Hey guys, question about wheel and tire fit. I've got a '14 Silverado double cab w/ max trailering pckg, 4x4. I have the RC 2" Level installed, and am wanting to order rims and tires. My main concern is wheel offset. From what I've read throughout the thread, I should be able to run 275/65/20 with minor rubbing, how big of a concern is wheel offset? I'm looking at a variety of different rims ranging from -0- to 35 offset.

 

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Will post better quality pictures later next week once I get my wheel/tire dilemma solved.

 

Thanks again.

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.

I was told that you have to do an alignment because you're changing the geometry of the truck.

If you want your steering wheel to be straight and not wear out your tires in a couple hundred miles, yes you need an alignment, with any leveling kit.

 

I can't believe this question still gets asked.

Just pulled the trigger on a 2.5 RC leveling kit. Hopefully will have in on in a couple of weeks.

There was probably a point when you didn't know that... give the guy a little slack.

I have the 2.5" Rough Country coming in the mail this week. Trying to decide on tires now. I was pretty set on 275/65/20 Toyo MTs for a while, but am starting to look at other options now. The Toyo RT and BFG KO2 are catching my eye. The KO2 comes in a 285/65/20. Not sure if it would fit. It says it is about 34.5" tall.

The Toyo M/T 275/65/20 is 34.5x11.0

The KO2 285/65/20 is 34.5x11.5 I believe.

Many have said that the 275/65/20 will fit with just the smallest of rubbing which is easily trimmed or pulled away to prevent it. The 285/65 would probably fit, just most likely cause more rubbing.

That being said I am in the same spot as you are. I looked and found that the 275/65/20 was perfect for me in the nitto trail grappler, but then I started to think of different options. Let me know what you decide, and also post pics.

I believe the 275/65/20 Toyo MTs are closer to 34.1". The weight of the Toyo MTs is also a drawback for me.

 

The Nitto Trail Grappler looks good, but I don't think they last as long as other tires.

I just got some BFG KO2's in a 275/70/18 and love them so far. They're a 33.2" tall tire i believe and I have the 2" RC level with no issues whatsoever.

Wanting a leveling kit for my 2015 and didn't know what I should go with 2" or 2.5". Also with a 2.5" do you have to go with blocks in the back and if so would it void your warranty?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
