GMC Sierra 2500 Tire Sizes & Rim Dimensions by Year and Trim

The GMC Sierra 2500 comes in various trims and model years, each with specific tire size markings and rim dimensions. Tire sizes vary primarily by trim, with common sizes ranging from 17 to 20 inches in diameter and rim widths between 7.5 to 9 inches.
