I would be OK with a 0 offset, I have a 0 on my GMT-400 and I think it looks perfect.. I just dont like the way a + offset looks, Im OK with 0 but i really like the deep look of a negative wheel offset.... Problem is, the wheels I want only come in -12

I see where you're coming from looks wise. Also I just notice you had a gmt-800, the specs I posted are in reference to a gmt-900, so you may want to do some more research and hunting around to see what you can up up with, but I believe the specs are about the same.

Right now I do have a GMT-800 and a 400 (work truck) , but I am in the process of getting a 900, and selling the other ones , so my question was based on a 900... It was nice I bought the wheels for my 88 and when that truck became a hauler, I just switched them to the 02, looks real good with them and 285/75/16's, it fit perfectly, no trimming anywhere... I just wish I could put them on the new one

I'm running -12mm offset wheels with 275/65/18 and a 2" Leveling Kit. The Tires rub just a little bit, but I have mudflaps. I would think that stock tire size in your situation would be all good.

 

The above link is a picture of said set up.

 

Thanks for the pic and thread... DO you have any other shots of the truck from the front or rear???

I'm running a -18 offset, if that helps any. front tires probably stick out 1.5 inches and the back are perfectly flush with the fender flares.

 

Not sure if the GMT-800 and GMT-900 would be the same... Do you have pics of your set up??

I absoutley LOVE that truck ^^^... THats why I really wanted to see if the -12 will fit.. Thats the same color I am getting and the wheels just really set it off.. Ive been looking for days for the right wheel and these are the only ones I like so far... Although the new MOTO 960 are sweet. THey look like RGA GMC wheels, and I like those as well...I do like to have the wheel stick out just a little

They will fit a truck with a 9" lift no problem.. :thumbs:

 

Seriously though, I don't think you will like the look with the stock tires. IMO there is something about smallish street tires sticking out of the fenders that just doesn't look right.

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
