Re: Anyone have problems with 20" rims???
 

Man, the dealership gets me worried. Thank to you all for your info. To be honest I really havent noticed that much of a difference in mileage so far. Thanks again to you all, I can sleep easy tonight.

Re: Anyone have problems with 20" rims???
 

Talking about rims .. I quite like the standard hybrid rims. Has anyone got any thoughts of having them powder coated another colour?

My Tahoe is black, and thought black rims might improve its look.

What do you guys think?

Hi Rob,
I have not thought about it but it should be no problem to powder coat as they are aluminum.

Re: Anyone have problems with 20" rims???
 

I have been running 20" for a while. The ride is a bit stiffer and I have lost about 1-2 mpg. But part of that could be my driving.

Re: Anyone have problems with 20" rims???
 

I have been rolling with 20s and 22s and no problem so far..........just wish for the Tech2 guys to unlock the tire radius change, as in the normal trucks. Sure they can set the same power train for the hybrids to use 18s 20s and 22s, but wont let the dealers do so...that sucks!

I just avg 19+mpg so far, but my wife tahoe on 22 with 305-40-22 avg 21-22mpg all the time...and she brags a lot. Got to learn my self to control my lead foot !

Re: Anyone have problems with 20" rims???
 

Gabe for that lead foot of yours you should add the Volant air intake system, Pulstar Plugs and BMG High Performance leads, also have a look at the Volant exhaust.

Re: Anyone have problems with 20" rims???
 

Thanks again, I got your list from the other post !!!
Do you have all this mods? How it works for you?

Re: Anyone have problems with 20" rims???
 

I have all the mods, excellent MPG averaging 31MPG currently.:shade:

Re: Anyone have problems with 20" rims???
 

31mpg on the Hoe....just one word.... impressive !!!!!!

Looking for them right now at Summit, any special place you recommend to look for them?

Re: Anyone have problems with 20" rims???
 

Gabe,
Go to Volant direct and talk with the VP and the fact you have a Hybrid. Also make sure if you order the Air Inlet system That you recieve the Blue Power core Filter, this is important. Also maybe you can get a deal if you order the air inlet system and exhaust pipe at the same time. Pulstar plugs and the high performaance leads you should be able to get at Summit. Remember not to drop a plug when you are completing the installation, I did and it cost me an additional plug. Also on the Tahoe you have to ttake off the inner Left hand fenner well to install the plugs.:shade:
