18 inch Wheels with +18 offset?

I have been looking at lift kits, wheels, etc. I have 18 x 9 inch HD Monsters with +18 offset as that is what the dealer told me I needed with my readylift level kit so that nothing would rub on my 2010 1/2 ton Chev. This is with 275 65 R18 Durotracs. Nothing rubs on it so they do work they miss the inner fenderwell by about 1/8 of an inch when the tires are new.

When I was looking at four inch lift kits for my new 2014, all of them required different backspacing than these rims. I don't want to buy new rims as well for my 2014 Sierra as they are only a year old. So I decided to stay with a level kit and one inch taller blocks in the back again. But I am wondering if anyone else has rims in this size and offset on the 2014? If you do, do you see any rubbing? If they are going to need to be replaced anyway, I might just get the lift kit and rims......

Thank you for your help.

With a basic 2" level kit, you could easily run 275/65/18 (32x11) using +18 offset with no rubbing. I have +18 offset wheels (they are 20 inch) and my 33x12 tires barely rub at full lock. I have a 2" leveling kit.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
