Dumb question but I have a 2021 Chevy Silverado LT. I have an opportunity to get some 2021 GMC at4 20in tires and rims. I was wondering if anybody's had experience installing these? Do they need any modifications? My current tire size is 255/70r17 and the AT4 are 265/60r20

31s versus 32.5.  That's a good question that I don't have the answer to.  You could always add the AT4 lift kit to be safe.  And, the bigger wheel/tire means you'd need to recalibrate the speedo.  Since they're factory size wheels and tires you might be able to get that done at the dealer.

My 2021 Silverado LT came with 275/60 20. Fitment wise there's no issue. Not lifted.

@Spuds1701, let us know if you have luck with getting a dealer to do the recalibration Transient is talking about.  I went to war with my dealership I made the purchase from to no avail.  They said that GM wouldn't give them the code since I had a 17" spare...which is also what comes when you get the truck with 20s.  (Albeit a different tire size, but they specifically told be because of the 17" spare, not the tire size.). The TSB for the recalibration is PIT3271K.

 

Im still trying dealerships, I have one that said they can do the recalibration for $80, but I'm trying to find more than one that can tell me yes.

 

Good luck!

My Trail Boss LT came with a 17" spare, but 18s are on all 4 corners.  Dealers using that as a justification to not do something is just being stupid.  What will they say if I want to put 20s out 22s on my truck?  "Nope.  Won't do it because you have a 17" spare."  Tarradiddle defined.

They will bolt up just fine.  Get your speedometer calibrated if you want to, or don’t.

I finally just heard back from the dealer on trying to get my speedo recalibrated for AT4 wheels and it was a no go.  the AT4 has 275/60/20 whereas the 20" option on the Silverado was 265/60/20 so they were "told by GM" there was "no software" for this combination on my vehicle.

 

Trying to decide if I want to risk going with a Pulsar or not, though my truck is brand new and I want no Warranty issues if I should need to use Warranty Service.

Just be aware that going from a 17" tire to a 20 or 22 will give you a harsher ride. the shorter the sidewall the harder the ride.  I guess that some of you would consider me old fashioned, but I don't understand why anyone would want the 20 or 22  rims. If you live in a cold climate the larger rims could cause issues with using tire chains. Check your owners manual for tire sizes that permit the use of chains. My last two Silverado Z71s came with 18" tires. I find the ride and handling to  be fine with them, my wet traction improved after switching to Michelin Defender tires from the factory  Goodyear's.

Your dealer is incorrect, the stock 20 inch tire size on a Silverado is a 275/60/20 the same as the AT4.

Put them on and send it. It’ll fit. Half inch here or there isn’t going to do much. My winters are a 1/2” smaller because I have the factory 20” rims with a 33” tire on my LT and I went with an 18” steelie for winter. Try finding a common 33” winter tire thats reasonably priced and fits a 18” rim. 265/70/18 was the closest that was somewhat common size. 
 

Keep in mind, you go from a road tire to an a/t tire, both the same size in paper, they will probably sit different on the truck. As they wear they’ll change too.

Perhaps they are going strictly by my Trail Boss LT Trim level?  If I go to PIT3271K and follow their instructions, the following screenshot is the build out from Chevy website with the 20" option on a Trail Boss LT showing 265/60/20 and not the 275/60/20.  No idea why Trim Level would dictate this, especially since the TB comes with factory lift and would have no issues with larger tires.

 

I get everyone saying it is OK to throw them on, I was just trying to do my due diligence to have everything done right as if it were with the 20s from the factory.

My 2021 RST Z71 has 275/60/20, from Chevy website.

I guess it is trim level based then, and even though it is avail on other trims dealer (or GM) is being hard about it.  Seems I have wasted enough time trying to do it thru the dealer and will either just install or grab PULSAR LT and go that route.

Hypertech also has a module just for speedo recalibration, plug and play as well, if you don't need or want all the features of the Pulsar. I think Rough Country sells a Hypertech rebranded model too.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.
