Hey guys, went to install my winter tires today on my 2019 At4; And what do you know the winter tires form my 2017 don’t fit. Looks like gm changes the offset and my 2017 17 inch rims hit the calliper. Anyone know the offset that the rim has to be on a 17 inch rim? Up here in the north the dealers want $300 a rim.

There's many topics on this and have been since the '19's came out. The offset has changed but that's not the biggest issue. GM went to a larger 4 piston brake caliper and it's now about the angle of the spokes. That's the issue you'll have with '14-'18 wheels. Not so much the offset but the spokes hitting the caliper because of the angle.

I’m sorta in the same boat.  Wanted to get a set of steelies for winter but can’t seem to find a used set.  I check Craigslist daily. Don’t really want to pay full retail on a new set from GM either.

Think there’s a few factory 2014-18 alloy wheels that will fit but you’re best bet is to stick with a 2019 wheel.

I have fairly new BFGOODRICH KO2’s that have the snowflake/mountain peak symbol that I’m going to run this year.  I’m also concerned about the salt destroying my rims but I’ll be sure to keep them clean.

You could try to see if there’s aftermarket steelies available.

I was actually playing around on the Costco website the other day and steel wheels came up for $69 each when I entered my truck info.  Just went on again this morning and the steel wheels aren’t showing up anymore.  They probably had issues clearing the calipers.

EDIT-when I select 2018 in the vehicle info, several steel wheel options appear, I’m betting Costco was having issues with the callipers.

The base 2019 trucks do have steelies and 255 wide tires which would be perfect for a winter set up.

look for someone offloading the base 17" wheels.  Usu cheaper than buying new wheels...

I’ve been trying. People still want 2-300 per wheel for factory take offs!

I looked into Costco too. Kal tire here told me the wheel has to have an offset of 14-25 in order to clear the calliper. It’s hard to find a set tho. Most of which I find are either +44 or +30. I have Nokian studded tires that I’m not willing to part ways with because they are awesome tires. So a 17 inch wheel is a must. I may just bite the bullet and order some aftermarket 17s and say screw the Steelies.

I’m probably going to wait a year or two then get a set of winter wheels/tires depending on how well my BFG’s perform.

I’m sure the inventory will improve as time goes by.

Snow is one thing, but black ice is a whole other can of worms!

I live in a hilly area and 4x4 doesn’t do jack shit when you’re sliding down a hill of shear ice!  Dedicated winter tires make all the difference in that situation!

I tend to avoid steep downhill sections around town on icy days unless I know the city has salted the shit out of those areas!

Bought a set of take offs last year and mounted Michelin Ice-x winter tires. I've always used winter tires and this set up didn't disappoint.

Do you have the new body style 2019?

What year truck did the take offs come from?

2019 RST with 18" OEM aluminum  wheels and sensors. My truck and the take offs were the same year and model.

So how much do you want for those steel wheels that don't fit your truck?

I’m checking the local Craigslist multiple times a day to see if there’s any take off steelies...absolutely nothing out there.

 

Lol, on a side note, lots and lots of people flogging off those POS Goodyear Wrangler tires!!

Costco Canada has some wheel options listed again for new 2019’s.

 

https://www.c-wheels.ca/en/fitmentsearch/result/index/?year=2019&make=GMC&model=Sierra+1500&submodel=Elevation

 

Anyone try them?

Anyone else have any luck with any other Inexpensive aftermarket wheels(steel or alloy) for winter on their trucks?

 

We went to Costco for new tires for my wife’s Explorer Sport a few months ago(burned through the factory high performance Hankook’s in 40,000 km) and we were quite happy with the price and service.  My wife loved the fact she could do her Costco shopping while they did her tires.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
