It’s no secret that automakers have been struggling with part constraints for some time now, GM included. Now, GM Authority has learned that all 22-inch wheels for the 2023 Chevy Tahoe and 2023 Chevy Suburban are currently unavailable to order in conjunction with the vehicle.
Not just one, but all 22-inch LPO (dealer-installed) wheel options for the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban are not available to order. This includes seven different wheels (relevant pricing and RPO Code in parenthesis):
- 22-inch Bright Chrome wheels ($3,695, SF1)
- 22-inch Multi-spoke Chrome wheels ($3,695, SF2)
- 22-inch Multi-spoke Gloss Black wheels ($2,995,SGM)
- 22-inch Black wheels with selective machining ($3,295, SRL)
- 22-inch Multi-spoke Gloss Black wheels ($3,295, SRV)
- 22-inch Multi-spoke Chrome wheels ($3,695, SSI)
- 22-inch Multi-split spoke Chrome wheels ($3,695, SSW)

For a quick refresher, an LPO is a dealer-installed option. This means that an LPO wheel is shipped to the dealership to be installed on the vehicle at the dealer. In the meantime, the vehicle is shipped on placeholder steel wheels, and is spec’d from the factory in the proper alignment measurements. These placeholder wheels are then shipped back to GM after installation of the LPO wheel.
This isn’t the first time GM has pulled these wheels from the options list. Last year, the 22-inch wheels were made unavailable twice, once in January and a second time in September.
As a reminder, the 2023 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban are available with three engine options, including the atmospheric 5.3L V8 L84 producing 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the atmospheric 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine producing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine producing 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
Under the body panels, the 2023 Tahoe and Suburban ride on versions of the GM T1 platform, while production takes place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

I recently purchased a 2023 Chevy Tahoe premier and the dealership said the wheels are on “backorder.” We haven’t been able to take the vehicle home. Is there an update on these wheels? (It’s the SRV ones). I know they’re unavailable now, but this vehicle was built several months ago.
