Here's my before and after set-up

Factory 7 spoke 22" on Bridgestone Dueler A/T

Reproduction 9 split-spoke with chrome inserts escalade platinum on Michelin Premier LTX

Not sure if I like the new look or not. Sometimes they appeal to me other times they don't.

Depend if you like a fluffy looking tire or a larger looking wheel.

 

I like more tire.

Well I'm probably gonna have to go with 275/60/20. Fuel doesn't make the gloss black coupler in 18x9! Makes no sense. They have them in 17,19,20,22

I wanna apologize in advance for this...lol. I hate being the guy that asks questions that have probably been beaten to death, but here goes.....

 

I have a 2014 Silverado with a RC 2.5 lift, currently have 305/55 R20 Terra Grapplers on stock rims for now, and I do have slight rubbing on swaybars and back of wheel wells. I am wanting to get aftermarket rims and can get a good deal on some rims with +10 offset locally, does anyone have experience with this offset such as rubbing, etc? Any help is appreciated...let the bashing begin :help:

 

 

If this is posted in wrong area...sorry

What do you guys think, cool or sucks?

I vote for the original 7 spokes

Thanks for your opinions guys. It looks like its a unanimous vote for the factory 22". I guess I will sell the escalade wheels and tires. A dumb decision I guess getting these wheels but I just didn't know what they looked like on the truck until I bought them. Costly mistake lol I will say that the Michelin Premier LTX are awesome tires. Very smooth ride and quiet.

I have a friend with a 2.5 front/rear level running 305/50r20s on +1 Methods and he rubs a little in reverse left lock. He thinks it's liner and not swaybar. No guarantees, but +10 should help a lot with your size tire but most likely will still rub a little at full lock.

Looks good. I've got a set of chrome Dub Skillz off my 2016 Tahoe just sitting in the garage. I wondered how the Skillz would look on a truck. I like it. I almost mounted mine on some beefy tires but went another direction. Still tempting though. Nice truck!

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
