Backspacing?

I've got three questions...

 

1. what is the backspacing on a stock wheel for a 2004 silverado 1500 z71

 

2. Im able to get a good deal on a set of 17x8" tahoe wheels with 5.5" of backspacing...would I be able to fit them on my stock truck with 285/70r17 tires?

 

3. and would this backspacing be a problem if I got a 3" lift on the truck?

 

I'm trying to get rid of the 20" aftermarket wheels that came with the truck when I got it...want to do more offroading.

 

hope you guys can help, cause whenever I look on the internet for something I can never find it.

i am pretty sure you are fine with that backspacing...i just put wheels on my truck 17x9's with a 4.5'' backspacing and you can fit those 285 on that wheel.

Measured my wheels while I had them off this weekend. They are 17x8's I guess (they actually measured 9 inches wide, but everybody says they are 8s). And they are 5.5" of backspacing. So sounds to me like the same wheels are on the Tahoes. And yeah, 285s would work fine on them.

as for them fitting with the lift, it depends on who makes the lift. i know procomp you can use a 5.5 in back space, but on something like a tough country they recomment a 4.5 so youd have to buy some wheel spacers in order for the wheels to not rub the spindles

      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.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
