My 2018 Platinum Max is scheduled to arrive in mid-January. This is our family workhorse and it will be driving up to the mountains multiple times a week on snow/Ice covered roads. On our current SUV I run Blizzaks from Nov-Mar.
I didn’t want the 22” rims on the Expy but we did want the Platinum. Not a huge deal since we swap out our wheels each fall. So I have a few questions:
- I’ll likely land up with 20” wheels for the winter. I assume it’s not an issue to swap the stock 22s with 20s? I have zero understanding of the CCD system but I assume that despite it coming with stock 22s, it’s not an issue to put 20s on it?
- I’ve used tire rack in the past for a full tire/wheel package. Because they haven’t gotten their hands on an Expy yet, they won’t sell me a 20” wheel. They said: “Needed information would be not just bolt circle, but also hub diameter and extension, brake caliper clearance, offset, load capacity, pad depth, etc. As soon as we can get a car in and have a better idea of the measurements, we will be happy to get the fitment on our system.“ Is there a way around this? Can I get I info on the stock 20s on the Limited and pass it on? Can I point to a specific wheel out there that we know works? Any other recommended tire dealers? I’m just trying to get ahead of the game. I don’t want to take delivery in mid-Jan and face a trip to the mountains without the right wheels! I asked my dealer and the parts guy quoted me a package that was 2x the price that I could pay elsewhere. Not interested.
Thanks for any info.
