Here's my setup. I kept the size 18 wheels so I could keep the stock tire. I paid $535 plus tax for the new wheels but with tax and installation plus new lug nuts (stock lugs are too wide) it came out to $730 out the door. Wheels are by Pro Comp model 5034 common name Rockwell. 18x9 6x5.5

Hello,

 

New to the forum as I just signed up today but have been lurking since I got my truck in late 2015.

 

My wheel and tire set-up are as follows:

 

17x9 -12 offset Method Race The Standard in Matte Black

General Grabber X3 35x12.50R17 - Red Lettering

1 3/4" hub centric spacers are in installed on the rear axle

 

Truck is currently lifted 6.5", no rubbing

 

 

 

welcome

I think i've changed my mind on my plans. Ill probably go for a 20x9 +20 with 305/55's on a 2" level. How well would that work out? What can I expect in terms of rub and other issues?

Posted (edited)

Here is mine

 

2" RC Level

285/65r18 Trail Graps

Stock 18s

 

I plan on going to a 20X9 w/ a 295/55r20 here in the next few months. Have any of you successfully put on a 295/60r20 on 2" level w/ out trimming? I am looking at aroun +14 - + 18 offset wheels.

I had to ziptie the front fenderwells on the inner rear corners, that is all.

You need to pay attention to what version your control arms are (cast steel vs stamped steel vs alum) and what offset/backspacing people are running. There are reports of people rubbing with 305/50r20s, but I think they are on stock wheels with stamped arms. Others have run that with the same thing with minimal to no rubbing. So I think the control arms are the differences.

 

Moving from a stock offset (assuming +27 on a stock 20" wheel) to a +20 offset will gain you a little bit, but you still may not clear the control arms completely if they are stamped or alum.

I'll have to check out which ones i've got. I have the 17" wheels so I think my offset is actually only +24 offset. So i'd gain nearly next to nothing. The other offset option for these wheels is +1, or -12. So the 305 tires would be about 1.6" wider than I have right now. So if I go with +1, i'd get .9" saving from there. So effectively my tires would reach in an additional .7" or so. Think that would work? I just don't want a silly amount of tire sticking out from the well. A small amount is fine.

Hey guys I need some help. I'm buying tires this weekend and haven't decided on the size. I haven't seen much on here on 17s hopefully someone can help me. It's between 305/70r17 and 33x12.50r17. I'm going with the ridge grapplers and will be on 0 offset wheels and 2.5 leveled truck. I love the width of the 12.50 and the height of the 305/70

Is anyone running these sizes?

Be prepared to rub and do some major clearance mods

Looks great!

 

I think that's the first set of 20" Methods I've seen.

 

There's 20s somewhere in these 251 pages cause

I run 20x9 with a 0 offset. 305/55/20 - only rub is at full lock once in awhile on the inner liner in reverse. 1 little zip tie each side fixed that. No cutting, trimming, hammering etc. oh and all I have is a RC 2" level (bottom spacer).

So I am torn.....help me decide. I will be upgrading to either a 20X9 or a 20X10 in the next few months. I plan on running 295/55r20 Ridge Grapplers.

 

The 20X9 are 0 offset

 

The 20X10 are -19 Offset

 

I have a 2" Front Level Only

 

Will both of these work or is it safer to go with the 0 offset 20x9.

 

Also, help me decide on wheels. I want hostile sprockets but can't decide between black or chrome. I plan on eventually color matching the bumpers and grille if that makes a difference.

 

I have also considered Moto Metal 962s as well in either chrome or black.

    • Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.  
    • New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
    • No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

    • - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
