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?

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
