Don't say that! I'm trying to talk myself into keeping my stock midnight edition 18's lol

 

It matters on what tire size you want to run lol, and wheel spacers are only safe if you maintain them properly. But that's a whole different ball game.

 

I didn't want to sell my GMC elevation rims but I didn't have a choice.

Wow, those look good, time for me to place my order. When you get a chance, post up of few more pics. Did you order those in a tire and rim package and if so, where did you order from. Thanks

no lift or level yet, slight rubbing in reverse but its just the liner. I have a 2.5 level I just haven't had the opportunity to install it yet.

I ordered them from https://www.customwheeloffset.com/ they have the best wheel and tire prices. I paid 1490 mounted balanced and shipped to my house. Shipping is free. I literally took them off the pallet bolted them up and drove away. The balancing was great and haven't had issues thus far.

Hey Guys,

 

Hoping I can get an answer here since its tire related instead of having to clog things up with a new thread....

 

I have a 2015 1500 midnight LTZ with factory black 18's. I currently have a 2" BDS level and planned on doing a 1.5 or 2" body lift. I believe I want a 33" tire and had all but decided on 275/70/18 General grabber AT2's since a bunch of guys at work all run them and seem to be very pleased. However, I just measured my buddy's 2014 Silverado 15000 with 18's whos running the same tire and it only measures 31.5" Overall diameter.

 

Am I missing something? I know manufactures are +/- a few tenths when they advertise tire diameter but I didn't expect it to be off almost 2" compared to what tirerack says is the overall diameter. (His tires are still at 80% tread depth)

 

Starting to wonder if if I need to go up to a 35" tire or if General's really run that small

Did you measure top to bottom or side to side

    • 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.     
    • 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. 
    • Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
