Replying to: bradkennedy (Oct 04, 2007 1:48 pm) I've learned that the only way to know whether wheels will fit is to actually try them. And also be aware of possible differences in offset, not just whether the diameter is OK and the wheels clear the brake calipers. Try before you buy.   1offroader
#40 of 69 Need help picking tires for my truck by automan13 Nov 16, 2007 (7:55 pm)
I just bought a used truck of a local website www.chicagolandauto.com, not that it matters, but anyways its a 2003 GMC Sierra and has 50,000. The truck needs some new tires and have been looking around, but not sure what to get. I live in Chicago, so we do get some snow, but not a lot. I don't go off roading and don't really drive on the highways that much. Basically it is local roads. I am looking for a good tire for these conditions. I was thinking about Goodyear wrangler rt/s, but not sure. Anyone have any ideas of what a good tire would be. I did find this website that shows some ratings, but any help would be great. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ngler+RT% 2FS Replies to this message: obyone (Nov 17, 2007 5:47 am)

#43 of 69 New Wheels by hecaros Jun 09, 2008 (7:53 pm)
Hi everybody. I have a question, I hope some one can give me an aswer. I just put a new set of wheels, 20" to my SIlverdao CrewCab 2006. Everytime I brake it shakes. The fastest I am going at braking the harder it shakes. We check the brakes and resurface the rotors, the pads are in very good condition and has new tires. Can any one help. Thank you.
#45 of 69 16's or 17's on my 05 1500 Crew by tygrant Jul 31, 2008 (8:27 pm)
Can anyone tell me if I can use stock 16" wheels on my 2005 Chev Sierra CrewCab? It has custom 18"X10 wide wheels, too big. Tag on the door says it came with 265-70-17. I would like to use 265-70-16 or any that will give me about 31" in height. Will stock 16" fit over the hubs/ brakes. I get different answers from tire dealers. Does anyone know for sure?   I want the best MPG, how tall should the tires be? 2005 1500 5.3 4.10 ratio  Can someone tell me which code it is in the glove box the will tell me if this has posi trac? Thanks Ty Replies to this message: obyone (Aug 21, 2008 12:38 am) tygrant (Aug 27, 2008 11:00 am)

Unless there was an aftermarket brake kit added. Replies to this message: tygrant (Aug 27, 2008 11:00 am)

Replying to: heavychevy1 (May 06, 2007 5:18 am) I lifted my 07 2500 HD Duramax 2" New Body Style and put on Pro Comp 18" Classics with Nitto Grappler LT 285/65 R 18 Tires. The Steering and stability is terrible, Tried adjusting the pressures and doesn't help. GM says these trucks aren't capable of upgrading to a larger tire and lift because it will and does affect your shift points, handling and speedo sync. There is not a program from GM to compensate for your shift and speedo (imagine that) and if you go with an aftermarket programmer you will be replacing an engine and tranny, my buddy proved that . I have spent countless hours and $ trying to get the stock handling back with this set up to no avail.  If anyone has an answer to this I sure would like to know because it is a long day on a trip fighting the wheel BUT IT SURE LOOKS GOOD :} Replies to this message: tygrant (Aug 27, 2008 11:04 am) akjbmw (Feb 09, 2009 9:00 pm)
