Ok guys I'm getting confused on offsets.

I'm going to order wheels and I can't decide on 0mm or 12mm offset, will have a 2.5in level with 295/55/20s.

IS 12mm more in or out?

 

 

The numerically higher the number, the further in the rim is. So comparing 12mm to 0mm offset, the 12mm will not stick out as much (this holds true only if the width is the same on both rims)

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.

Factory 20's are +27mm so either will stick out further than stock. To clear the 295's against the control arms you need a minimum +18mm offset. I'd personally go with the +12's unless you want to be wider than your fenders.

 

"0 offset" means the hub face is exactly in the center of the wheel. The more positive the number the further in the wheels are tucked, less positive or even negative offset sticks the wheels out away from the vehicle.

is there a way to tell the computer that the tire diameter has changed?

GerryLP :cool:

Yes you can use a Hypertech Programmer to recalibrate your speedo, along with several other changes as well.

From the pics I've seen the 0mm gets the tires about .25" outside the fender

it looks great.... want to get these so bad and also want to take out stock 1.25" block in back and put a 3" block in its place (1.75" lift) so I retain some of the stock rake with a little lifted look.

For those of you with 1.5-2" of level, what max diameter tire are you able to clear? I'm thinking 34" would be the max limit with trimming, 33 with little to no trimming, and 32.5 with no trimming.

 

As for thickness i think with stock offset 11.5 is going to be max.

 

I found 295/60/20 Trail Graps for 260$ a tire new. Incredible price honestly.

I was looking at a similar tire. Did you find that online or local shop?

      Light Up the Trail From Above: 50" PRO for the Hummer EV

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone,   For anyone looking at roof-mounted lighting for the Hummer EV, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive 50" PRO Roof Light Bar for the 2022+ GMC Hummer EV.   The curved 50" bar sits close to the windshield rather than sticking way up above the roofline. The mounting position is designed to keep the setup relatively streamlined while minimizing wind noise and maintaining full use of the factory windshield wipers.   A few details:   50" curved PRO light bar Fits 2022–2026 GMC Hummer EV Spot + driving beam pattern TIR optics White main beam Amber DRL backglow Approximately 15,410 measured lumens through the lens Mounts to factory accessory locations No cutting or drilling required Wiring runs down the A-pillar toward the AUX connections Designed to minimize wind noise Lifetime warranty Off-road use only     The 50" is an interesting middle ground for anyone who wants the visibility and mounting position of a roof bar without stepping all the way up to the larger 60" setup. For the Hummer EV owners here, would you go with the 50" for the lower-profile look or step up to the full 60"?

      Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb".   ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!!

      I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.

      I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.   Hopefully these don't go 404 like the last post ... https://postimg.cc/gallery/MjhrmZS   Seems like that site went back to dial-up internet! Maybe they'll fix that some day ...
