'07 Wheels on my '05?

[JeepTherapy]

I've seen some Yukon wheels on eBay that I think would look good on my Sierra.

 

But it looks like the backspacing (or is it offset?) might be different?

The specs I see say the 2007 wheels are "+33" while I see that my 2005's should be "+22"

 

Clearly this is 11 off. I assume it's 11mm?? And in which direction?

 

Has anyone done this & how well does it fit?

 

Thanks

Yes, It would sound like they talking about mm. 25.4mm is equal to one inch. So that would be a little less then a half in more positive offset. + offset = wheel mounting point is toward the outer lip of the wheel. - offsett = wheel mounting point closer to the inner lip of the wheel.

 

As far as 07 wheels fitting on your 05, I don't know.

Heres a bulletin on this issue,Its for the 20's but the offset issue still applies....

Now that's interesting & good to know. So it sounds like the 2007 wheels would be 0.43" (11mm) offset from the 2005 wheels....but which direction? i.e. would they stick out more, or would they be too close to the wheelwells?

 

Thanks guys

I have 2007 Yukon 17" wheels on my 04 silverado and they fit perfectly... Here are some pics

Wow - thanks a TON. That helps a lot & the photos tell the whole story. I'm sold.

 

Now the question is: what size tires are those? I really like the way the tread pattern looks. How well do they work in wet weather? Would you recommend them?

 

And I assume your wheels are stamped "+33" somewhere?

 

I'm excited now - thanks!!

The tires are Goodyear Fortera Triple tread 275/60/17, they are 30" diameter just like the stock 255/70/16. The tires are rated for wet, dry, and snow. So far the traction is great, although I haven't driven them in snow yet. I have only had the tires on for 1500 miles, so its really tough to give a full report. I was between this tire and the Bridgestone alenza (sp).

 

I really never looked for the +33, so it may or may not have that labeled on the wheels. Overall I'm very happy with the wheels.

Those are only 17's ??? They struck me as larger diameter than that from the photos..???

Yep, only 17"... the design of the wheel makes it look bigger.

I wonder if the 2007 17's have the same offset as the 2007 20's...??

Hi unkleJ,

 

I have a 2004 Silverado running 255/70/16. I have a set of 17" factory wheels in the garage and was thinking of changing to 275/60/17. I am after better handling without too much of a sacrifice to ride quality. Can you fill us in on your experience?

 

Thanks,

Candido

[unkleJ]

Sure,

 

The ride is a bit stiffer, but nothing to be worried about. It could just be the brand of tire that I went with. Handling is very much improved. It is significantly flater in the corners and more sure-footed. On the down side the 17" wheel and tire combo that I used is 13 lbs heavier per corner, 63 vs. 50 for my old 16" aluminum wheels and 255/70/16 tires. At first, I believe I felt the added weight (because I'm super anal), but now it feels fine. It has to be way lighter than most of the 20" wheels out there.

 

I'm very happy with the setup.

Where did you find the specs for the wheels? I was looking to do the same on my '06 Silverado but couldn't find specs. I did find listings for a 1500 HD ? I do have the heavier weight pkg., I assume it is only the springs and shocks but is it different than the 1500 4x4.

Thanks Carl

[JeepTherapy]

They're cast into the backs of the wheels.
