More details please.

 

What width wheels? If aftermarket, what offset? And what brand/model tire? Anything else aftermarket, like UCAs or anything?

 

Thanks!

The wheels are the stock 18s, 8.5 in width I believe. Everything is stock except the BDS 2" 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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

How much have you been offroad with that size? They look great!

 

I go offroad fairly often at our family farm, and it sees mud, rocks, grass, ect. out there. They grip extremely well, ride smooth, and are quiet. Even going over fairly rough terrain while turning, I still have yet to rub. I am very impressed with these tires, especially at their price point.

NICE!!!!

Since you said above you're stock... how much has it hit your gas mileage and are they super heavy??

I'm running 275/70/18s right now which are 10 plys... but the wider tires seem to be significantly heavier.

Hey guys! So I know this is probably one of the most covered topics of all but I'm hoping to find a little more info on wheel/tire fittment with a leveling kit. At this point I'm leaning towards the RC 2" front level for now. I have set of 17x9s picked out because I like more tire and less wheel. I've read through this thread till I was blue in the face and couldn't find much of an answer. I'm trying to decide between 0 or -12 offset and then also between 285/70's and 295/70's. Just wondering if anybody with experience with these sizes could chime in if possible so I can't get these wheels and tires coming. I found a ton of info on stock wheels but not as on wheels with these specs. The -12 offset wheels with 295/70 would be best case scenario for me but I'm guessing 0 offset carries less of a chance of rubbing? Thanks in advance for any and all input guys!

Edit

So with my set up -6 offset is about the max I could go with a 2" level and 17x8.5 wheels with 285/70 tires. Last post on this page of the wheel tire thread are picks of my truck and more pics on the next page of the thread. Hope this helps

Man there are some sharp looking trucks with just the leveled system. I plan on doing a 2.5" front with a 3" rear block. Just don't quite know what I want to run for wheels and tires yet.

 

Havok H109s 20x10's or 20's GMC Sierra Stockers...

 

I still have my stockers, as I have not yet decided on rims, but put Toyo AT2 305/55R20 on a 2.5" level with 3" rear block and a set of Hellwig 987's on the rear.

That setup looks fantastic! With all the crazy wheel designs out today, I love a simple 17" wheel. You don't see it very often. I for one am I huge fan of soft 8 style wheels so I went with Ultra type 164's. They are a -12 offset so we'll see what kind of trimming and zip tying I'll have to do when they get here. Also I decided on a 2.5" front and 2" rear kit. 2.5" seems to be a comfortable limit without a diff drop and aftermarket UCA's. Hopefully the extra .5" will do me some good. A friend of mine has a 3" front level and you can see the upper arms are riding on the bump stops more then I'd like to see.

Maybe I am just a bit old school but IMO without a 6" lift and 37" tires the 20" wheels look like they should be on some low-rider and not a 4x4 truck. I guess I'm just getting old because it seems like everyone and their brother is running 20's. Hope everything works out with your new wheels, tires, and leveling kit. I know the tires I have are big for 285/70 or at least that is what I have read in comparison to other brands of A/T tires in that size.

I agree completely. Especially MT's on 20's. even with 35-37's, I'd still run 17's or smaller lol. I had 35/12.5r16's on my lifted '03 Silverado. Thanks for the good luck on the wheels and tires. I'll be sure to post pics and info on fittment.

These are 10 ply as well, but even at the size I have, they weigh around 65 lbs, which is significantly less than other brands at a similar size. I went from around 21-22 highway to 19 highway average, so honestly not a big hit at all in my opinion, especially coming from those tiny goodyears.

Your truck looks pretty sharp from your profile picture. Curious if you have any other pictures of it from the side or back.

 

Thanks

I saw those Falken wildpeaks from a mile away. Good looking truck. I rock the Falken at3s too.

The Wildpeaks are getting great reviews. I haven't heard anyone with a bad experience.

      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.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      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.
