Any rubbing?? And what size lift??

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In reverse if im backing down a hill, not at all in forward. I have a 4" lift.

I think if you go with a zero offset or closer to factory it wouldnt rub at all. I went with -12 because of the fender flares.

My full size spare with Cooper STT Pro, white letters out.

 

Let me know thoughts on the white letters out, I like it. As soon as I have some extra funds, I plan to put Cooper STT Pros all around.

Really sharp looking tires, but in my opinion the white letters take away from the appearance. I totally respect your choice and your truck will look great either way!

18x9 -12 offset wheels with 34x12.50 BFG KO2

Looks great, i'm running 4.5" of lift and the same size rims and offset, What made you decide to go with the 34x12.50 over the 305 65 they're almost identical in size and price? I'm looking at both for my next set of tires but it seems like the 305 65 is more readily available and the 34's have to be ordered.

You're right, its only a half inch taller and wider which is nothing, but Discount tire near me had the 34x12.50 in stock plus the 34's are KO2's and the 305's were the KO and I prefer the sidewall of the KO2's. I wanted it to be as wide as i could any way, because of the fender flares. You cant go wrong with either tire.

Actually on BFG's website they are both 33.5" even though they call it a 34, the 305 is 12.2" wide and 12.5" for the 34x12.50. I'm not sure why BFG makes 2 tires so close in sizes. The 305 has a higher load rating at a higher max pressure of 80 psi, max on the 34 is 65 psi. Now you can't find any of this info on their website they have everything all screwed up on there.

Anyone know the biggest size I could fit with a fabtech 3" front 2" rear with stock 20x9 +27 rims? Think I currently have 275/55/r20. Want something big and aggressive.

Oh ok, i didnt look at BFG. Then pretty much no difference. So just comes down to whats available I guess. I dont tow a lot with the 1500, I have a Duramax for the heavy work but for guys that do tow then the 305 would be the way to go for sure.

With the stock offset you can fit pretty big tires. I have seen some post's where guys ran 35's with factory wheels. He said no rubbing, so can probably get 33's or 34's on it with room to spare. I will find out soon as my wife wants some with more grip on her 2015. The guys at the tire shop I use will let use try a couple of sizes to see what fits without rubbing so maybe a shop near you will do the same.

That would be great!

I found these mud hog tires for around $800 for the set so pretty cheap for 275/65/20. Thunk those would be 34s. Would love to fit 35s tho!

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/262217845925

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
