How well does the dip hold up with tire rotations, etc.? I've been considering dipping mine, but was concerned with how it would hold up.

It seems to be doing ok. I've found if you take a pressure washer directly to the rim edge it will flake off. Touch-up is quick and easy though. Anytime I've been to the dealership they think its powdercoat. I'm up in new england so 3/4yr mine are covered in dirt/salt anyways. From 10ft away they look perfect, closeup you will definitely see it's not powdered. Hope this helps.

Recently swapped out stock 20" Chrome Denali wheels for 20x9 +18, Method Mesh Matte Black. Trying to tone down chrome, but wheel still has some accents.

 

 

Looks great, want to go similar route with my LTZ. Lot of chrome right now, but some dark wheels with a chrome accent tones it down a bit.

Looks great. I had my Civic Si wheels Plasti dipped and nothing would flake or anything. But I had them put on professionally, didn't use cans, but some sort of spray gun. Came out fantastic

Winter combo

Stock Denali 20"alloy rims with BF Goodrich KO2 275/550/20

Damn near the same circumference as my 295/45/22, so I don't have to change any speedometer setting.

Summer combo

 

 

 

 

Hi Greg any chance you could post a picture showing your truck with the winter setup on? I just bought a Denali and am curious how a more aggressive tire looks with the rest of the truck.

I have a 2015 silverado and have a RC 2.5" level kit, running a 305/55/R20 on factory wheels. Wanting to put a 1.5" body lift on top of that, to make a total of 4" of lift. With factory wheels, can I run a 35x12.5 tire?

From my stock 17s that came with the truck :) I still have brand new sealed GMC caps I need to sell them

Man friends are telling me to go ahead and get tires for my stock 20s but i still want methods bad. I can get 295/60/20 stt pros for 300$ a tire.

 

Thought about painting the regular rims black or anthracite but idk. I love the NVs.

 

Truth be told i don't want 20s. I want 17s or 18s.

Hey guys, I have been researching what wheels and tires will fit on my truck and im needing a little help. Has anyone out there been able to fit a 20x10 -24mm with a 285/55r20 on a 2.5 leveled silverado? I dont mind trimming or zip tying the liner back but DO NOT want to trim metal. I originally wanted to put a 305/55r20 on but that just doesn't seem possible.

Friend of mine is running 33x12.5x20 mud grapplers and as far as i could tell a little to no rub except at full lock. He swears they don't rub. I couldn't believe it but it clears well. Plenty of people are running 295/55/20s. I plan on going 295/60/20 if i keep my 20s.

I have 33x12.5x20 on 20x9 0 offset wheels and it rubs, not bad but it does. Your setup will stick out 0.6" more than mine so I think you'll have to do some plastic trimming but it will be close.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
