Yup forgot about that one. I do see in mass trucks w tires past the fenders but if they get pulled over who knows. My tint is 20% and legal in mass is 35 but I never have trouble on it. With a - 12 the tires should be a little more tucked. I just wish I knew how far out that it would look. My friend has a f350 with 35x12.5x20 on fuel assaults. Def sits outside. He has had no problems and his truck is big

There's a lot of info in this thread about general recommendations. You're going to need to be a lot more specific to get a recommendation that is sure to fit your needs, as opposed to just general blanket statements.

 

Are you going with the stock wheels? If not, what offset? Do you have aftermarket UCAs? If not, are your stock ones cast steel, stamped steel, or aluminum?

 

Do you care more about minimizing road noise and better on-road performance or lean more toward maximizing your weekend off-road performance. And will you be driving in snow and ice with them?

These may rub on your sway bar and UCAs depending on wheels and UCAs. This is exactly why I suggest he clarify his current setup.

20x9 -1 offset i believe its suppose to sit how stock is from inside.

Aluminum control arms, i was told with the tires that fully oversteer there wont be rubbing with tires. Cant confirm till i get the setup on.

 

I have all 4 seasons here in my state, id like to still have rating to travel 100, low road noise and be able to grab the trails wet and dry when i take her off the pavement. If possible still get great treadlife too.

Loving your set up as well, looks great! have you actually measured what the ridge grapplers are? i have found nittos to run smaller

 

yea im curioius what the actually measure

 

In the driveway at 35psi, front measured just under 32 and and rear just over. I need to contact BFGoodrich and see if I should be running a higher psi.

I'm not sure what "supposed to sit how stock is from inside" means. It definitely won't be the same stance as stock wheels of any configuration. I don't know what your stock wheels are, but from a 20" SLT wheel (+27mm offset), a -1 will move your tire out a full inch. And if you're going for a large tire size, it may cause your tire to rub on the actually fender/wheel well edge where you have to trim metal, as opposed to just having to zip tie the liner.

 

Aluminum control arms, i was told with the tires that fully oversteer there wont be rubbing with tires. Cant confirm till i get the setup on.

I'm pretty confused here, too. Not sure what oversteer has to do with rubbing on UCAs or the sway bar. Who is giving you this info? If you are considering buying tires from them, I would go somewhere else.

 

You won't have issues rubbing with 305's if you go with the -1 offset. If you have SLT stock wheels and have a +27 offset (or similar), there's a high chance you'll rub with aluminum (or stamped steel) UCAs and 305 width. There are a lot of "OMG I'm rubbing with 305's on a 2.5" level - HELP" threads because it seems the cast steel UCAs have a bit more clearance than the stamped/Alum ones and the different UCAs aren't a common spec listed when people post their setup and claim no rubbing.

So... you want it all with no compromise? Gotcha [emoji6]

 

I would go with BFG K02s in your situation. I was basically had many of the same desires, but didn't care as much about the road noise so I went with the STT Pros. There are a lot of fans of different AT's and MT's here, but I place a good bit of important on winter performance without going to a straight snow tire. The K02's and the STT Pros stood out in my research, and I liked the look of the STT Pros despite the minor hum at higher speeds. Plus I have used the BFG's before and wanted to give the STT Pros a try.

You should be fine with 305's with that offset. It will be close but the extra 1/4" clearance compared to stock wheels should help.

I posted some of this in "what did you do" yesterday, but figured I need to throw it in here with a few more pictures so it's in the right place.

 

Visited Discount Tire today in Santa Fe and they took pretty good care of me. I'm incredibly happy with how this turned out.

I did test fit one of the STT Pro 295/70r18's that I had previously tried, but with these new +18 wheels instead of the +0 wheels I had tried before. They would have required trimming metal still - not on the fender edge but maybe an inch or so to the inside on the rear of the front wheel well. Definitely more trimming required than just the liner. I may try to measure that 295 that I still have before I return it as a comparison to the other tires measured on here. It won't be on the vehicle but it's still mounted to the rim. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the test mounting because my phone was dead [emoji1361]

 

These STT Pros definitely have a bit of a hum to them at 80mph, which I expected despite the "super quiet for MT style" claims. Nothing I won't drown out with the radio though (or maybe an exhaust mod in the future... [emoji39]). They are my first MT or at least hybrid MT, although I've had Duratracs and BFG ATs (non KO2) before.

 

They rubbed a bit on the rear side of the front liners on the way home - enough that if I let it go it would bend the liner up. One drilled hole and a zip tie per side and they've got plenty of clearance now.

 

Passenger side - you can sort of see where the liner caught and started to bend up on the inside lower corner. Second pic is the driver's side for comparison.

