tire rim size size

Post by eugene12 »

Ok i have a 2011 silverado wt and on the door for tire size it reads 17x7x5j so the question is what does the 5j stand for? the size i need for the rim cant i just buy a 17x7 rim not familiar with the 5j at all. guess i just need to know what the rim size is going to have to be and what the j is.

I looked at pictures of the sticker and you are correct that a "j" or even "jj" is present. I think you would need to ask a GM parts counter agent.

The "JJ" that you mentioned finding on the wheel size listed for the units mounted to your trailer refer to the contour of the bead seat on the wheel, essentially its shape ( "J" indicates the shape of the letter J).May 31, 2018
