Hi guys, new member here. I'm going to be picking up a new (to me) 2007 Sierra Classic 4x4 this week. It is going to need tires soon, so I plan to upgrade the wheels along with it. My major concern is wheel offset. I don't want the wheels / tires sticking out further than stock.

What is the appropriate offset and backspacing for say a 17x8 or 17x9 aftermarket wheel?

Thanks!

  I’m in the market for a K2XX 6.2 truck and I’ve heard some conflicting things about reliability. My mechanic says that the 8 speed is just not consistent at all in reliability and that some people can be ok and others can’t. Given this I was hunting for a 2014 only truck with the 6.2 (which is quite hard to find) and I’m coming on here to ask if the 8 speed is really that bad. I need to expand my years so I can find some nice trucks but I don’t know if it’s better to wait on a 2014 to pop up or to expand my field and get some more deals. Thanks in advance for any feedback and comments

  Why does that not surprise me? 😏 It is more creative that a crowbar on a kneecap. Did it come with the mounted overhead lighting? 😬

  ? I would expect there to be a bushing for the yoke to ride on, there is for both my '04 and my '12. Perhaps that bushing needs to be replaced? It is possible to replace it w/o pulling the TC (at least for my trucks), but it does require special tooling.

  Pretty much zero rust on the truck, the frame is super clean. Non-snowy area of California for its whole life. They didn't mention JB weld specifically, just a silicone style seal.
