Can someone explain to me what offset means exactly? I don't feel I have a good grasp on it.

 

For instance, I am considering a 20x9 fuel maverick. I believe these come in +20, +14, and +1. With either a 33 or 35" tire.

 

The offset has to do with where the center of the wheel is, correct? Assuming that is correct, which offset pushes the tires out or keeps em in tight? Or does offset even move tire placement in relation to the vehicle? Is there a significant difference in these options? I'm assuming one of these options is more likely to rub than the others...

 

Does the +20 push the tires further out than the +1? or the other way around?

 

Also for comparison, does anyone know what the stock 20" wheel offset is? I remember reading what it was, but can't find it/don't remember.

 

 

Lotta questions there, so thanks! One day I will buy a new truck and put all this information to good use!

The more negative the number is the more it will stick out. A stock 20 is +27 offset

Thanks for the info man. I've got a 2.5 on mine up front so hopefully that will clear the fender. The guy I got these wheels from had a set of RT's on his truck and I'd been on the fence about them until I saw them in person. He had nothing but good things to day about them as well.

 

 

Yeah hopefully everything works out for you. I know I went with the Fabtech 4" kit which is basically a glorified leveling kit with tubular upper control arms and a drop down diff bracket and a block and new shocks for the rear. The truck rides great and I didn't have to trim anything after that. I was wondering if I were to add the Zone 1.5" body lift would I be able to run 35's?

What size are those tires? I don't want a level or lift. Looking at 275/70-18 or 285/65. Looks good.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

 

Looking to upgrade my 18" OEM's with 22" SEY's. I'm really focused on how the tire will look when its mounted. There's a certain look I like, and a certain look I don't like. I don't like how the factory tire looks. I've seen someone post some pages ago that had the Cooper Zeon LTZ's. That is the tire I'm looking for. I believe they were listed in the pic as being a 305/40/22. I think I'm going to stick with a 285/45, however when I look at Cooper's website I don't see that they make the Zeon LTZ's in a 22. I'm hoping that someone will say "you didn't look at the right spot, they make them and here they are", hence the reason for my post.

 

Anyone have any insight maybe or if not, maybe a mfg. that has a very similar style to the Zeon LTZ. Thanks!

 

EDIT: So some internet searching and I found them available in the 305/40/22. Issue I would see is they recommend a 10" rim width and the OEM's only come in a 9" that I've been able to find.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Slate Electric Truck

      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.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
