Just ordered my Nitto Terra Grappler G2's in a 305/45R22's and replica 22" CK158's. I will post some pics once they are all mounted up.

 

Question popped into my head just now. With everyone on here that has changed tires/rims and given that my OEM (265/65R18) are approx. 31.6'" overall and the Nitto's are 32.8" overall, has anyone changed out their spare tire to something closer in size so you are not running on a 1" difference between tires if the unfortunate happens?

Excellent question. This is the kind of thing that keeps me awake at night. Great minds...

I did have to zip tie the fender well liner back. You just poke a hole in the liner and use a zip tie to hold it back. It just took a couple of minutes on each side.

Hey Dawg, I've never looked behind the liner, what is back there that you wrap the tie around?

You zip tie the bottom of the liner to a hole in the frame. When you pull it tight, it pulls the liner in a couple of inches.

I was wondering the same thing and asked the guy at the tire shop last weekend when I was putting my rims back on. I'm running 275/65/20 so about 2" taller than the spare.

He said make sure your rear drive wheels are the same and put the spare up on the front. As long as you don't engage 4wd it should be fine but the truck will likely pull to the side of the smaller tire. Wondering if anyone else has any other advice or real life experience with this

I am looking to duplicate your wheel set up but have a 2" drop in the front. How close is your setup to rubbing? Do you think 2 inches lower would create significant interference?

That might be tough with that setup. Look at the 285/45R22s. There about an inch shorter than mine and a little narrower.

Get them mounted today.

No rubbing that I've noticed so far. Full lock in reverse could pose an issue as its really close, so I might just go ahead and tie back the liners just in case. Really liking the look of it.

    • Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

    • Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
