The latter looks like the ck375 22"

OE Wheel LLC has a set of CK375 repro in 20". I was thinking of getting a set myself before but decided an 18" with an A/T tire would give me the more aggressive look I would prefer

Never thought, but will running a 275/70/17 still let me run my stock mud flaps or will I have to ditch them? Really didn't want to trim at all.

You should be fine with a 275/70/17. I'm running the 18" equilivant of that size (275/65/18) now, without any rubbing issues...and I have aftermarket rims with +18mm offset. You should be able to run a 275/70/17 even without a leveling kit, using your stock rims.

Yeah they should be fine....unless you have some kind of crazy aftermarket flaps that really take up a lot of fender-well space

I'd put a 2" level on it, and run some 305/50/20 Terra Grapplers. IMO a wider tire looks better than a taller skinny one. My neighbor has this exact combo with no rub/trim, I'll see if I can get a pic.

which offset would I be looking for in my new 20" rims? My current ones are the ones pictured, not sure the offset, maybe someone can tell by looking. Maybe these rims have different offsets with the same look, IDK

Your stock 17's are a 17x7.5 with +31mm offset. All stock 1500 rims have a +31mm offset, but the 17's are 7.5" wide, the 18's are 8" wide, and the 20's are 8.5" wide....so the backspacing will vary accordingly. The more positive the offset, the more the rim is going to be tucked under the fender...which will reduce the chance of your tires rubbing if you go to a larger size.

Going to do the deed tomorrow after work. I'll post before and after pics. Decided on 285/70/17 Michelin LTX AT2, we'll see!

got it finished, I was just going to do the front, had it done and thought it looked a bit high in the front. Installed the 3" rear blocks and very glad I did. Love the new look. Right now I've got stock tires on the lift, but tomorrow I'm getting new skins. Can't wait. Will post pics then. Forgot to take pics in all the excitement.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
