how much do the tires stick out from the side of the wheel well? bought 33" toyo mt's, same exact truck.

They dont stick out at all. If you went with 33x12.5 your tires will be wider than mine.

Anyone running 325/60r18 (33.3"x13") tires with 18x9 wheel (+20 offset 5.75" backspace) on a front only level kit?

 

I figure it's a long shot, but anyone think that would work without rubbing?

 

Love the way those tires look, I'm sure it'd be fine height wise but 13" is a wide tire.

Im running 305/60-18 on stock AT 18x8.5 wheels. No leveling. No rubbing. I dont know if you can do what you're thinking. It'd be close.

Yep, your new tire thread is what makes me think it might actually work. If you're getting 12.1 width under there with no level, an extra 2.5 level might allow that extra 0.9" width.

325s will rub just don't know where and how bad

I put in some 3/4" lower spacers to get 1 1/2" lift. 38 1/4" front, 39 1/2" rear fender height. With the 33s it picked up the front a total of 2". I think I'm about where I want to be with it.

Looks good and cute pups. You'll prob have a very nice stance with a hefty load.

 

With my truck only being 1/2-3/4" higher in the rear, I know I'm going to be pointed to the sky towing or hauling a heavy load. I see helper springs in my future

The guys at the shop were able to slip the blocks in without disconnecting anything other than the two bolts on the coilover lower attach. Didn't even take the wheels off.

 

If I'd have had my dogs with me when that blond was checking out my truck, she'd have been putty in my hand.

2" Rough County leveling kit, with 275/70/18 BF Goodrich TKOs. I'm contemplating getting 1/4" or 1/2" spacer plates to get a little more width. Anyone have experience with he plate spacers??

I have a 2.0" skyjacker levelling kit on my sierra and want to get new wheels soon but don't know what size of tire would fit and how wide I can go without rubbing a lot. I want 18" wheels. Anybody have any ideas?

You can get 305/60-18 (marked 12.50x33, actual 12.1x32.64) tires on stock RT5 All Terrain wheels (18x8.5) without rubbing. see this thread. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/161086-cooper-st-maxx-30560-18-121x326-18-no-levellift/

Here is my truck with 1.5" level kit with 285/55/20 Terra Grapplers and factory mudflaps.

That looks great.

I still have a snugtop Hi-Liner Sport and a set of aluminum bed drawers to put on the truck. That's about 400 lbs total.

 

The pups are some great bird dogs. The white pointer is a George Hickox dog out of 3 hall of fame trial dogs lineage. Amazing to watch her work. I've gone out without a gun just to let her find birds.

    • Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL? 
    • consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.
    • can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?
    • Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
    • First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
