I own a powdercoat shop so I bought a spare set of stock 22's off craigslist and powdercoated them Matte Black

Well, I am sure to catch some flack on this but I really, really like my stock rims but I did add BFG KO2 275/60R20, I have the RC 2.25 level and have no rubbing.

I really like your setup, I have a 2017 Silvy LTZ and I'm interested in doing the same, tire size as well. Have you had any issues at all over time with the level or any rubbing?

Gotta side shot of the tires? Tires stick out any?

Finally got my PPV wheels installed today. Sorry for the dirty truck. 8e732e64c893185fcf8629ef9af50d54.jpg7ede23a14eddc7c60502488ba0dedc54.jpg

After reading through this entire thread I see lots of people running 285/65/18's with a 2"level which imo look great. I was wanting to run 295/65/18 duratracs to get a little bit beefier tire, but am unsure if they will fit. Only saw 1 post and guy said they slightly rubbed sway bar  on stock wheels. They're on sale for $326 (down from 435) a tire and would be great to pick them up. Anybody else have any experience running a 295/65/18 on either stock wheels or aftermarket with roughly +18 offset?

I ran stock 18" +18 offset method grid wheels on my 2015 with 305/65r18 falken AT3s on a 2" level and only rubbed the felt liner in reverse in one direction. 
You would definitely be good to go on aftermarket +18 offset wheels. I would think you might be ok on stock too, but i'm really not sure. 
I feel like i've seen it before. 

 

Depending on where the tires are at, they might do a test fit for you first.

That's good to hear. I might have to pull the trigger and go pick these up. 

They are from a store big box style store so I don't think they'll do a test fit. Maybe I can get a local tire shop to price match and do a test fit though. Thanks for the info

I just got a 2018 Sierra 1500 4x4 (eassist). Eventually I want to get the BDS 4" lift with fox coil-overs and run a stockier tire. Stock rims are 20s and I was wondering if I would be able to run 18s. Will the brakes fit inside 18" rims or are there other mods I will have to make to run 18s?

 

I've got my eye on the Method NV rims, what offset would you guys recommend with a 4" lift?

 

Thanks!

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
