If those XD Buck wheels had come in 18, I would have put them on my Pepperdust truck.

Finally got some new tires after leveling. LT275/70/17 Mickey Thompson Deegan 38s.

 

Only pic I have on the phone right now. Top was original, middle is how it sits now, bottom was a little photoshop. Going to get tint next and I might paint the wheels a gunmetal color and wanted to see how it looked. Color match bumper would be nice too but my wife isn't going to sign off on that.

You can do plasti dip on the wheels to see if you like it. If you hate it you can peel it off easy as long as you do 5-6 coats.

 

You can leave the tires on the rims and leave the rims on the truck, just be sure to cover the brakes and rotors. The dip please off tires like nothing so you don't need to worry about over spray.

 

I have to redo my rims on my hummer. I tried using peel away but it didn't even last the year...

I got it leveled on Friday. Thanks everyone for all the help while I searched for the setup I wanted. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Here's a before and after.

WoW! Great job bud... What is a huge difference between the before and after... The wheel and tire set up is perfect... Can we get more info and closer pics on them..

This is all I have at the moment.

Like you, I think the 285s look "OK" on these trucks, but not great. The more I look at this setup, the more I like it.

 

Can I get some more pictures? I'm especially interested in some pictures of someone holding the steering at full lock, and seeing the clearance around the tire (front, rear, UCA and Swaybar).

Figured I'd throw up a few pics of my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 dbl cab with level lift, 20x9s, and 33x12.5 toyo r/t tires. Reused the ready lift 2.25 from my 2014 silverado on this so I could buy the wheels and tires I wanted now. Plan on bumping up to a 4" lift in the next 6 months or so.

What are you fender height measurements? I am running the same level yet I still have approximately 1.5" difference in height from front to rear

Oh Man Thanks. the look is exactly what I was going for.

 

The tires are 305/50R20 Toyo Open Country AT II

Wheels are 20x9 Fuel Mavericks with a +20 offset

 

I will get closer pictures tomorrow.

Here's my '17 with a 2.5" front Motofab and a 3" block in the rear. Got a good little rake to it but damn it looks good!

Got the 2" RC level and new 285/65R20 BFG KO2's this weekend. Rubbed a little of the fender well at first but a zip tie on each side fixed it no problem. Thought about going with the 275's just to be safe but glad I jumped in and got the 285's.

Nice! Post some more pics! I went with 285/55 ko2s after much debate between those sizes.

I love this setup. Looks beefy, and there is zero rubbing or trimming, even in reverse at an angle. Ive been meaning to snap more pics, and I am also curious to see the actual clearance I do have, so Ill get that done tomorrow. Been busy with a new job so Ive been swamped!

I thought about getting the same tires in the same size. How you like em? Or do you have em yet?

I've had them on for about 2 weeks and I have enjoyed them. Seem to do really well with all the rain we've been getting here.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
