Hello members. This is my first posting. I have a 2016 crew cab Silverado. I bought it new and it now has 20000 miles. I have a set of aftermarket Dub 22’s with a 285/45/22 tire that I ride on during the summer months here in Michigan. I want to upgrade to a larger summer wheel. Possibly a 26” with a 305/30/26 tire. I know big wheels aren’t popular with some people but, I like the look. My choice. I’m not the biggest fan of lowered or lifted trucks, but I’ve seen some nice one’s and if you like it I’m happy for you. It’s your money, your choice. My question is how is the overall ride quality riding on 26’s? I’m thinking it will be sport car firm. And what problems if any have you experienced with 26 inch wheels as far as blowouts, dents, or suspension problems? I would greatly appreciate any info. The more detailed the better. Thank you.

Hello all. I own an 18 Silverado 1500 LT , double cab, 6’6” box, 6 spd transmission, I have opted to put 26” status alloy empire wheels with tire size of 305/26/30. Stock transmission gave out. They said torque converter and pump went out then everything else went with it. Was able to replace the entire unit with a remanufactured from GM. 1 month later, back to the shop (dealer). They covered the repairs because it was under warranty but if it goes out again they won’t because they believe it is the rims causing the trouble. However they will cover if it goes out with stock wheels. Which I will be putting back on. Has anyone else experienced issues with this type of truck and 26” wheels? I did research the “Unsprung weight” makes some sense, however only the transmission gave out, not my drive shaft, drive shaft knuckles, diff, just the goofy transmission which I know the 8 speed has had their share of ongoing things. Anyone with info ,thought , something sketched on a cocktail napkin would be greatly appreciated. I do thank you all for your time on this.
