Has anyone gone 295/60/20 on a 2.5" level and stock at 20s?

anyone know who or if it was possible to fit the 35x12.5 mud grapplers like the black all terrain had?

the 295/60/20 would be tight but you could do it with some trimming i'm sure.

 

I probably wouldn't go wider though if you're going that tall.

 

I don't have personal experience though. I am running 285/65/18 on stock wheels, not quite the same. Just going off of what i vaguely recall seeing on here.

Hey Folks

I have a 2014 Silverado LTZ Z71, crew cab. I recently installed a Zone leveling kit, 2 inches in the front, and stock suspension in the rear. Currently I am running 285/45/22r and hate the way they looks and for occasional off road performance, well, they suck.

I have been to an off road shop and they recommended running a 33 with 20" rims. I like the war that that looks but not sure how it would perform both on and off road compared to running a 18" with 33s.

I do not want to have them stick way outside of the fender because rocks will be thrown and chip the paint. I like the way that the fuel Hostage looks and it has good reviews. If i run a 18x9 I will have a lip that is almost 2 inches. With a 20x9 I will only get a 1.5 inch lip.

With either of this rims I want to run a Mickey Thompson Deegan 38.

Any advice would be great!

thanks

Just installed the Suspensionmaxx 1.5" level. Might go another 0.5 in the front as the kit can do anything from 1.5-2.5. Pretty easy install for just the 1.5".

295/60 on stock 20's is what most guys run to completely avoid rubbing. So you'll be fine. If you were to go to 305/55 then you would rub the sway bar at full lock, but still not enough to be a real problem. Many guys run that size as well.

Here's my 2014 GMC Sierra All Terrain with a 2.5" leveling kit from ebay. Summit Racing was the distributor, nice all aluminum construction but didn't give me a full 2.5" of lift. I've run 2.5" leveling kits on 2 different trucks before and they've all given me a perfectly level truck except for this one. Wheels are OEM All terrain replicas +27mm offset in gloss black with 275/65/20 Duratracs. No rub once I removed mud flaps. Thinking about adding 1.25" spacers to get everything perfectly even with fenders

So, after the 18" or 20" rim debate awhile back, I went with aftermarket 18" rims.

2.5" Rough Country level, with rear blocks.

TIS 535MB wheels, 18 X 9, with -0- offset.

Atturo Trail Blade MT, 33X12.50X18.

2014 Silverado 1500.

 

Pics to follow.......

Post them to photobucket and then post the links from the photobucket files. Should let you from there.

Just picked up my truck from getting the RC 2" kit installed

 

 

Before Front - 36.50"

After Front - 38.50"

 

Before Rear - 39.25"

After Rear - 39.50"

 

Before lower edge of front air dam - 9"

After lower edge of front air dam - 11"

 

 

I might remove air dam still, not sure.

 

This is all with the stock 275/55-20 Continentals on original wheels.

 

I will be switching these out soon I'm sure. Love the look of it even more now. Still want it taller all around but dealer is threatening warranty issues if I do anything taller than this.

Local Chevy dealer is where I had the install done.

Did you do the 2.5" kit with a rear block?

No sir, I installed part # 1307 which is supposed to be front only, 2", for steel arms according to the website.

 

Here's my "After" pic. Needs wheels/tires BAD!!

That's a 35". I'm about to do 275/65-20 on stock wheels and that's a 34" and I'm expecting rub even though most posts on here say they fit.

    • Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.
    • LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL
    • Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
    • from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
