   2021 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban 1500 Owner's Manual (PDF metadata title: "2021 Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban 1500 Owner's Manual", author Chevrolet, created 2020-08-17). Downloaded and text-extracted. Technical Data > Capacities and Specifications, printed page 399 (PDF page 402), table row quoted verbatim: "Wheel Nut Torque | 190 Y | 140 lb ft" - the "Y" glyph is this table's N-m symbol, i.e. 190 N-m. Only one torque value appears. Cross-referenced at printed p.352 (PDF 355), Tire Rotation: "Check that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See 'Wheel Nut Torque' under Capacities and Specifications 398." Factory tire sizes, "High Speed Operation Inflation Pressures" table, printed p.348 (PDF 351), quoted verbatim: "265/65R18 114T / 275/55R20 113V (2WD) / 275/55R20 113V (4WD) / 275/60R20 115T / 275/50R22 111H". Printed p.357 (PDF 360) adds a fitment-relevant clearance warning: "If the vehicle has 275/60R20 or 275/50R22 size tires, do not use tire chains. There is not enough clearance." Printed p.366 (PDF 369): with 265/65R18 or 275/55R20 the flat stores in the under-body carrier; with 275/60R20 or 275/50R22 the flat "must be stored inside of the vehicle". I text-searched the entire 435-page file for "bolt circle", "bolt pattern", "139.7", "6 x 5.5", "M14", "hub bore", "center bore" and "stud" - zero relevant hits; the only "offset" hit is the generic Wheel Replacement sentence "same load-carrying capacity, diameter, width, offset".

   2022 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban Owner's Manual (PDF metadata title: "2022 Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban Owner's Manual", author Chevrolet, created 2021-09-17). Downloaded and text-extracted. Technical Data > Capacities and Specifications, printed page 403 (PDF page 404), quoted verbatim: "Wheel Nut Torque | 190 Y | 140 lb ft". Identical to the 2021 edition, confirming the spec is stable across the generation; again a single published value with no alloy/steel split. The full 437-page file was text-searched for the same bolt-circle / thread / bore terms - zero hits.

   Full citation and quoted values

   GM Upfitter Integration Body Builder Manual, "Full Size C/K Utilities - 2021" (covers Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban, GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade/ESV), Revised Date 04/30/2020, 33 pages. I located this independently through the gmupfitter.com WordPress media index (it is the newest full-size-utility BBM GM hosts; there is no 2022-2024 replacement). Printed page 26 (PDF page 29), "Front Axle/Tire Data Chart - C/K 10 (706/906)", columns Size / Offset / Tire RPOs, read verbatim for models C10706, C10906, K10706, K10906: "18x8.5 | 26" with P265/65R18SL (tire RPO XCM); "20x9 | 28" with P275/60R20SL (QAE) and "20x9 | 28" with P275/65R20SL (XCI); "22x9 | 28" with P275/50R22SL (XCG). Printed page 28 (PDF page 31), "Rear Axle/Tire Data Chart - C/K 100 (06)", repeats the same sizes and offsets. NOTE the column heading is literally "Tire RPOs" - XCM/QAE/XCI/XCG are tire RPOs, not wheel RPOs. The document contains no bolt-circle, stud-thread or hub-bore dimension (searched: "bolt circle", "139.7", "6 x 5.5", "M14", "stud", "hub", "torque" - zero hits).

   2022 Chevrolet Tahoe eBrochure (PDF metadata title "2022 Chevrolet Tahoe eBrochure"), chevrolet.com shopping-tools download catalog, 27 pages. SPECIFICATIONS (CONTINUED) page, PDF page 22, EXTERIOR section, quoted verbatim with its availability row: "Tire - 17\" full-size spare, lockable, mounted under frame at rear" marked STANDARD on all six retail trims (LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, High Country). Same page, "Wheels - 18\" Bright Silver-painted aluminum (PZX) / 20\" painted-aluminum with machined face and Argent Metallic pockets (RD4) / 20\" machined-aluminum with Technical Gray pockets (NZU) / 20\" polished-finish aluminum (RD2) / 22\" bright machined high-gloss Black-painted aluminum (SGF) with wheel locks / 22\" polished-aluminum (RVA) with wheel locks / 22\" Sterling Silver-painted aluminum with chrome inserts (RPT) with wheel locks"; and "Tires - 265/65R18SL all-season / 275/60R20SL all-terrain / 275/60R20SL all-season / 275/50R22SL all-season". This is the source for the 17 in. retail spare, which is NOT a matching wheel - no retail Tahoe road wheel is 17 in. No bolt circle, offset, M14 or stud reference anywhere in the file.

   2024 Chevrolet Tahoe 9C1 Police Package (PPV) Specification Guide, GM Fleet / GM Upfitter Integration, 71 pages. Page 8, STANDARD 9C1 EXTERIOR FEATURES, quoted verbatim: "WHEELS: 20\" x 9\" black steel (includes matching full-size spare)"; "TIRES: Firestone Firehawk Pursuit 275/55R20 all-season, V-rated, blackwall"; page 6 overview: "...on 20\" heavy-duty black steel wheels with bolt-on center caps and includes a matching full-size spare." I independently checked the 2022 edition of the same guide and pages 6, 8, 11 and 13 are word-for-word identical, so the PPV wheel/tire hardware is unchanged from MY2022 through MY2024. Page 23 gives a 30 N-m spec that applies ONLY to the three wheel-center-cap fasteners, not to the lug nuts - do not confuse the two. Neither edition states a bolt circle, stud thread or hub bore (searched "bolt circle", "139.7", "M14", "stud", "78.1" - zero hits).

   Full citation and quoted values

   2020 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban Owner's Manual (4th gen / K2XX) - retrieved specifically as a control to test the prior researcher's claim that the previous generation used a different published torque. Technical Data > Capacities and Specifications, printed page 397 (PDF page 398), quoted verbatim: "Wheel Nut Torque | 190 Y | 140 lb ft" - IDENTICAL to the 2021 and 2022 T1 figure. This REFUTES the claim of a generation-to-generation torque difference for MY2020. MY2015-2019 Tahoe manuals are no longer served from GM's owner-center repository (all return HTTP 404), so those years remain unchecked rather than different.
