...  But the BFGs really do look good on our trucks.  

I agree...i fall into the category that I need my AT tires about 5 times a year(maybe more, but they are all hunting related)...the rest I could just have hw tires...but the 5 times I need them...i NEED them...

 

Michelin makes a fantastic tire and I put them on my wife's vehicle...

I just put a 2.5 in leveling kit on my 2015. Do y’all think I’ll have to trim to try and fit 285/75/17 with methods? 


I’m thinking of doing the same, let me know what you come up with. There was someone on here that did it with bilsteins which are 1.85”, don’t remember the username though

trying not to hijack this thread, but in looking at the KO2s, is it worth $80 to go up to a 275/60 over the factory 275/55?  It looks like Costco is running a promo on BFGs as well.  Trying to figure out if there's really any real benefit to just an 1" taller tire?

i prefer an 18" rim on 4x4...having said that...for 20's i would recommend as much rubber as you can fit...more comfortable ride...

With money being the way it is, I decided to just go with the 275/55s and put the additional money towards an alignment after i get them installed.  i was also worried that Costco would freak out about installing a non oem listed size.

So here are after pic's.  I went with larger Toyo Open Country's on the stock rims.  I am really loving it, but may bump the back an inch.

Hi everyone! I don’t post a lot but have an important question? I see a lot of ppl saying 275/60r20 works fine with a stock a suspension (no rubbing). I have an 18 with a 2.5 level and just ordered some BFG kos 275/65/20.....answers seem to vary but should I expect an type of rubbing? Wheels are stock atm.

2.5” motofab leveling kit with Ready lift UCAs, 20x9 Moto Metals wrapped w/ 33” nittos 

Nice setup!what offset are those rims? Any rub? I’m also looking at the Ready loft UCA. Question I have is how much offset should I run with 20” rims? Website says +6 with a 33” tire for no rub. Does that mean I can run less than +6 and be ok? Say 0 or -12. Appreciate any info.

I got +18 offset, I would say they stick out about 1-2” from the fenders, they do rub on the UCAs at full lock, (slightly) but they do not rub in the wheel wells, I also didn’t cut my bump stops, but I’m going to and I can get back to you if they still rub on the UCAs, I also want to try MotoFabs UCAs they’re brand new and made for their leveling kits, they might not rub on the UCAs

On my 2018 and when it was leveled, 2.25” level up front will allow a +18 offset wheel with 285/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers without requiring new UCA’s but did require zip ties on the fender liner. I also replaced the rear 1” with a 2” and installed new Bilstein 5100’s. Looked good but Rode harsh.

    • Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift. (Corvette Only) After changing the exhaust sound they get a popup that "mode change not applied", even though it was. -When changing volume, the volume bar is for Traffic instead of Audio. -(Corvette Only) Improvements to the placement of buttons and text. -If the customer receives the message "Apple CarPlay Could not connect", the cursor might move in the opposite direction than expected when using the control knob. -Android Auto automatically starts playing their music, even though they have turned that off in settings. -Intermittently they have a red OnStar LED with no OnStar function and/or no audio. -The minimum length of the Wi-Fi password was increased to 12 characters. -The popup message "Driver Attention Check, check your mirrors or Super Cruise will shut down" may not have come up on the display when it should have. -Startup animation added for 20th anniversary of the V-Series on Cadillacs. -The Navigation app received location improvements when going under long underpasses. -In the Navigation app there are filters for charging points that the vehicle cannot use.   V164 Most Notable Improvements Most notable improvements contained in this release may include: Apps Intermittently, an “SD Card Removed” message will pop up in the Navigation app. While in the audio app, the radio may stop working. Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM.

Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed.

After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.
    • Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated. 
    • We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person. 
    • We had a pretty big cars and coffee in Indy this past weekend.  Pretty much anything and everything was there.  
    • Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
