Finally got around to getting my wheels and tires installed. 20x10 fuel hostage with a -24mm offset. Tires are Toyo Open Country AT 2 at 305/50r20. Went with these because they are only 50ish pounds a piece compared to around 70 pounds for a 305/55. Don't mind the filthy truck. Getting a lot of rain as of late.

 

What offset, and more pics please. Been looking at x10s and just bought 305/50s about a month ago so this will give me a good idea where i'd be at. thanks.

Haggled a guy on CL for his set of Tahoe wheels and slapped my BF Goodrich's on them. Love the look, and am happy I achieved the look I was going for without having to do aftermarket wheels.

what the difference between the tahoe wheels and that style silverado wheels?

No difference other than the color. I think all Z71 LT models got the same style wheel, but it looks like they only did this style with this color for the Tahoe's.

Truck is currently getting detailed and then Line x, so I cannot add more pictures for a couple days. I have some from the day they were installed. The offset is -24mm.

Looks awesome, thanks. I have the rear block in so I may not rub with -24. Still probably will look at the -12 or -19 offset wheels I've been considering .

Removed the air dam this evening. Plan to get the Mazzulla skid plate and bar once it's available at SDHQ

I called Mazzulla on that skid plate, and in order to use it, you have to cut the tow hooks and horseshoe knuckles off to make it fit. Man, I wish there was another option out there. I really don't want to do something that evasive to my truck...

The tow hooks can be removed and the knuckles serve no purpose after assembly. I say go for it! That skid plate is awesome...

 

Call Gunnell's Tire & Auto (480) 844-1090 and ask for Ryan. He can take care of everything if you choose to go that route.

SWEET! Is your truck black or tungsten?

All these blacked out 2016s make me want one!

Looks great. What size tires are you running? Do you have a level installed?

    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
