I'm looking to buy a set a wheels that will fit my 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew cab. I'm open to anything 18" to 20" I do not want the "low rider" look as I do a lot of hunting/fishing in remote areas as well as construction. I'd prefer a "beefy look" If any one is selling wheels that would fit or have any suggestions please let me know. Pics would also be appreciated. Send me a message and I'll get you my contact info....Also, I'm located in the Pittsburgh area. Thanks!

I know you said 18-20" is what you're looking for. I've got the oem Z71 style 17" cast aluminum wheels and GOODYEAR AT/S 265-70X17" tires that came off my '07 Silverado crew cab for sale in the classifieds. I don't think you can beat the price. Shipping is flat rate UPS or FEDEX.

(Maybe this is what came on your truck oem as well?)

I found a set of new vehicle take off 20" LTZ cast aluminum wheels and GOODYEAR LS2 tires. My truck is 2wd so I'm not into off road use.

I will note that the lower profile 20" tires on my truck produce a much less cushy ride than the oem 17" tires.

In my case, my new truck isn't actually a Z71. I bought a 2wd truck with the Z85 suspension. GM seems to use the same generic style cast aluminum wheels on most of the new body style truck models, I've seen locally. That's one of the reasons I wanted to change the wheels out so I could pick my truck out in the parking lot. :happysad:

Curious.....why do people buy Z71s and put street 20s on them?

1st-obviously it looks cool, 2nd-most dont off road, 3rd-they make off road tires for 20"

Have you tried price checking with your local Discount Tire or Tire Kingdom, etc? I got my 16x8 American Racing Bajas for about 660 total.

 

And if you have to get tires at the same time, most places will offer a kind of package deal for you.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
