Out of all the pics i've seen, I think this look is my favorite. One of the other poster said it give it a beefy look. I'm sorry for the ignorance but if I wanted a similar look but not that big of tires, what would be the next best option. I'd like 20 inch rims on it but I just dont know too much about tire sizes and offset. I dont want any rubbing nor trimming.


Offset is the measurement from the the back where the bolt pater is to the back of the rim.
Negative offset sticks out, plus is closer to the frame.

When it comes to size of tires 33/12.50 r anything will all be 33 tall 12.50 wide but 305/55r20 is bigger than 305/55r17 a16166d95661b19980199560fa408aea.jpg3c2edc7885f8b48613a7d5538e6bfb17.jpg

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.

Just had my new 33x12.5R20s Haida Mud Champs installed and had the balancing beads thrown in. No running or trimming I also put my gatorback mud flaps back on as well with no rubbing. 20171023_173039.thumb.jpg.ffe2e41a2f4ebe6712c1cba1876e8aae.jpg

That's what I call a nice looking truck!  I'm looking to do something similar to my Denali.  Did you need to add wheel spacers to the set up or aftermarket upper control arms?

Thanks guy! She's stock. No spacers or aftermarket control arms. Has a a flush stance or just tucked. I don't know if it makes a difference at all but I have the Alumnium control arms.

well then,  33x12.50R20's may be just what I'll do when the time comes for mine.

Ya with the 2.5" Rough Country it rides good. Little stiff but it's nothing extreme. I like the Haida Mud Champs So far too! Not to loud but still have a good look. $990 + Tax for 4 couldn't beat that

The rough country 2 in level goes between lower control arm and strut. Is it alright for durability etc?

It's a composite material. Seems pretty durable. Time will tell. I've only had mine a very short while. I'm sure someone on this forum can comment long term.

I believe I'll be ordering 20x9 Fuel Mavericks tomorrow along with 275/65/20 tires. Wanted a skinny tire around 33.8"-34.2" tall and that seems to fit the bill perfectly. Currently running a 2" BDS level on a 2015 Crew Cab 4WD.

Prepared to to trim
The valance and/or fender liners but do not want to have to cut/hammer metal.

Based on my tire choice and 20x9; which offset do you guys recommend? I have the choice between +1, +14 or +20....

Is this different than a basic 2” level? What’s the rear block part?

I have the 2" level and put 275/65/20 on with no rub issues whatsoever. I had to zip tie the rear of the front liners but that's no big deal. You will run into problems when you start trying to go wider with the Factory 20s.



55 (stock) compared to 65’s can’t be much a difference with the same 275 height right?! How about some 285/65’s on the stock 20’s and a level?

Ok. So 285 is slightly wider than the 275?

I’m wondering what’ll be more cost effective. A 285/60/20 or (as shop recommended) a 275/60/20. Maybe they said 65...?!

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
