What size are Silverado rims?
Silverado rims come in several factory sizes, most commonly 17, 18, 20, and 22 inches in diameter; the exact size depends on the truck’s year and trim. To determine your specific wheel size, check the door jamb placard, consult the owner’s manual or the dealer’s build sheet, and verify the wheel width and offset for proper fit.
Common wheel sizes you’re likely to encounter
The following sizes are the OEM diameters you’ll most often see on Silverado pickups. Exact availability depends on year, trim, and option packages, so always confirm for your specific vehicle.
- 17-inch wheels: Frequently found on base WT/Work Truck models and many entry-to-mid trims; can be steel or alloy depending on configuration.
- 18-inch wheels: Common on mid-level trims and several special editions; offers a balance between ride comfort and style.
- 20-inch wheels: Widely used on higher trims and some off-road or appearance packages; typically paired with performance-oriented tires.
- 22-inch wheels: Optional on select high-end trims (such as certain LTZ/High Country configurations) and some appearance packages; notable for a bold look and lower-profile tires.
Keep in mind that body style (crew cab vs. extended cab), drivetrain, and package options can affect wheel availability. Always verify your truck’s OEM size before buying replacements.
How to confirm your exact Silverado wheel size
To avoid mismatches when replacing rims, use these steps to identify the correct size for your vehicle:
- Check the driver-side door jamb placard for a line that lists the wheel size or rim size (for example, 17x8.0).
- Consult the owner’s manual or the original window sticker/build sheet for the factory wheel specification.
- Inspect the wheel itself; many OEM rims have size stamps on the inner barrel or backside that indicate width and diameter (e.g., Jx8.0).
- If you’re unsure, contact a Chevrolet dealer or GM Customer Care with your VIN to pull the exact original equipment wheel spec.
- When replacing wheels, verify compatibility of bolt pattern, offset (ET), and width, and ensure the tire size you plan to mount will fit without rubbing or clearance issues.
Once you confirm the size, you can ensure a safe, proper fit for replacements or upgrades. If you’re considering aftermarket rims, also account for suspension clearance, brake caliper clearance, and speedometer accuracy.
Additional considerations when replacing rims
Beyond diameter, pay attention to wheel width, offset, center bore, and bolt pattern. Silverado wheels and tires should maintain proper clearance to brakes, suspension components, and fenders. Large-diameter rims can affect ride quality and warranty coverage, so plan carefully and consult a professional if in doubt.
Summary
In short, Silverado rims are not a single fixed size—they come in multiple OEM diameters (17, 18, 20, and 22 inches, with availability varying by year, trim, and package). To ensure a correct fit, verify the exact size via the door placard, OEM manual or build sheet, wheel stamping, or a dealer VIN lookup before purchasing wheels or tires. Accurate sizing, width, and offset are essential for safe handling and proper clearance.
