What size rims can I put on a 1500 Silverado?
We recommend staying between 17-22 for the best balance of performance and ride quality. Going bigger than 22 starts hurting ride quality and increases the chance of wheel damage off-road. Most serious off-road builds stick with 17-20 wheels for maximum tire sidewall and durability.If you want comfort and better fuel efficiency, 18-inch wheels are your best bet. But if you’re into performance, sharp handling, and a sporty look, 20-inch wheels might be worth the trade-off for a slightly bumpier ride.This makes them ideal for highway driving where confident handling matters most. The larger diameter increases rotational inertia, which despite requiring more acceleration energy, contributes to that planted highway feel.

Do 22 inch rims affect gas mileage?
Larger wheels = 4-10% decrease in fuel efficiency due to increased weight and rolling resistance. Smaller wheels = better MPG, less strain on engine and drivetrain. While larger rims themselves don’t directly damage transmissions, they can increase strain on the drivetrain. The added rotational mass and changes in effective gear ratios can cause transmissions to work harder, potentially leading to increased wear if not properly compensated for.
