Waiting to see pics of these mounted! Please include wheel size, offset, tire make/size, and lift info (if any) when you do. This is one setup I've been wanting to do. Going to be buying them as a Christmas present to myself very soon if I like what I see! Thanks :)

Hey Iversun,

 

Here are a few pics. I had to have one of the wheels rebalanced and they royally scratched the shit out of the lip, so hopefully I can get it compounded out this evening. Here are some more pics in the meantime! They stick out a decent bit but I love the look. It rubs at full lock in reverse which I have to figure out the best solution to take care of that.

 

Wheels: 20x9 0 offset

 

Tires: Nitto Terra Grappler G2 305-55-20XL

Just got 20x9 gray wheels +18 offset, wrapped in 275 60r20 duratrac wranglers. Rubs mudflap pretty good in forward and reverse. This common? I read a bunch of reviews today that said they clear easy... Ordering 2.5" rough country level tmrw.10b6fde143fff3ae620a2c02301c9062.jpg5cf82cd31d8ee27eb3169b3be6a18a04.jpgdbeb70cb0a412ab3c79381fa3b5d57b8.jpg

Edit... Took out the front mud flaps and they clear by a margin of about .01 inches. Will need a level.

I ended up notching my mudflaps with a dremel tool. I only had to cut aprox 1-2" in the rear by the last mounting point where it wouldnt be seen nor affect the mudflap itself and also did the ole ziptie trick to pull the inner fender liner back a scoshe. You can see what im talking about in the above pics Edited by dbcooper748

I just replaced my P255/70/17 on my 2015 with terragrap g2 in P285/70/17. If I recalibrate speedo will it improve throttle reponse or mpg? Not sure if nowadays they also use speed to effect shifting or when V4 is enabled. At least that's what I've read a couple people said, but not sure I'd they're just blowing smoke.

 

I don't care if speedo is off 5%, but with 3.05 gears I've noticed truck is more sluggish. I understand the increase in diameter requires more torque to turn but I'm surprised it was that noticible.

Recalibration of the speedo is not an easy task. You will need a custom tune, as the dealer cant/or wont do it

I posted this on the general forum as well but was looking for insight into this if you all might have some:

 

I got my wheels and tires all mounted up, everything went perfect. Low road force etc. I ordered Hub Centric rings and went back to have them installed. For some reason one of the tires went from like 13lbs of road force to 33lbs. So they spun the tire on the rim, got it down to 23lbs. Still not great, so we might order a new tire. In the process they managed to scratch the lip of the rim all the way around using the runout wheel on the Hunter machine.


They reluctantly agreed to get me a new wheel but tried to sell me on "having it refinished". Um no thanks, not for a perfect brand new wheel.

I told them I would take some compound to the scratches to see if they would come out. Some came out but I am still not happy with it. They don't seem to be entirely too deep and I think a couple more tries, I might be able to get them out, who knows. Note: this is around the entire circumference of the wheel so it would take me a while to get all of them out. Might bust out the Orbital.

 

If anybody might have some advice on how to get these out, it would be greatly appreciated!

Here are some pics, before and after compounding once.

Before: around entire circumference of wheel

After compounding: still there but might come off with a few more tries

305/65r18's gonna fit on a +18 9" rim with 2" level? Discount Tire is suggesting 285/65-18 but they're always a bit conservative.

That tire is a 33.6" you will almost definitely have some rubbing at full lock in reverse. Im running a 33.3" on 2" level with +18 offset and had to trim my mudflaps and pull fender lining back but its cured now. Zero rubbing.. Plus im only running a 285 wide tire. 305 would rub imo but probably clear sway bar and all structral.

See here for comparison https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=285-65r18-305-65r18

Bfg has it at 12.2 and 33.5. If I could pull it off with no metal modifications I'd be fine. Am also considering a 1.5" body lift FWIW, just not sure when.

You might get a slight rub but probably be ok if you run a wheel with a plus 20 or greater offset like the stock wheels. I have 285 65 18 Toyo AT II's and the rub at full lock in reverse with a 2.5" front. i want to go with the 305 65 18 bfg KO2's but Think I'll need at least a 1.5" body lift and possibly bump the front level up to 3" to get them to clear on a -12 offset.

It's been done with BFG AT's on stock 18" rims and a 2" level....but stock rims keep them tucked in, and BFG's tend to run a bit small. You may need to do some trimming, depending on the type of tire you choose.

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
