Known OEM Fitment For 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Values below are taken from available OEM information for this model year. Trims and packages can vary. If your truck’s placard or build sheet shows different specs, follow your OEM data. Use the on-page calculator and confirm against your door jamb tire label, owner’s manual, and GM service information.

Note: The wheel and tire data shown reflect configurations known for this model year but may represent different trims or packages. If your truck’s OEM wheel is not 18x8.5 ET24 or your tire is not 255/70R17, verify your exact OEM baseline using the tire placard and then simulate changes with the calculator.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

• Set the donor vehicle: Choose the vehicle the wheels come from. If you are just establishing a baseline, set both donor and installed vehicle to your 2014 Silverado 1500 and enter your OEM specs.
• Set your vehicle: Choose 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for “Installed on.” This is your target truck.
• Enter or adjust wheel size: Use “Custom wheel size” to try different rim diameters, widths, and offsets. The calculator shows inner clearance and outer poke changes compared to your baseline.
• Enter or adjust tire size: Use “Custom tire size” to change section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the calculator updates tire diameter in the comparison so you can keep overall diameter close to stock.
• Watch the results: Review inner clearance to struts, control arms, and liners, plus outer poke relative to the fender. Keep overall tire diameter as close as practical to OEM to maintain speedometer and gearing behavior.
• Finalize: Once a candidate setup looks safe on the calculator, verify physically by measuring brake caliper clearance and fender room, and confirm OEM data from your tire placard or manual.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern: Must be 6x139.7.
• Center bore: Hub on truck is 78.1 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore require hub-centric rings sized to your wheel’s bore and 78.1 mm inner. Do not force a smaller bore onto the hub.
• Thread size: M14 x 1.5. Match lug nuts to wheel seat type and thread.
• Offset and width: Use the calculator to ensure inner clearance to suspension and outer fender coverage stays acceptable. Avoid contact at full lock and full bump.
• Brake clearance: Confirm spoke and barrel clearance over calipers. Some designs need test fitting.
• Load rating: Wheels and tires must meet or exceed the truck’s axle and GVWR requirements shown on the door jamb label.
• TPMS: Plan to transfer or program sensors compatible with your 2014 GM system.
• Spare and rotation: Ensure the spare can be used safely with your chosen setup, or plan accordingly.
• OEM verification: If any values differ by trim, confirm with your door sticker, owner’s manual, RPO codes, or dealer parts catalog.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Many owners consider wider wheels or a different diameter for looks or tire availability. To keep drivability and minimize rubbing:

• Keep overall tire diameter close to stock. A common target is within about 3 percent of OEM. Use the calculator to compare diameter, sidewall height, and ground clearance changes.
• Stay near the OEM offset when possible. Small changes affect inner clearance to suspension and outer poke toward the fender. Use the calculator to visualize both directions.
• Confirm lock-to-lock clearance. Turn the steering fully left and right while compressing the suspension to check for liner and mud flap contact.
• If using aftermarket wheels with a larger center bore, add hub-centric rings sized to 78.1 mm inner to reduce vibration.
• If you level or lift the truck, re-check fitment in the calculator using your new ride height and then verify in the wheel well. Suspension changes can alter clearance.

Because 2014 Silverado 1500 trims can vary, do not assume a size that fits one truck will fit all. Confirm with the calculator and your OEM references before buying.

Installation Tips

• Safety first: Park on level ground, chock wheels, and support the truck with rated jack stands at proper frame or axle points. Do not rely on a jack alone.
• Clean mounting faces: Remove rust and debris from the hub and wheel mounting pad. Surfaces should be clean and dry.
• No lubrication on studs: Unless your GM service info explicitly calls for it, install lug nuts dry and clean.
• Hand start all lug nuts: Prevent cross-threading on M14 x 1.5 studs.
• Tighten in a star pattern: Use a torque wrench in 2 to 3 stages to reach the OEM torque specification in your owner’s manual. Do not impact to final torque.
• Re-torque: After 50 to 100 miles, re-check torque on all lug nuts.
• Hub-centric rings: If used, ensure they seat fully on the 78.1 mm hub and in the wheel bore. Do not stack rings.
• TPMS: Swap sensors to new wheels or install compatible sensors, then relearn per GM procedure.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

• 1/2 inch drive torque wrench
• M14 x 1.5 lug nuts matching your wheel seat type
• Hub-centric rings 78.1 mm inner sized to your wheel’s bore
• Tire pressure gauge
• Floor jack and rated jack stands
• Wire brush or hub cleaning tool
• Socket set and breaker bar
• TPMS tool if programming new sensors

FAQs

• What is the bolt pattern on a 2014 Silverado 1500?

  6x139.7.

• What center bore does the truck use?

  78.1 mm. If your aftermarket wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings sized to your wheel’s bore and 78.1 mm inner. If the wheel bore is smaller than 78.1 mm, it will not fit.

• Which lug nuts do I need?

  The studs are M14 x 1.5. Match the lug nut seat style to your wheel design, typically conical or mag seat. Verify seat type with the wheel manufacturer.

• What is the OEM wheel offset and size I can use as a baseline?

  A known OEM configuration is 18x8.5 with ET 24 mm and about 5.19 in backspacing. Use your own tire placard and the calculator to confirm your truck’s exact baseline, since trims can vary.

• My OEM tire shows 255/70R17. Is that correct?

  255/70R17 is an OEM tire size seen on this model year. Multiple OEM wheel and tire packages existed. Verify your placard, then enter that size into the calculator for accurate comparisons.

• Can I use wheels from another truck or SUV?

  Possibly. Use the calculator’s “Wheels from (donor vehicle)” against “Installed on (your vehicle).” Confirm bolt pattern 6x139.7, center bore compatibility with 78.1 mm, suitable offset and width, brake clearance, and correct lug hardware.

• What lug nut torque should I use?

  Refer to the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 owner’s manual or GM service information for the exact torque spec for your trim and wheel type. Tighten in a star pattern and re-torque after 50 to 100 miles.

• Are spacers safe to run?

  Quality hub-centric spacers that match 6x139.7 and M14 x 1.5 hardware can be safe when installed correctly and torqued to spec. They add complexity and can change scrub radius. Measure carefully, ensure full thread engagement, and re-torque regularly.

• Will bigger tires rub?

  That depends on width, offset, and suspension height. Keep overall diameter near stock and use the calculator to check inner clearance and outer poke. Always test lock-to-lock on the truck before committing.
