Well I'll be seeing you shortly then. I'll be going with the 18" NVs though. Going up to the tire store to get a good visual, still don't know wether to go with the 285/65 Toyo AT2's or 275/70 Ko2's. I do like the face of the 17" NV's more though, its actually concave vs the flat face of the 18" NV's.

I'm supposed to be getting my ko2's today. I love the tire tech in it but am having second thoughts about the look of the tire! Looks great on 17 or 18" rims but I am starting to hate the look of them on 20's. Maybe I've been staring at too many pictures...

Yeah, that was one of the reasons for 17 vs 18. The other reason is the offset. 17 you can get in 0. 18 you can get -12 or +18. I really love the look of 0 offset.

They look better in person, at least IMO.

You're right. I went to the local Ford dealer last night where they have a bunch of f150's modded with rims and tires to bring in the young guys (it works). Half of them had ko2's. and they looked great!

 

Now if all the dealerships would stop buying all the stock, I could finally get mine.

I was on the same boat as you, I saw a ton of guys on here with the 275/60r20 ko2 and was't all that impressed. Once they came in and we threw them on I was really blown away. Great looking tire. Post up pics once you get them on!

BFG KO2 275/65R20, RC 2" level (no rubbing)

Very little road noise, MPG doesn't seem to have been affected very much and ride quality is only slightly firmer than stock @ 42psi. Paid $1340 CDN installed. Overall very happy so far, I was debating a lot between the 60 and 65 but I'm glad I went this route. Looking forward to trying them in the snow.

 

Here's a before and after also:

Anyone who has run different offsets on their trucks have anything to say on fuel mileage relating to offset? On my 02 duramax I had some pro comp rock crawler 97 series 0 offset which were heavy as hell and I got much worse mileage with them than the stock wheels. There was no way for me to tell whether it was the weight of the wheel or the offset that affected the mileage. Any input?

Posted

It was the weight of the new wheel and tire as well as the increased width and rolling resistance. While offset may change aerodynamics slightly, you'll never see a real measurable difference on our trucks. Thats the only effect offset would have on mileage, its simply where the wheel and tire are located in the wheel well relative to the mounting flange.

Are 18s required on a max tow package silverado? Mine has OEM 18s. I want 17s in the future. Anyone know?

I see no reason at all that 18's would be required.

Had the tires and wheels installed an hour ago. Looks amazing actually. Really happy with that.

 

Unfortunately the balancing has to be off, the truck was shaking like a son of a on the highway.

 

Also unfortunately, my desktop crashed this morning so I can't upload pics from my camera and edit them...Will post as soon as I fix it.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
