Looking at upgrading my current 2016 aluminum 17" PPV option rims and Goodyear RSA's to some take off 2016 Denali 20" rims/tires. Any PPV owners gone down this road before me? While the TPMS gear transfer over from the 17" rim to the 20" rim? I know I will have to get my speedo recalibrated with an aftermarket tuner or a dealership computer reflash. Anything I am forgetting? Thanks for any insight.

Not completely sure but you may need to have the alignment checked also. Not sure if the tire/rim package will alter the geometry.

The TPMS will work from your original wheels, however the Denali wheels should already have TPMS from the factory that will work...also the 275/55R20 will only sit about 2" higher so the speedo shouldnt be off by much...if you go to a 275/45R20 you will basically be as the same height as your PPV wheels and the speedo shouldnt be off at all

+1 on the alignment, anytime any geometry is changed, I think its a great idea.

Wait, "aluminum 17" PPV option rims"? I'm not seeing anything in the wheel listings for Tahoes, what wheel is that?

Edit: Okay, it looks like it's P/N: 23173537, code Q5U. Got any pictures of that wheel? It's GOTTA be lighter than the steelies!

Thought I would update this thread. After a bunch of "just sold them" finds on The local Craigslist, I finally scored a set of BRAND NEW take off 20" chrome Denali 10 spokes with new factory Continental tires. Lucked out and the Chevy center caps from my police wheels popped right in place of the GMC caps.

Listened to your advice and had the truck aligned after upgrading to the 20" rim from the 17" rim. As suspected, the geometry did not change with a rim swap alone, and no adjustment needed.

Ride quality improved 10 fold--cop tires are very unforgiving. My PPV is no longer "pursuit certified" but it looks and drives much better.

I still need to have my computer reflashed for the new size tire. Anyone know what that costs from the dealership?

Size difference is crazy! Those tires on the 17s look way too small to be on a full size suv. Lol. The swap looks great! Those denali wheels look good, especially on your color tahoe!
