Ok to put 20" rims on 2024 Tahoe High Country that came with 22" rims

[photios]

I just purchased a 2024 Tahoe High Country, that comes stock with 22" rims. In fact, all Tahoes with the High Country trim level come with 22" rims, and there is no way to order one otherwise. I don't want my 22" rims and would like to put 20" ones on. I'm wondering... is there something I don't know about that would necessitate the High Country trim vehicles to have 22" rims?

I want to replace the rims as soon as possible but need this question answered before I do so. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

No problem changing to 20” rims. I use 18” rims for winter tires on my High Country.

Might want to match the outer tire diameter to the stock tires to keep the various computer systems happy. Smaller wheels with bigger tires would probably give a nicer ride too.

Thank you for the responses. What concerned me is that when I try to build a Town and Country trim with 20" rims, the Chevy website will not let me. Also, when I go tire shopping and put in my vin or model information, the tire sites only show me 22" tires. That's what go me confused.

Those are just trim packages offerings. As you've seen here, you can absolutely put 20"s on your truck after-the-fact.

Just be aware that if you go with aftermarket rims (or factory rims from previous models), you'll have to pay attention to the offsets of the new rims and make sure that they'll fit on these trucks.

I run 20's from a Sierra w/ the Stock 20" 275/60R20 size. Difference in tire diameter from the 275/50R22 size is negligible...

I just replaced my 22" stock wheels with 20" takeoffs from a GMC Denali. I'm in Seattle... I cannot believe this, but Discount Tire did it for free! I will always get my tires from there!

Is there a chance this could allow Chevrolet to void my current and extended warranty? These are the 275 60 20's, which is the stock size for most Tahoe trims other than High Country.

Factory wheels that came on other models? I can't imagine how/why they'd void anything.

I have had my rig at my GMC dealer w/ the Sierra 20's on, and they did warranty work on it no questions asked...

What do you mean Discount Tire did it for free, didn't you buy tires from them for them to mount?

I agree, DT has good service...they do my annual winter/summer bolt on swap for me for free...

Only issue w/ DT is all they do is tires -- if ever a lug stud breaks, etc...you are SOL...

I purchased "take-offs" from an online dealer, and they swapped out my take-offs for the mounted 22's. They programmed the new tpms sensors and even bagged and loaded the 22's into the Tahoe. I have purchased tires from them in the past... perhaps I'm in the system as a customer....?

Oh my gosh, heaven forbid that that ever happens!

I purchased 20" take-offs from an online retailer and they swapped the 20s for the original 22s. Perhaps they did this for free because I'm in their system as a customer having purchased tires from them in the past...?

I've had 3x occurances of a cross threaded lug nut at DT, of course you don't find out until you try to remove it...
My fave was on my daughters Honda CR-V, with only 4 lug studs total, they bolted her up with 3 of the four and said "we broke this one, you will have to go get it fixed at a mechanic." And sent her on her way.
Was a Saturday afternoon, about 3pm, and she had a 200 mile road trip planed to leave right after the tire swap.
We managed to find a Midas to swap the lug stud...they found antoher on the same wheel cross threaded (recall the guy had just broke one taking it off..and cross threaded one of the 3 remaining putting it back on).
The Midas got them both done...then I fond out when I removed it later, Midas used conventional lug nuts vs. the required Honda acorn style...

Everyone bashes the dealer...but I will say have never had a dealer whiff on threading lug nuts!

I had new tires installed on my wifes 2022 high country tahoe at discount tire as soon as she bought it. About a week later, she said it sounds like the rear end is going out or something. Huh. When she came home that day and was backing down the driveway i was standing there just listening trying to figure out the noise. Yep, just what i thought…popped the center cap iff the back passenger tire and two of the lug nuts were just rolling around in there, a few other loose. I just dont understand. I have rotated my tires and done brakes in my driveway for the last 25+ years, never once had a lug nut come loose.
