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?

      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.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      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.
