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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      This landing is worse than most. Patchy blacktop with washouts, soft gravel/sand at bottom that washes out with every heavy rain. I tell everyone to put it in 4WD. A lot of them think they can pull out their trailer in 2WD. They end up digging a hole and then putting it in 4WD.  The lake is a pristine lake and has a lot of money on it. There are several wake boats and lot of large tritoons. The people with the money don't want it improved because they don't want more traffic.    Boat Landing 1.jfif Boat Landing 2.jfif Boat Landing 3.jfif

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      How wide are your rims?   Toyo specs 8.5-10.0-11.0 inches. My thought would be rim might be pulling the tire inwards creating a center that is more pronounced.    I also noticed that the spec sheet says max 65psi. So you could be right lowering the pressure to ~40 psi.
