Was just noticing that. I wanted to go with 18's or 20's and all black. Any rubbing?

No rubbing, but I have 285/65 with 2.5 level.

No worries, your's looks great too and almost the same setup lol.

Thank's man.

No problem! :thumbs:

Guys quick question on the rims. 5rwill has 0 offset. If he was at +18 would that move the tire/rim out or in....and if out by how much more than 0 or the flush look?

Gibson and Stroker, well done gentleman. More tire ✅ less wheel ✅ That beats those 22's and rubber bands ANYDAY. ???

While i can't tell you the dimensions inward or outward (though i think it's mm IIRC) + is inward towards the wheel well. Negative offset is outward. Take a look at these -12s

That's why i went with 17s as well as the added benefit of tire prices. I'd have gone 16s if they would've fit, honest to God. I'm all for cheaper tires.

 

For those of you that moved to some aggressive heavy 33s like Toyos...what the hell did you do to remedy the loss in MPG? Lol i just cruised here in the delta (it's flat) at 45mph, was holding 17mpg. Compared to 20-24 with the stock tires. I'm thinking exhaust and tune to bring some power back. At the very least to remedy the throttle response issue. I thought the truck was somewhat sluggish with stock tires. Put these huge things on and it's very very noticeable.

The higher the number the more in it gets. For example a +27 will be more inwards compared to a +18. The negatives take it outwards. A zero could give you a flush look or like my case I have fuel Mavericks with a +20 offset but my tires are 33x12.5x20 which then makes it flush because the tires are so big.

Well your mpg math will be off a little due to running a taller tire unless you recalibrate your speedo and

hell if you adjust that you might as well go ahead and get a tune. That won't really help though because you won't be able to keep your foot out of it. I just took off a set of LT285/65/18's and swapped for a set of LT 275/70's and that helped a little, plus the 285's were Nitto Trail Grapplers and they rode like shit. Felt like riding on tank tracks felt really heavy. Now I'm running Cooper AT3's and they feel like p rated tires. Plus they're a little narrower so there is less rolling resistance. And my lazy butt can still drive thru the auto car wash. These tires aren't as sexy as the Nittos but at least it doesn't sound like my dash is going to fall apart. My phone is playing dumb tonight and I can't post pics for some reason but you can go to my profile and check out a few post back. There should be some pics where I compared the two tires.

As for throttle response, try driving in M5 or M7 if you have 8 speed unless you're on the interstate and use tow haul mode and the truck will feel better but that won't really help your mpg. You should see my mpg. I'm lucky to get 9 mpg right now because I just switched back to E85 plus I have a 2.5 level and removed the lower air dam/valence.

Get yourself a Blackbear tune. You will kick yourself for not doing it on day one. Worth every penny. And if you buy an Autocal you can have a few different tunes. One for performance, one for fuel savings or whatever you like.

I'm planning a blackbear tune + Borla XR1 at the moment. Probably sooner than later at this point. I'll find a decent muffler shop to get what i want done, put the exhaust on and then get the tune.

Mine was pretty sluggish when i first got my larger/heavier tires. Then I installed the intake and exhaust and that helped bring back some power. You may disconnect/reconnect the battery to start the relearn process and get an exhaust put on. That helped me regain that loss and then some. Mine didn't lose much, just had to learn how the truck was responding with the heavier/larger tires. Mine just keeps getting better too, at least it feels that way. Then ABSOLUTELY TUNE IT. That's my next step. hopefully soon.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
