an email from TireRack.com saying that the tires had shipped, but then shortly after, I received an email from shopchevyparts.com saying that the wheels are on backorder with an anticipated availability in 45-60 days.

 

After reading this page, I'm not sure 45-60 days will be accurate. I also learned about this whole LPO stuff and confirmed that the neither the local dealership nor the ADI (accessory distributor installer) could do anything about it since LPOs have to be purchased when placing the original vehicle order. I did find out that the ADI does have 16 in stock. Oh well.

 

So I'm not sure how to proceed: wait (indefinitely), cancel my wheel order with shopchevyparts.com, go with another GM wheel (not sure I like the other ones as much), or go with a new non-GM wheel that I can also use with the lonely 22" tires sitting in my garage (which comes at a risk of potentially dealing with "using non-GM parts voids the warranty" lines that dealerships like to try and say even though the warranty item being fixed is not even related).

 

Also not sure who to be more frustrated with:

- GMC false advertising/marketing who lists these wheels as an accessory in the brochure (Pg 33 - http://www.gmc.com/content/dam/GMC/global/master/nscwebsite/en/home/Vehicles/Current_Vehicles/2015_Yukon/Model_Overview/02_PDF/2015-Yukon.pdf) but failing to mention the major point that you can only purchase certain accessories at time of vehicle factory order.

- That they only list 3 of the 8 22" wheel options when you "Build & Price" a new vehicle on gmc.com.

- That they only list 5 of the 8 22" wheel options on gmcaccessories.com

- Or with the whole LPO concept/bureaucracies in general by which I learned that the local ADI actually has 16 of these in stock but are unable to take my money (for GM/GMC/ADI/Local Dealership profits). It's like hey, here's a few grand for some extra stuff you have lying around. But they're like nah, it looks so pretty sitting over there...so much better than having actual dollars.

 

I know exactly what you mean. Nothing on any of the on-line accessory dealers indicated that there were any problems ordering these wheels. Shopgmcparts.com just said the item was backordered and would be available in 30-45 days. They never mentioned anything about the part being an LPO part until the 4th phone call to check on the order status. I finally ended up cancelling my order. But now I'm considering re-ordering and just waiting it out. I'm not going to order tires until the wheels show up at my house :-)

Before I submitted my order, it actually gave a delivery date that was like 4 days out from the order date. It wasn't until a day after did I receive the email that it was out of stock / backordered.

So I guess I have a few questions to the group now:

- Does anyone have any insight into GM as to when the LPOs may be lifted? The answer doesn't have to be exact, but working with "30 days to never" makes it quite difficult to an educated decision.

- Since all of the 22" wheels are LPOs, how does GM expect one to buy 22" wheels but only use GM approved wheel and tire combinations? Seems to be a bit of a catch 22 (no pun intended).

The only way to get the 22" SEY's right now, is to buy a truck with the SEY's already on it.

We were one of the largest eBay sellers of GM OEM wheels. There is no eta on when GM will release the wheels outside of LPOs. We've been waiting since November 2013. IF it even happens.

 

My assumption is supply and demand. GM is probably going to keep their stock in wheels rather large until all orders get caught up with the new platform. Then maybe release them from that point forward.

 

This way they can entertain the LPOs first and then once the new body is in full swing, they'll start going back to the way things were.

 

I can guarantee you that once it happens, we will be putting them back on eBay and will beat anyone as far as pricing.. Same as we did before. ;)

Would they FIT on a 2012 Sierra Denali 2500HD crew cab?


Thanks for the information...I really want these rims, but want to make sure if I spend the money they fit.

Nope. You have a 2500 which is 8 lug. These are 6 lug.

Im runnin 305/45/22 nitto terra grappers on mine. I love the look and how they stick out a little morr. However those stock bridgestone tires theyre puttin on are damn good all around

 

Are you running a leveling kit to clear those 305/45R22's?

 

I have a set of 22" wheels coming with a +30 offset (stock is +34 I think) and really want to run that size tire but don't want to level if I don't have to. Anyone have the answer? I want to run some Toyo Open Country AT's that are listed as 32.6" diameter and 11.9" wide. I know it will be close.

Yes i ran it with a 2" level no rubbing. I have +18 mm offset and added .25" spacers and atill had no rubbing with the 2" level. So if you ask me id say youll be close but prob okay since youre gunna have a 30mm offset.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