So maybe someone can answer this because I'm stumped. I've been looking at wheel on gmc's and silverado's in 20x9 +1 and 20x 10 -12 here and on the custom offset gallery. The tire I'm getting is a 285/55/20 toyo open country at2. So in 2 separate browsers I plug in the the 9 and the other the 10 with it stipulated a 285/55/20 tire. Obviously the 10 -12 should stick out further. I can see 3 diff trucks with the 20x10-12 with that size tire and all 3 have a different amount they stick out. Same with the 20x9 +1. Some 20x10-12 look perfect then some others look too far out. Anyone notice this...seems to be no conformity

You're going to need to post links or something. What are you using to "plug in the 9", etc. Are these trucks online, in person, on a configuration mock-up page?

 

Lifts, spacers, etc can all affect width.

      Anyone had to replace their Onstar module a.k.a. Telematics unit?

      By davester · Posted

      Hasn't come up in the 3 gm forums I follow. And only gm knows the frequency of failure of that part. LMG, you want a recall so it's replaced for free...

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By newdude · Posted

      You need a better code reader/scanner.  You are missing codes.  Did the dealer give you a copy of the SAVI scan from that visit?     If the fluid hasn't been changed, change it.  Shudder will likely go away.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By newdude · Posted

      TLDR to my other post...   Hard. Pass.  Too many what ifs.     Are you set on a 3.0 Duramax?  Have you considered anything not GM just in case?  If you don't have to have a pickup, lots of other options for $27,000 out there.

      I see some red flags.   - No mention in the Carfax if the oil pump belt was changed.  LM2s had a 150,000mi service interval, and its got 164,245mi on it.  So right out the gate it needs about $3000-3500 for that to be done before driving it another 150,000mi.  Belt is at the rear of the engine.     - If something happens to the transmission valve body, the special coverage is expired by mileage.  That will likely be an out of pocket expense, with zero or near zero GM participation if something happened even though its in by time.   - 2020 LM2s seem to need timing chains after 80,000mi at some point.  They fixed this end of 2020/starting 2021 model year engines.  They will usually set a P0016 I think?  There is another $8000-10,000 if it needs a chain.  The main chain is at the back, secondary at the front so the pump belt would be done at the same time if it needed chains.     - Long oil change intervals.  7,000-8,000mi on average, probably close to 0% or perhaps to or beyond 0% on the OLM.  Lots of them not at the dealer which makes me wonder how much of the oil ran through that truck was the proper Dexos D rated 0w20 oil and not just gas engine 0w20, which is not the same at all.     - Long fuel filter changes, again likely taking the fuel filter life to 0% or more.  First one went 28,603, second was done 43,094 miles later at 71,697, from there another 46,452mi to 118,149mi, and then the most recent one 37,026mi later at 155,175mi.  So counting its original fuel filter, its had only 4 fuel filters on it.  No bueno IMO.         Good news?    - It has had only two warranty trips to the dealer.  The first free service (end of December 2020 on the Carfax), and the transmission reprogram recall (end of August 2025 on the Carfax).     - Truck did a LOT of moving, so that might explain the lack of emissions related repairs like bad NOX sensors, bad exhaust temp sensors, bad glow plugs, etc.         The "emissions system checked" could just be how something was flagged for Carfax.  GM dealers have to do SAVI reports for warranty repair orders so they scan the truck.  So its possible that is there for that?

      Thank you, @Z45!   NOTE - No all repair shop/Dealers reports to Carfax   That is my main concern.  The CARFAX looks way too clean for a 6 year old anything with 164,245 miles.  Even something known for reliability (like many Toyotas) typically has a lot more replaced, like a Nav screen, interior trim, shock/strut, or brake pads.  And surely the last set of tires (installed at ~58k miles) would be bald unless those were all highway miles.   I'm tempted to pay a local dealer to look up the VIN, but am not sure if that will be worthwhile.  Last time I did this, it was 100% useless, and I felt scammed - they noted the bumper was replaced years ago and that's it.  A 5-year old could spot the accident damage, even though nothing was on the CARFAX.   After giving the dealer a call, the truck may have a hard shift, but they have to verify with their mechanic if that's even a concern.  And I've test driven about a dozen of these now, many near Chicago, and half the trucks shift hard/odd at all throttle positions.  The ones with aftermarket lifts/larger tires shift terrible, and 3 stock trucks shifted so violently I thought the transmission valve body was going out.   At this point I'm conflicted, as I need a vehicle, and am coming up short locally.  Northern trucks in this price range tend to have either multiple owners, a lot of mods (lifts/oversized tires without re-gearing), and are generally in rougher shape.   If this truck showed up in your neighborhood for $27k and you had to purchase it sight-unseen, with the possibility of needing a 10L80 rebuild, torque converter, or rear end - would you do it?  I'm convinced most of the 10L80 trucks I test drove are broken, they can't all shift so bad, with massive flares/slipping/lurching and mis-matched downshifts like a teen driver learning stick.
