I am looking at replacing my factory 20 inch rims on my 2019 Sierra SLT.  I want to keep factory tires 275/60/20. What size do I need to look for to fit over brake calibers?

It's not about the size, it's about the angle of the spoke coming from the backside of the rim.  There's a post on this forum that lists all of the rims people have tried so far (see below link).  It's honestly a trial and error process.  Worst case scenario, you could always use a small hubcentric wheel spacer to run any wheel you want.

FWIW on my GMT800 The 2005-2006 CK805 Denali wheels fit fine over my Z06 brake setup, but the 2007-2013 Denali wheels needed a spacer.

 

On this '19 the CK805s went on just fine with the stock brakes (no Performance Parts BBK yet), but I'd probably need the same spacer if I tried the 2007-2013 Denali wheels.  It really does come down to the spoke shape/profile.

Look for a style/brand that you like, and then call/email the manufacturer directly. Chances are, they've already test fitted the wheel, and will have an answer for you, or they have a caliper/hub measurement sheet that you can fill out for them to test fit on their back end. Saves you a lot of trouble buying a wheel, only to have to run a spacer because it doesn't clear.

 

You're going to be stuck with off-road style wheels for the most part

      I prefer new, but not without a deal. Historically I've bought severely aged new inventory, leftover model year, unpopular configuration kind of stuff that sits around on dealer lots until they just want it gone. $10k off MSRP kind of stuff on a mid-priced truck. That really, really helps knock down that first year depreciation. It also requires being somewhat flexible on colors and options. I wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder if I was looking for an 8 cylinder, but if I got blue paint instead of black, or a great deal was lacking a minor option, I'm willing to overlook those things for savings.   Used <> used. Condition and history are everything. If I'm buying used I'm looking for cream of the crop. The truck from the guy who religiously pampers it, and then decides a year later he wants newer and nicer. NOT the ex-rental vehicle, or the crew cab traded in by the family with 7 kids who like to throw food, and the oil only got changed when there was time long after the oil life monitor started alerting.

      OCI, not when but why?

      @Grumpy Bear the conclusion from your post about doubling engine life has me curious. Are we literally talking an expected life of 250,000 miles potentially becomes 500,000 miles with a step up in filtration for fresh oil at "the oil factory" when it's bottled? I know you said that's a single variable among many, but, that's significant if the implication extends that far into a real world use case. I would think the oil marketing folks would really eat that up and make it known.   Particles introduced during oil change is a fairly easy one to avoid, but probably not intuitive as one would think. I.e. using a clean funnel. But...what was it wiped with? Paper towel leaves behind little fibers. A solvent if not dried is not something one would want to introduce into their engine with clean oil. And, keeping the oil filler neck clean and free of buildup.. Look at some guys engine bays and they're an absolute mess. Some say that's better than the drawbacks of cleaning it. I'm not a buyer of that idea.   I've also wondered if "flooding" the top end of the engine with oil while filling is a bad idea. During normal lubrication the oil flows in a gutter back into the galleys. But if you flood the area you're potentially washing the top of the rockers, springs, and other areas which may not get much oil wash normally, and you're mixing all that into the new oil. I just don't have the patience to pour slowly. 😆

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      It was a bad pump, i had a dealer next day the pump. Gm part #86591535. Tools needed 10mm socket, pliers for hose clamps, 1/2gal of Dexcool. About 30mins to remove and install, pump located near oil filter on driver's side frame rail. I had a local mobile mechanic delete the code, he had a snap on scan tool. My scanner could not delete the code. I drove back home about 700 miles since then, and no check engine light. Hope this helps someone in the future in the same situation i was in. Thank you to all that helped me.

      Hi Gary, I guess it all boils down to personal preference and what you can afford. I, personally, buy new because I will know from day one how the vehicle is maintained and driven.
