So... the 305/55 would be wider of a tire (sticking out a bit more) compared to a 275/65 tire which would fill "up" the wheel well more. Is that correct?

Correct, but 305/55 is still a decently tall tire. A 275/65 kinda has the pizza cutter look, narrow and tall

Looking at going with terra grappler 305/60R18 with 18x9 fuels with either -12 or +1 offset. I have a 2" level, anyone running something similar? I'd rather -12 but concerned about rub.

You will likely rub on a -12 but probably could get away with the zip tie method. 285 65 18 on -12 fuels has minor rub full lock in reverse with a 2.5" level. -6 offset racelines cleared with same tire same level. tires are Toyo AT II .

I did all the common stuff, road force balance and even new wheels and tire but still never got it to go away. Even had a engineer look at it and tell me it was normal. I went to the dealer to trade it in on a 13 f150 but ended up getting another 14 but a Sierra this time. The Sierra is much better but at times a vibration for the first few miles but it always goes away, some days it's worse than others and some days it's like it's not even there. I would swear it's the tires from sitting but doesn't explain why some days are different than others and some days it's gone in a mile and some days it takes 4 miles. I could swear it's getting better with more miles on the truck and seems like I don't notice it more often than I do lately. Overall much, much better than the Silverado was.

I'm do for new tires before winter so I'm almost nervous about it because of how nice it rides now.

 

Funny looking back when I posted that, I was afraid I was going to get jump on for posting that thread being so new to the forum. I didn't think people would believe me! I still get updates emailed to me daily on that topic but I only read them from time to time, still seems like no fix for most.

Here's my new setup, moto metal 0970 +18 with my old 275/70r18 bfg ko2's

1BE25331-E5ED-42A8-B115-D8819061A442-149

I really wish they made these in a 0 offset, anyone have any info on some good spacers that may push these out to about what a 0 offset would be?

So I installed the RBP Glock wheels today, and I think I am in love! 20x10 (-12 Offset) with 305/55R/20 Toyo AT on a 2.5" RC level (stock rear blocks). I did rub on some plastic a bit but I trimmed it and now I only rub on the liner ever so slightly.

Before Level:

    • I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?
    • Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL
    • Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.
    • Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
