I'm pretty sure those are going to rub like crazy. That negative offset is going to be the issue.

The rubbing I presume can be handled by trimming the interior wheel well? Or is the offset way too much, if so what is the maximum offset/wheel width we can run with just a 2.5 inch level?

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

If you don't want any rubbing at all, I'd say either a 285/55/20, 305/50/20, or a 275/60/20.

 

Thanks!

285/55/20 is 33x11.5x20 mickey thompson ATZ P3s come in this size and can be found for around 250$ a tire. I'm thinking of running a set until i can get my rims. Nitto Also makes Trail grapplers in that size.

I think it's still too much. I'm not sure what the maximum offset is for just a 2.5" level. IIRC, it needs to be 0 or higher (+). You might want to ask member

baggedlvintegra as I know he's had a lot of different wheels and currently has 22x12s that are rubbing right now.

20x10s with 33x12.50x20 rub with a 2.5" level. The 12s are gonna stick out almost 2 inches farther and they'll be inward close to another centimeter as well.

 

So yeah, you're gonna rub like hell.

 

I've seen people get by with a 4 inch lift and 12s with 31s. But you'll be cutting a lot of metal with just the 2.5. Bagged said that his 5" total lift eliminated the rubbing on his 12 wide equivalent setup.

I like your wheel well trim. Is that stock if not where did you get it?

Nitto is a niche company under Toyo still. Same rubber fellas. Thats why both tire brands are so awesome. :)

 

I don't think they are the same company anymore. I know about 10 years ago they were, but I think they split. Tread patterns used to be identical, but not anymore. I accidentally ran a set of Tera Grapplers on my last truck and I ran through them in about 30K, where-as the Open Country's I ran before lasted close to 50K.

The fender trim is stock on the '15 GMC. You can opt for painted trim if you want...

Some great info in this thread, I've spent an hour researching for a kit to go on my 2014 Chevy.

 

Anyone have a pic with a 2-2.5" Rough Country kit with Duratrac tires on stock 18's? Specifically on a 2014 Chevy or whatever else is out there.

 

Also, what is a fair price to have this installed? I know it's cheaper to do by yourself but don't have the resources to get it done. Thanks!

It's not a RC kit and about 2 3/8" lift, but it's Duratracs on the stock 18's…

It's been good, very happy with the Duratracs in the winter. My only complaint ti at highway speeds the Duratracs cause a bit of vibration… I have BFG KO2's going on soon for the summer…

Does anyone have a leveled sierra with 305/40r22's? I'm trying to decide if they will look too small. I'm thinking of some cooper zeon ltz's, but if they're too small I may go with 305/45r22 Dynapro ATM's.

The 305 is about the same overall height as the 275/55R20 and 285/45R22. It will just be 12" wide

Cant tell you. I have seen the 03-13 trucks with them on fairly aggressive road tires. Like soft compound for grip in 305/40R22 and 305/50R20. Didnt look bad on those. If youre leveled go for the 305/45

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
