Either will be perfectly fine. I'd go with +14, so they stick out a tad more.

Maybe not as bad as you think, if you haven't corrected your speedometer. 5% bigger tire so if you've went 100 miles according to your odometer, you've really went 105 miles.

 

Lets say on a 15 gallons of gas you went 300 miles (according to the odometer), the dashboard says 20mpg

 

But really, with the taller tires you went 315 miles, so you really got 21mpg

That makes total sense!!! Thanks for the post and the information. :loser:

Couldn't seem to locate this information: what is the offset/back spacing on a stock wheel for a 2015 Sierra 1500 all terrain with 20"? What offset/back spacing would I need on an aftermarket wheel to have it stick out a bit further? I'm specifically looking at Fuel Assaults.

 

Thanks

20x9 +27 is stock in most cases I believe.

 

Personally, I think 0 offset is just about perfect. But, everyone likes different looks.

Got em' mounted. Played it safe and went with 285/45R22's in the OE Bridgestone Dueler AT's. Wish they were a little wider but didn't want any rubbing.

That is one clean truck. Perfect

Uneven ground in the first picture, the front is NOT higher than the rear

So I have a 2014 Denali 4x4, I am going to change struts/shocks to Bilstein 5100's. I have decided on Dueler AT Revo 2's for rubber, my question is regarding the size, what are your opinions between 275/60R20 vs 275/65R20 with regards to fitment? Will the added weight of the 65's make much of a difference. Changing from GY LS2's 275/55 BTW, thanks in advance.

It seems everyone on this forum says they went with BFG KO2 but I want to look at other options in A 275/65r20. Anyone have any experience with any of the following?

 

Toyo Open Country AT2 ($1000)

Cooper Discover ST Maxx ($1150)

Cooper discover AT3 ($950)

BFG T/A KO2 ($1180)

I had Cooper ST Maxx's before my current Toyo's. I liked the ST Maxx's and would have gotten another set when I upgraded to 33's but couldn't turn down the open country's. The ST Maxx tread is great and looks great. They don't throw nearly as many rocks as an AT tire will. They look tough too.

Agreed 0 offset is perfect on a 9 inch wide rim with these trucks.

After running both would you still go back to ST Maxx or stick with the toyo?

I went with Fuel Beast 0 offset. Puts them out about an inch wider than stock. It does limit you to how wide of a tire you can go with though, unless you do more than a level only. I rub with 275/65/20s. Not horrible but it's still there, so if you want to go with a wider than stock tire keep that in mind

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
