I'm pretty sure those are going to rub like crazy. That negative offset is going to be the issue.

The rubbing I presume can be handled by trimming the interior wheel well? Or is the offset way too much, if so what is the maximum offset/wheel width we can run with just a 2.5 inch 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

If you don't want any rubbing at all, I'd say either a 285/55/20, 305/50/20, or a 275/60/20.

 

Thanks!

285/55/20 is 33x11.5x20 mickey thompson ATZ P3s come in this size and can be found for around 250$ a tire. I'm thinking of running a set until i can get my rims. Nitto Also makes Trail grapplers in that size.

I think it's still too much. I'm not sure what the maximum offset is for just a 2.5" level. IIRC, it needs to be 0 or higher (+). You might want to ask member

baggedlvintegra as I know he's had a lot of different wheels and currently has 22x12s that are rubbing right now.

20x10s with 33x12.50x20 rub with a 2.5" level. The 12s are gonna stick out almost 2 inches farther and they'll be inward close to another centimeter as well.

 

So yeah, you're gonna rub like hell.

 

I've seen people get by with a 4 inch lift and 12s with 31s. But you'll be cutting a lot of metal with just the 2.5. Bagged said that his 5" total lift eliminated the rubbing on his 12 wide equivalent setup.

I like your wheel well trim. Is that stock if not where did you get it?

Nitto is a niche company under Toyo still. Same rubber fellas. Thats why both tire brands are so awesome. :)

 

I don't think they are the same company anymore. I know about 10 years ago they were, but I think they split. Tread patterns used to be identical, but not anymore. I accidentally ran a set of Tera Grapplers on my last truck and I ran through them in about 30K, where-as the Open Country's I ran before lasted close to 50K.

The fender trim is stock on the '15 GMC. You can opt for painted trim if you want...

Some great info in this thread, I've spent an hour researching for a kit to go on my 2014 Chevy.

 

Anyone have a pic with a 2-2.5" Rough Country kit with Duratrac tires on stock 18's? Specifically on a 2014 Chevy or whatever else is out there.

 

Also, what is a fair price to have this installed? I know it's cheaper to do by yourself but don't have the resources to get it done. Thanks!

It's not a RC kit and about 2 3/8" lift, but it's Duratracs on the stock 18's…

It's been good, very happy with the Duratracs in the winter. My only complaint ti at highway speeds the Duratracs cause a bit of vibration… I have BFG KO2's going on soon for the summer…

Does anyone have a leveled sierra with 305/40r22's? I'm trying to decide if they will look too small. I'm thinking of some cooper zeon ltz's, but if they're too small I may go with 305/45r22 Dynapro ATM's.

The 305 is about the same overall height as the 275/55R20 and 285/45R22. It will just be 12" wide

Cant tell you. I have seen the 03-13 trucks with them on fairly aggressive road tires. Like soft compound for grip in 305/40R22 and 305/50R20. Didnt look bad on those. If youre leveled go for the 305/45

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
