Hey guys, new to the forum, but have read a lot. Got a 2014 Silverado and getting ready to install a RC 2.5" level kit. Right now it has the stock alum 18" wheels, considering XD strike 20x9 with a +18 offset and 285/60/20 tires, but don't want them outside the fenders and no trimming or rubbing. Do any of you all have any experience with this setup? Any other suggestions? Thanks

I'm thinking the hostage in Anthracite would look good on the iridium

 

 

I think so as well, though i just would rather have this design. Unfortunately method doesn't have an anthracite coating yet. Though their matte black looks grey depending on the lighting. I'll think i'll be fine with black though might have them powder coated anthracite. I feel like anthracite or a darker shaded silver that doesn't have such a metallic sheen to it like the stock chrome wheels goes well with Iridium.

New wheels on prior to the full lift going on..3" level 22x12 33x12.50 rubs like crazy! Just have to tough it out a day before the lift goes on

Were you selling some 22" cky wheels a few weeks ago on DFW Craigslist? I saw your truck posted in one of the images. Really thought about buying them too.

Such a good looking truck. Are those 18"s on 33" tires?

Yeah, I think you're right. That should look sick on Iridium.

17s on 35s. 4.5" spindle lift IIRC. I'll have to dig up the link to the specs on that truck.

Starting to think these rims will match Iridium Metallic. Depending on what kind of light your in, they look anywhere from black to sterling gray/anthracite.

Thanks for reply. Those Duratracs look good. I may consider those.

 

Another question guys. I'd appreciate any input. There's a guy on GMFS running 295/70r17 on a 2014 with a 2" level but he didn't state whether he had any rubbing issues. If I were to run a 295/70r17 tire on a 17x8.5, 0mm wheel, does anyone know if I'd have rubbing issues?

 

I believe those wheels would stick out just about 1" more than my stock 18x8.5 z71 wheels with +24mm offset (or am I wrong?).

I'm running 17x8.5 +15 offset american outlaw rims and 295 70 17 nitto trail grapplers. Rc 2.5 level kit with the rear blocks that came in the kit. No rubbing. Flush with the fender.

Huge help, thanks a lot. Have a call into my dealer to see if this can be done. Makes the difference between being maxing out at a 305/50/20 and getting to put on the 295/55R20's that I want.

 

I've missed it if you posted anywhere. Were you able to make this work?

2.5 Rough Country kit with rear blocks. Stock AT wheels with Toyo Open Country M/T 275/65/20=34.5x11. Slight rub on front wall but no trimming required IMO.

Hey I noticed your post and I am wanting to put the 275 65 20 toyo mts on my stock ltz rims with the same leveling kit u got?

 

How has it worked out for you. I love the look of your truck

    • Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.  
    • New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
    • No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

    • - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
