Was wondering if anyone else is having issues with upgrading their OEM wheels?ive got a 2021 LT 2WD with 20” tires and wheels and wanted to change over to the High Country wheels. 
 

keep hearing that they won’t fit? Anyone else aware of this issue? Something to do with the brake calipers or wheel liners???

They'll fit.  As long as it's a wheel for 2019 up.  2018 wheels don't work because of the larger 4 piston calipers on the '19. Here's my 22" wheels on my 2019 RST.

Any wheels from a new body to new body fit.  So 2019-2021 High Country wheels would fit literally any other 2019+up T1 1/2 ton.  

 

Its taking wheels from a 2014-2018 truck and trying to put them on a 2019+up where the problem lies.  Those wheels don't clear the front calipers.

Well I’m definitely confused shinty is now because the dealer is telling me the opposite of that. For example - I have a 2021 Crew carb LT 2wd and they are telling me that the factory wheels off a high court will not fit on my truck. That they’ll rub on turns???

BS... they don't know what they're talking about.  Nothing to be confused about.  They'll fit.  Be sure the tires are OEM size 275/50/22 . A 305/45/22 may rub but still doubt they would.

It's possible they could rub on the 2wd model since the front does not have as much clearance as the front on a 4wd.

 

To check, just go to the Chevy website and see if it lets you build a 2wd with 22" wheels. Or search inventory for a 2wd w/22's.

Nope.  I have a 2wd, High Country's come in 2wd and many friends have put 22's on 2wd's and no rubs.  There's a thread on here of many members with 2wd's that put 22's.

Just make sure the offset is below +29. 
 

2018 and down will fit with a 3mm or 5mm spacer. You will not rub on 285/45. I have a 2wd 2020 and have no issues. 

It's not just the offset but the angle of the spokes.  I wouldn't run a 285/45/22.  That's OEM for 2018 down and too short for the '19 up.  A 275/50/22 with a '19 up High Country wheel will not rub. Period.

I’m sure the angle of the spokes is more important than the offset 🙄. 
 

From a stock 20 to a stock 22 tire, there is still some height difference, all I am saying is, you will not rub on a 285/45. Also, you will not rub on a 275/50/22 as it is stock for a 19/21 Sierra, better?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
