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.

Well I'll give that a shot. 2 of the tire shops said I should probably just get new tires based on the wear, but I'd rather not buy any yet. The tires were smooth as silk going down the highway before I switched rims. Could it be that because these are a little wider they will just vibrate due to wear? Maybe it is the tires.

I have posted on here before when I just had the leveling kit installed, not sure if I have posted since I installed RCX 5". Also added .5 Lower strut tgc spacer, total 5.5" of lift. I am running a 20x10 -12 fuel Mav. with Nitto trails. Do you guys think I could run a 295/60 with lift setup?? I am thinking of going to the Toyo AT II's also. Thanks in advance! attachicon.gifimage.jpeg

Well I took the truck to discount tire this morning instead of the 3 different NTB's I've taken it to look at this. DT took a little bit of weight off and moved the weights to the inside lip of the wheels. Originally they were on the outside edge of the inner wheel. My problem seems to be solved. No vibrations driving into work this morning!

Me too man! I was pretty disappointed at first when I left NTB friday. I got a lot of vibrations when I got on the belway. Figured it was a simple balancing issue, so 2 more trips to NTB and a trip to DT got it taken care of lol. Anyway, hope your buddy is loving the rims the same way I'm loving these!

What is NTB? Discount tire has been great with me, my k02s on my old F150 came from their and they had excellent service! Have treated the wife really well there too, no absurd up selling like our local GM dealer.

I usually use Discount tire for all of my wheel/tire needs. At the time I got my rims over the weekend, NTB was closer so I unfortunately went that route.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.
