Where is the best place to buy wheels and or a wheel/tire combo on the net? I used to shop and piece my kit together but dont have the patience this go round. Im looking for a 20x10 with 33s.

 

Also what is the exact specs of our trucks i.e. hub bore, lug pattern? I know the stock wheels are +27 what offset would i need to run to avoid rubbing with a 2.25 level and 33x12.5 ? Truck is a 17 with a 2.25 level on 285 65 r18 ko2s and no rub.

Seems like 20x9 with a 0 offset or +1 offset is the safe bet. If I went to a 20x10, what offset can be ran?

it will most likely be -19 / -25

I just installed my wheels and tires tonight and have a little info for you Criscone. I have a 2" level up front and went with 20x10 -24 on 305/50r20. I had to take off the little black plastic piece on the corner of the cab and trim it. Also had to take a hammer to the sheet metal behind it a little bit. Now I can go full lock with no rub. If you go 305/55 on a 20x10, whether it be -12,-19,-24 you are going to probably have a good bit of metal and plastic trimming. I will try to get some pics up tomorrow or the next day.

Finally did it and couldn't wait so here's some dirty truck pictures. I'll clean her up this weekend and post some good ones.

 

Method NV 17" 0 offset with 295/70/17 Toyo R/T

King 3.0 front, 2.5 rear, both with compression adjusters

Mazzulla upper control arms

SDHQ skid plate with tow hook cutouts

It's everything it's supposed to be and more. Couldn't be happier. Ride is fantastic. Also sits dead level within 1/4" all around and no rubbing, no trimming.

Looks amazing, nice work! Love that front shot and skid.

She is dirty right now, been raining for several days. 20x10-24 XD 820 with Nitto G2 305/50r20.

Any rubbing with that setup

I had to trim the black plastic piece at the bottom of the wheel well on the cab and hammer back some of the metal. Now there is no rub at full lock, even in reverse. If you didn't know about it, you wouldn't be able to tell I had to trim it.

I bought this truck new just over two years ago and have 49k miles total. I work a lot at 60 miles a day plus the gym I go to adds an extra 15 miles a day to my work milage. I finally broke down and bought a 2010 Honda Accord as a daily driver last month lol

I kept my old beater car to use as a daily driver. They were only going to give me 1k for the trade in. Glad I kept it. I drive it Monday through Friday. My truck is 3 years old and I finally hit 20k on it.

That looks great! Like a Z71 oughta look coming out of the factory. I'll bet those Kings are sweet. Have you run them off road yet?

 

I'm holding back for 6112/5160 combo. Thinking about the NV standards (17") with a 33-34" tire.

Thanks! I have not, just back and forth to work since installing and taking to the shop to verify my alignment. Have a couple finishing touches to get done over the weekend. They ride amazing though! A nice firm controlled ride that soaks up big bumps, driveway lips, and speed bumps like they are nothing. No more float and bounce like stock. I could literally drive over my driveway lip at 30mph with an open cup in the cup holder and not spill a thing. Crazy.

That SDHQ skid plate looks great. I really want one but I would still need to mount my front license plate to it and I'm not sure if it would look good like that.

Truck is BAD. I dig it! Really wishing i could go snag me some Kings for mine. Going for wheels first though

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
