What wheels and tires did you get and do you have something to sell now? I am looking for the black inserts on the 22s if you got em..lol

 

Depending on how the above works, I am going to sell the stock wheels, the stock tires, as well as the terra grapplers. Not sure if those together with the wheels or not yet. 

 

 

May put the stock tires on the stock wheels and sell the nitto's by themselves. haven't decided yet.

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.

Alignment can play into rubbing. Even within spec, being at one end of the spectrum vs the other

When I had them put on they played with all that trying to see.

That could be it. maybe, it rubs the sidewall. 

 

I ended up ordering this setup.

I love the 22's but with too small a tire it doesn't look right imo. (like stock size).

 

 

 

I agree on the size tires that come stock. That setup is goin to look awesome post pics when you get it complete.

That's crazy though as mine seem to have plenty of clearance. I like to find out what the difference is

I kinda noticed this though researching, seems some have issues others do not on similar trucks, yours was the first identical I ran across.

When I bought my wheels and tires I ordered the same set and size another member had. I have 3” of lift, he had bilsteins set at 1.85”. My truck rubbed so bad it was basically useless in anything but a straight line.

Wonder why?

Been reading so many threads on leveling my head is spinning.

 

I want to run a 20x10 -19 offset with 33’s or equivilent, I have read this can be done with just a leveling kit on the front, but there is a lot of conflicting info on how much. 2.5” some say it rubs some dont. Also read someone was able go do it with just 5100’s at the highest setting.

 

Seems like alot of people run 2.5 RC with stock Rancos with no problems but many say it wears on the suspension because of the angles and Ranchos suck, so best bet is 5100’s but not sure if I cant get that wheel and tire combo on with 1.8” of lift. So what is the best option for less than 1k? 5100’s at stock height with RC? Coilovers? Do I need to change the offset to -12 instead of -19? My truck is brand new with 1500 miles on it. Thanks for any help

I would be afraid to go any serious off road with this set up. I have exactly what you do, 285/55r22's and there is rubbing on the control arms. I can feel it hit as I turn. especially in reverse. 

 

Same truck, same wheels, same exact tires.  suspensionmaxx leveling with all the spacers in, etc.  It's not the width, it's the height on stock wheels that cause the rubbing. 

 

 

I disagree its height causing the issue.

 

I've ran 255/80/17 on stock wheels (17x8 +24) with no level and had no rubbing aside from a little on the carpet at full lock. 33.0 x 10.0 x 17 tire

I've ran 285/70/17 on 17x9 +6 wheels with no level and had major rubbing on the mud flap and carpet, no where else. 32.7 x 11.2 x 17 tire

 

Both of these setups clear no problem with bilsteins @ the highest setting.

Those are both 33. I think thats the max before you have to start playing with offsets. Which your examples do

Yeah, I should of stated there's 0.5" difference in actual size when inflated. the 255 being taller. but the amount the 285 did rub was very drastic - something youd have to experience to cringe like I did lol.

Yeah it's not the height of the tire, it's the width that cause a rub on the sway bar, control arm or fender. The height will usually only cause rub on the fender.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      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. Spotify icon truncated on Audio app.   SXM When changing power modes with the ignition switch, the HVAC pop up might appear. During startup, the radio will show the brand splash screen then go blank. Receiving a confirmation pop-up when changing drive modes. A “Return to Dealer” message may appear on the radio screen. SuperCruise setting toggle may not work. System After an ignition cycle, the radio might go black or stop working if using Sirius XM (SXM). Settings When performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working. After performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working when trying to switch users. When trying to go into the Language section quickly after startup, the radio may stop working. 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. Removed the Apple CarPlay Cannot Connect screen when a device fails to pair during the autoconnect process. CarPlay information may not show up in the audio app. Near Field Communications (NFC) chime may be heard when NFC does not work.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      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.

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.
