Leveled with Fox PS2.0 Coilovers and shocks 

Fuel Sledge 18x9 +1

Nitto RidgeGrappler LT295/70 r18 

Plenty of rub at 7/8th turn, but slowly trimming mostly liner, but might need to bend some metal

I didn't see any replies to your questions so I will answer as best as I can.  Yes they will be loud, not sure about the wear of tread on these guys.  You will more than likely have to trim with such a wide tire.  It is doubtful that when they took the measurements they took into consideration the tread depth so it will probably be sitting up a bit taller.

 

I realize this is pretty late and you might have already purchased them.  Let us know if you did!  The tires do look great and would be interested in the feedback myself.

I did buy the wheels but with an AT tire.  305/55/20. side wall rubs a little on the A arm when tire is cranked all the way. Other than that nothing on fender walls.

I started to post earlier that my vote was for the chrome wheels. I was right.. your truck looks great! What offset do you have?

Double stuffed Oreo right there.   You need at least 4" of lift to run those tires.

For now, I am enjoying the double stuff. 285/70s were out of stock with no ETA nation wide as far as I can tell. Might try those next time, or if they come available sooner, since Discount Tire will swap for free or discount if past 30days.

Rides so much better than stock! Only thing so far I am worried about is with the volcanic "rock" they use on the passes here in Washington and Oregon, without front mud flaps, it tends to rip the paint up near the fender well.

It's interesting that the 295/70/18 is almost like a 35" tire while the 295/70/17 is a 33.3" tire. I'll be doing 295/70/17 with a 2" rc level, hoping it won't rub too much

You mean they'll swap tire size even if they've been the truck? Does that cover mount and balance or do you have to pay for it again?

my sales guy, who agreed the tire was going to fit, said I had 30 days to a free swap. I am assuming that means mount, balance, etc. The official policy seems to be "If you’re ever not satisfied with your purchase, bring it back and we will make it right. That is our promise."

We'll see I think, because I might even go down to a 275/70, if they can't find 285/70. What I want is 33.75x11.5, but there is no such thing.

There's exactly 1" difference in height between those 2 sizes. They'll be the same width and the same sidewall height. The only difference is the rim size, which will increase the overall diameter by 1".

    • This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.  
    • Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL? 
    • consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.
    • can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?
    • Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
