Well my rims and tires finally came in so I got them installed today, I think the truck looks pretty good, the rims are 20" eagle alloys 079 with -12 offset and the tires are Nitto Trail Grapplers 295/55/20 the truck has a 2" leveling kit and a 2" block in the rear and a 1.25" bl and I still had to get the tire place to do some trimming to get them to fit, the pictures are a little shitty since its raining and getting dark but I will get some better ones when shes all cleaned up.

Looks great. How about a pic of the front tire and how far it sticks out of the fender. Like the one above just not of the back the front.

 

What tire did you come from and how does the trail grappler feel? handling, noise, performance? just want to hear your opinion.

I will get you a picture of the front of the truck tomorrow morning, I thought they were going to stick out a lot further then they actually do, and I love the trail grapplers, the last tires I had were 275/55/20 firestone destination a/t and they were also a nice tire, the nitto's seem to have a nice ride, a lot smoother then I first expected. The noise is not that bad at all, you do notice them a bit but I have definitely heard a lot worse, if you have the radio on low you can barely hear them. I havent really had a chance to test the performance to much but it was raining pretty good and they didnt have a problem with the wet roads, they are definitely a sharp looking tire, they look a lot beefier in person. I have noticed a little difference in gas mileage I was usually getting around 17.5 mpg around town and now I have been getting about 16 mpg but I kind of expected that with getting the bigger tires and rims.

sweet you mpg will look like it is worse then it is until you get your speed o re-calibrated. So how do u think it would be with rubbing with a 0 of set wheel? Do you think it would be rub free?

With a zero offset and this size of tire they will probably still rub a little, with mine they had to cut a little metal out, along with some inner fender liner and a little bit off the mudflap just because I wanted to keep them on, but you can only see the cutting when you look inside the inner fender so it doesn't bother me to much.

Here are some pictures from the front so you guys can get an idea of how far they stick out, I thought they were going to stick out a lot further then they do. And there is also a picture of the cut that had to be made.

Just curious, did they have to trim metal for it to fit, picture looks like they just trimmed the mudflap? I'm looking to do a 1.25 body lift and I have -12 o/s wheels and just wondering about fitment. Thanks.

That is a perfect stance and offset. :fume:

 

I am interested in your setup because your tires and rims with that offset will be about 4mm different then mine with lift spindles. It gives me a clear understanding of what I will look like.

 

Really nice honestly.

Ya they had to trim just a little bit of metal.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
