Wheel sizes

Hired Goon · July 25, 2023

I have acquired a new set of 17 inch gm steel wheels and good year tires for free. They're 17 x 7.5 inch wheels and 265/70R17 tires. From what I've read on the web these will not fit my truck and the only difference I can find is they're17x 7.5 inch and my 2018 gmc sierra SLE uses 17x8 inch. I would like to use these for the salted winter roads and save my alloys.

Will these work

If they are the right bolt pattern they will. Work trucks came with 17X7 spare tires. The 265 width is a plus one size. Shouldn't rub anything. But pull a front a check. Stud torque is 140 pounds/ft.

IMHO; the steelies are more easier to care for than any other rim type!!!

Simple and dependable are more gooder; than fancy and a slave to, in order to keep looking nice.

Thanks for the replies

Bolt pattern and hub are all good, I tried one on the back

I will try one on the front to make sure it's not rubbing.

My spare is 265/70R17. Like I mentioned the only difference is, i think, the 08 to 13 had 7.5 inch width then they switched to 8 inch width from 14 up, As said I think

Not sure what year Sierra they came off

I'm like a racoon I like shiny things including wheels, the alloys are not hard to clean with ceramic wax coating on them.
