Just got a 2020 Silverado crew cab custom truck. First ever truck and stuck on what size rims to throw on them. 20 or 22s? Don’t do much off roading but like the bigger tires.  Let me know what you guys think and what size you used on your trucks.

 

I just installed the Rhino running boards.

I would keep the wheel you have on. They look really sharp. Maybe put a slightly bigger tires.

 

Good luck. Nice looking truck. Looks very sharp comparing to my chromy LT.

Thank you for the input. I really want to black everything out so that’s the main reason I’m looking into new wheels. And yea I got the short bed crew cab, bigger Cab to fit the family in.

Congratulations on your new truck, and welcome to the forum.

 

Be a little bit more specific, do you want factory, aftermarket, what type of tires, what is your budget?

I was thinking after market wheels would be my best bet. But I was looking today that Chevy makes all black wheels!. I’m thinking 33in A/T tires.

I have the elevation black 20”s but looking for 20x10 wheels on 33s. Trying to figure out if I need to do a level to do so. 
 

Fuel has some pretty nice wheels and

go with a quality tire. Bf KO2, nitto tera grappler, falken wildpeaks.

20's will ride better than 22's in my opinion. More sidewall.

.02  all depends upon what you want and how it's used........22's ride better, but less performance.

 

Had 17"s, 18"s, 20"s and 22"s on my '07, '11, '12 Avalanches and '16 and '19 Silverados. Granted suspensions differed from coils to leafs.  In general the more aggressive the tread more noise, more slippage in turns on wet pavement, the larger the sidewall the smoother but more sloppy the ride especially in sharp hairpins and emergency maneuvers. 

 

Very little off roading and very few potholes and road hazards....even thh gravel and crush-and-run roads fairly well maintained......no more crapo NY/NJ traveling. So this time went for the 22"s with less aggressive treads, less noise, smoother on paved roads, but harsher on rough roads and above all better in performance. When new seemed to hop more than my '16 Z71 which had aggressive treads, but with a road force balance and 5K of suspension break in....the harshness disappeared, no more rear axle hopping.....in fact none at all even on the same roads and in peel outs from a turn. And the performance is well worth any detractions from a narrower sidewall......the R22/275 Bridgestone Alenzas give a nice controllable ride, necessary in the '19s with their heavy raking & larger turning radius............no more rear axle breakouts or tire sliding in a fast U-turn......and performance in rain soaked roads is exceptional.

I would agree with this statement. I went from 22" snowflake wheels on my last truck to 18" wheels on this one and the ride is much better. I would try to find some of the 20" factory black wheels.

Just go onto wheelpros.com and plug in your truck. They have a ton of aftermarket wheels, and OE creation wheels that are half the price of OEM wheels. 

 

I have also had 17's all the way up to 22's and the bigger the sidewall the better the vehicle will ride. With that being said. I will sacrifice "a little" ride quality for bigger 22 inch wheels. I love the looks of them, and too me, the ride is not very noticeable.  

 

You have a nice wheel. I would take them to a paint shop and have them painted. Just my 2 cents.

Aftermarket wheels = garbage

 

You want less wheel and more tire on these trucks. 20's with 35" tires or 17/18's with 33's is what you want. 

 

Get some more aggressive looking tires and you would like your wheels a lot better.  Aftermarket wheels are for poors/posers...

Thank you everyone for the Input. I think I’m going to go with the thicker tires and try to get a hold of the all black wheels Chevy makes.

Agree...

 

I think it looks awesome, some contrast is very nice.......all blacked out is so drab IMHO. 

Very sharp truck

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
