Damn... I should have gotten NV's instead of Mesh.

 

Sorry about your accident.

Thought i wanted Mesh for a long time until i started going back and forth between machined face and black. I love the black Mesh. I hate the machined face mesh. Dunno why. Ended up taking a liking to the NV and have been set on them ever since.

 

lol, I was upset. But once I pulled over the guy pulled in behind me and looked at his mirror and said, "I'm ok if your ok with it!"

:nonod:

I looked over to my fender and door and was like, "sorry man. I'm not ok with it. My fender and door are pretty dinged up"

Dude could barely get out of his car, I felt bad and wasn't all that upset then. Shit happens, hopefully his insurance forks up and pays for it quickly.

Just make sure and check out both 17" and 18" version of the NV's. The 17's have a more natural concave face where the spokes actually curve in. The 18"s are flat face and just have a lip around the wheel. They both look great, just depends on what look and tires you want to go with.

Will do i think i'll be fine with the 17s. Hell if 16s would fit i would get those. Cheaper tires is my game :D Plus the 16s my dad has on his 2500hd have really really grown on me. Love all that tire around a small rim.

^Dammit. They're now putting the wheels I just bought on the 2017 GMC's from the factory (Yeah I know the Silverado blackout has them too). At least I didn't buy rock stars or fuel mavericks or... :lol:

Okay so gm wanted 700 to adjust my tune for my tires but they have a cheaper option by hypertech they recommend for me at 300 and it will fix my speedo and my tire size I don't jo much about it anyone know more. On this tuner or using it maybe?

Spend that money and buy a Diablo intune tuner. Much more beneficial. You can adjust tore size and also get much better performance over stock.

The Diablo was more money then the hyper and unfortunately I'm not risking voiding my Warrenty at least this way with the tunner I won't void warrenty asked gm already and it will fix my speedo and I can adjust up to 36" tires

Any guys run or know anyone that runs 20x12's on 33's with a 2.5" level? I have some 20x12's that I want to run on my truck with 305/55r20 Terra grapps but I want to get an idea of how much I'll have to trim.

Might need the 3.5 inch lift for that but I could be totally wrong

I ran into a guy on instagram that did it but it was a long time ago. I forgot his IG name. I have a picture of his setup.

I'm sure a 305/50 would work but I want to go 33" if it's possible without hitting metal.

Idk is tough, I'm sure it will rub. I have a 3" level and 20x10 -24 offset on 305-55-20 and it rubbed a little at full lock on the back carpet so I had to cut it and zip tie it back then hammer in some of the metal cus I wanted to make sure it would never touch it and explode my tire.

Test fit them. They rubbed really bad against the rear fender mold/lining. Any pics you can send me of the trimming and work u did?

    • On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?
    • I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.
    • I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it. 
    • Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.
    • That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
