Introduction

I’m in the process of upgrading my Chevy High Country and I’m looking to install some new 20 inch rims. I’ve done some research, but I wanted to reach out to the community for advice.

What to Consider

When selecting new rims, I’ve found there are several factors I need to consider:

  • Fitment: Will they fit my Silverado/Tahoe without any modifications?
  • Weight: I’m concerned about how the weight of the rims might affect my truck’s performance.
  • Style: Aesthetic enhancement is important to me, so I want something that looks great.
  • Durability: I frequently drive on rugged terrain, so I need rims that can stand up to that.

Questions for the Community

  1. Recommendations: What brands or specific models do you recommend for 20 inch rims that fit well with High Country trucks?
  2. Installation Tips: Are there specific installation tips I should keep in mind?
  3. Where to Buy: Any good online marketplaces (like Amazon or eBay) where you have found good deals?
  4. Experience: What’s your experience with aftermarket rims? Any issues you ran into after installation?

Conclusion

I appreciate any advice you can provide as I navigate this decision. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey everyone! I’m looking to upgrade to 20 inch High Country rims. What are some solid tire options that I should consider?

For 20 inch rims, I’d recommend the Nitto Terra Grappler. They perform well off-road and on-road, with good traction and durability. Expect to pay about $200 to $300 per tire.

I’ve heard great things about the Michelin Premier LTX too. It’s got excellent wet and dry traction, but you might be looking at $240 or so per tire. Worth the investment if you want longevity!

5

That’s a solid point. How do you think the performance differs between all-terrain and highway tires?

All-terrain tires offer better traction in rough conditions, while highway tires like the Michelin are more suited for on-road comfort and fuel efficiency. Go with what fits your driving style!

If you’re off-roading a lot, do NOT skip the Goodyear Wrangler. They handle rough terrains like a champ, but they can be a bit noisy on highways. They range from $180 to $230 per tire, depending on the size!

8

Exactly! So for daily drivers, sticking to good highway tires seems like a smarter choice, right?

9

I agree! However, for occasional off-road trips, a versatile option could be ideal. I’m thinking of mixing it up with a set of all-terrains for fun weekends.

10

That sounds like a good plan! Do you have any specific all-terrain brands in mind?

11

I’m leaning toward the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2. They’re rugged and reliable, though they might also run a bit pricier, around $250 each.

I guess you could say it’s worth the price if you plan on hitting the trails regularly! A high-quality all-terrain tire can really elevate your off-road experience.

13

When installing 20 inch high country rims, make sure to have a lug wrench, jack, and torque wrench handy. Properly torquing the lug nuts is crucial to avoid issues later on.

14

Great point! Also, double-check that your rims are compatible with your vehicle’s brake components. You don’t want any surprises!

15

Installing rims can be tricky if you’re not used to it! Be prepared for stiff lug nuts, and a little elbow grease may be necessary!

16

Haha, yes! I learned that the hard way! Also, consider using anti-seize on the lug bolts to prevent them from getting stuck later.

17

Don’t forget to regularly check the tire pressure and inspect the rims for any visible damage or corrosion. It’s a simple maintenance habit that pays off!

Absolutely! And be careful when washing your rims—harsh chemicals can damage the finish.

What do you recommend for cleaning? I used a pressure washer once; it wasn’t a good idea!

Haha! Best to stick to a mild soap and soft brush. No need for a power trip when cleaning your rims!
