Going to look sweet with some MTs :D

 

Those seem to be the wheel of choice for the 2014+ trucks.

 

I cant seem to find any wheels that i like. I did see 1 set of billets from fuel that were kinda nice but even American Force doeant have wheels that i like. Until i see something i like im just going to run the stock...... I did like the escalade 22z with MTs

Thanks man! Yea I really like them. If I didn't get such a good deal on them I would've kept my stock wheels. They are pretty overplayed, but I'm not worried about everyone else. I think they look great.

Thats what is most important.... That YOU like them.

 

What tires are you going to get??

Has anyone weighed these gynormous tire/wheel combos to see how much heavier they are than an oem combo? Most of them look like they'd play hell on the brakes, mpg and who knows what else.

Thanks Volsfan!

 

It's hard to say, for sure, since each truck will sit just a little differently, but I would think that if you had any rubbing, it would only be on the mud flap (if you have them). A lot of guys just dremel out a little piece of it to make it clear, or pull back the liner with a zip tie. Either way, you'd get a good amount of extra clearance.

 

I have run 2 different tire setups, both 33x12.50x20 (Toyo M/T and now A/T) with + 18 rims and neither have rubbed whatsoever. Here is a clearance shot with the M/Ts:

The +1 offset is going to be the difference maker, though, but lots of guys on here run them.

I appreciate the feedback! I actually ordered my setup today. Install is this Tuesday.

 

Went with the 2.5" RC lift, Fuel Off-road Nutz 20"x9 +1 offset black and machined finish wrapped in 305/55R20 Falken Wild Peak AT. Can't wait.

Awesome man, love that wheel. Now the worst part...the waiting game!

 

Post some pics up once you get them installed!

I got the wheels from member on here and he has some Toyo RT's and I was very impressed with them so leaning that way.

Those of you that have had the issue with the retaining clips on the hubs causing vibration, did you have to remove them on all four wheels or was it just on the rear?

 

Just had some new wheels mounted and balanced twice over the weekend because when I get on the highway it vibrates like crazy. Shop says tires are in spec and balanced correctly, so this is the only other thing I can think of. Really want to take care of this when I get home today.

They are only on the rear. 1 clip on 1 of the 6 lugs per side. Your can pry it off with a screwdriver.

So I just checked my wheels and there are no clips on the rear hubs on either side. Does anyone know if there are any on the front? I know your supposed to take them off the rear, but is there a chance there would be any on the front?

None on the front. Do you have Hub centric rings on the wheels?

I believe I do. There is a black resin/plastic type ring that fits around the hub and fits right into the wheel

Hmm, they're either balanced incorrectly or they weren't torqued down correctly. The pattern in my aftermarket wheel manual states to torque them down to 100 and then to 140 in the following patter (think clock). 12-6-2-8-4-10. Might give that a try. I had to mess with mine a little before they seated correctly but your balance or road force could be off.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
