Any rubbing?

 

It rubs a tiny bit at full lock if the ground is not flat and a tiny bit during very hard cornering when the body rolls.

I'll check it in a few weeks and do some trimming if needed.

Truck looks great, really dig those wheels!!

 

Thanx, they suit a lowered truck, lifted or level, maybe not so much.

Hey guys quick question I'm getting ready to put some 20x8.5's with 305/55/20's on my 2015 Silverado 1500 with the RC 2.5" leveling kit. I know it won't rub if I mount them like that but if I add 1.25" spacers will it rub? Any input appreciated!!

That will depend on your offset and back spacing but I have 20x10 -19 with the same tire size and I rubbed at full lock until I did a bit of trimming. Hope that helps.

I have read every page on this thread and teh level thread looking for wheels. Looking for something that looks good with a 16 crew cab. Deep ocean blue metallic. I like the fuel maverick and throttle but not sure on how thy would look with the blue. Will be a 20" wheel. Any ideas on what looks good with that color? Thanks

IMO for color Gun Metal looks amazing on the blue. As for design, that all depends whether you like a "busier" style or a simple one.

I have 305/55/20 now on 20x9 0 offset and had to trim. Rub is worse on driver side vs passenger for some reason.

I could be wrong but 305/55 might not fit on a 8.5" rim.

It does fit them, and it doesn't seem to rub as it is but I'm waiting on my lug nuts to get here so i can try them on. I got them at a great price so i didn't argue the width of them too much, but i wanted to try spacers for a little while

Haven't seen many in gun metal. As for tires I had the Terra grappler on my 14. They weren't very good in the snow and mud. I would like to get a taller tire that doesn't stick out. Still learning this offset and tire size. Any recommendations on size. Will be a 2.5 RC level kit.

Siguy,

Few questions. What kit did u do? I have a 3 inch level from motofab on stock 18 inch rims and tires. How is the feel in power loss going from a 31 inch tire to a 34? Do you mind measuring the height from the ground to the fender. Curious on the total height. Also what spacers did you use and where those factory rims factory black or plastidipped? Thanks

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
