The wheels I showed a pic of are actually on a 90's model chevy truck that some one must have liked and they fit so they went with them.... Artie1 you are right the newer model trucks did switch to metric and I thought I read some were that it was 2013....
These wheels are 2003 threw 2012.... I and the guy Donnie at the junk yard looked them up.
Again another something that I dont believe anyone else would have on their van.... if you hadnt caught on I usually do things that others dont or wouldnt or hadnt thought of doing its what makes us all different. The wheels on my van are a stock wheels ( older ) chevy. They look good....but anyone can bolt them on...... not everyone would get these wheels or even think of trying them.
I wouldnt think the majority of people here on this forum or any were else would take the drastic measure of doing what I did with the steering coulmn to achieve what they want.... as far as ( a can of worms ).... thas some what hipocrital coming from a guy that took the body off a chassis to replace a motor that wasnt designed for the van.
Or if it actually did come in the express vans regardless.. you get my point.

245/70R17. First year was 2009 on chevy express
Over all height 30.5 in tall

245/75R16...... stock on most express vans are 30.5 in tall

The key here is keeping the over all diameter the same or as close as you can....
With the wheel tire combo I have I wouldnt want to go any taller I know the tire would hit the New mud flaps I installed if I went 1 inch bigger.

Tire height isn't the only factor regarding hitting, and fenders aren't the only thing they can hit. A wider tire could easily hit a fender, even if the height is smaller. To borrow a phrase from a old Star Trek movie, "It shows 2 dimensional thinking".

STAN
your right about the width of the wheel and tire.
Its crazy that I would think that the width of a tire and wheel would matter.... LMAO

I have installed my new ELM327 and paired it to my Tablet....
I ran that ELM program that was talked about earlier in this thread.
here are the results of the Newer ELM 327

I put another 11 miles on the van today...
tried to get the Torque program to run which I did....
but according to the program... I have NO temp sensor for the
transmission... this is the page I have..
According to the program if its not in GREEN... then its not gonna work...

I found this on another Forum I believe they actually made a ( PID ) for the oil pressure.

For users of Torque Pro, I was able to find the (hidden) PID for Oil Pressure. This works on my 2005 Yukon XL using. I think they changed the PIDs in 2006 as the standard GM PID provided in the extended PIDs in Torque does NOT work on my 2005. You'll need to go to Settings-Manage extra PIDs/Sensors-...-Add custom PID to enter the following values

PID: 22115c
Long Name: Oil Pressure PID
Short Name: Oil Pressure
Minimum Value: 0
Maximum Value: 100
Scale: x1
Unit: psi
Equation: (A*0.65)-17.5
OBD Header: Auto

I cannot take credit for figuring this out. I poached it off the LS1GTO forums (user GTOzilla)

I have confirmed this matches the dash gauge closely, but don't have a ScanGaugse or other tool to validate this.

So what I am thinking there has to be a program for the Trans Temp....

And I found what they say works.... but I have yet tried it.... lol
I will tomorrow....

1. Open Torque
2. Go to "Settings"
3. Select "Manage extra PIDs/Sensors"
4. Go to the menu in the top right, and select "Add Predefined Set"
5. Select "Pontiac / GM / Opel / Vauxhall"
6. Add a new display anywhere in the app
7. Select "Transmission Fluid Temp (GM Method 2)"
8. Profit

For Fahrenheit, add this formula:
(A-40) * 1.8 + 32
Works great for me.

Teammuir1

There are some holes in this formula....
I followed step by step.. and yet once
you get to the step 6 it to me just does not make since..
so if any one has done this already.. please fill me in
on what I am Not understanding...

Teammuir1

What I dont get.. the van has an Oil pressure gauge...
yet the app does not work for oil pressure.... lol
I also check for out side temp.. NOPE...
so I am lost... I will prolly spend endless hours
looking up PID's for the Torque app.. lol
I just dont get it ........Yet ......
