SS wheel fitment on V6 1LE
Trying to determine if the OEM wheels from the SS 1LE will fit on the LT/V6 ILE. I recently bought a 2017 V6 that has some worn aftermarket wheels and am looking at stock options. Thanks!

Yes they will fit. You might need to grind down a little portion of the strut though - I forget, but I think the hob-to-strut flange on the non-MRC struts are a bit less clearanced than the MRC ones.

There's a 3.6% front increase and 1.2% rear increase in the number of tire revs per mile when going from the tires on the 1LE V6 to the tires on the SS 1LE. Not sure if that makes any real-world difference or not to whatever control modules are involved, although GM obviously uses a different calibration for the speedometer in each case.

It's the other way, the MRC take up a little more room. The wheels should fit without problems. Much of the suspension can easily transfer across trim levels as well

Interestingly enough, I have seen pictures of early SS 1LE struts/early MRC struts that have a different hub-to-strut flange than my SS 1LE and later SS 1LE's. The flange looked similar to the regular strut's flange instead of the sorta S-curved flange on my SS 1LE's strut flange. But, yeah, the regular strut flange does lend to more clearance for smaller wheels than 20's and reviewing photos, I can see the clearance on SS 1LE/ZL1 20's not being an issue between either. |
