i have a cobalt blue sierra...looking to get 17inch fuels on a 2 inch level with 1.5 BL... wasnt sure how lifted trucks with 17s would look though. planning to run 285 or 295s as well.

I'll snap a few more tomorrow.

 

I actually prefer the look of the smaller wheel, as long as it's something with some substance to it. These, Raceline monsters, Walker Evans legends etc. not a lot of little spokes. That's probably from my off-roading background too. No offense to anyone on here with them, but just about every truck in my area has 20" Fuel Mavericks or something very similar and I wanted the complete opposite.

I'm sure this has been asked already. But what exactly is the offset? I've heard +-12, 18, +-24. Not sure what all that means. I have a stock 2014 Silverado Crew Cab. I want to get BF Goodrich KO2 and KMC Monster wheels put on. I'm contemplating getting a leveling kit or lift. And do I really need one..? Also, I looked at Tire Rack and it says the offset of the wheels I want is 18mm, is that just typical or do I have to add something when I put them on my truck. A lot of questions but feedback is much appreciated. By the way, GO STEELERS!

Go to custom wheel offsets and look at all the different trucks that are posted on there to see which offset you like the best. Just depends on if you want a stock look, flush with the fenders, or more of the wheel/tire outside of the fender. My 20x9 +18 KMC XD wheel site just outside of the fender with a 33x12" tire and looks perfect to me

It's the measurement from the center of the rim to mounting face. 0 offset means where the wheel mounts to the truck is dead center. negative measurements mean the wheel mounting face is moved by that distance towards the truck making the wheel and tire stick out, the opposite for positive offset. the number is the measurement in millimeters. stock wheels have a + 27 or about 1". so a plus 18 would make the wheel stick out about 9 mm or 3/8" more than the factory.

Your stock rims will have something stamped on the back of them like this. These are my stock 2014 GMC Z71 rims:

18x8.5Jx24

18 = rim diameter

8.5 = rim width

24 = offset

 

If you get +18 rims, your rim edge will protrude outward from your hub about .25 of an inch....or basically no difference from stock. You can get away with 0 offset (rim sticking out about 1" from stock) if you keep your tires to 295 or smaller and install a level.

 

To answer your direct question, you can install the +18 rims you want with any tire 285 or smaller without a level. 295 will most likely need a level. 305 will most likely rub somewhere and is the probably too large for anything other than a street queen unless you go to a true 4" or + suspension lift.

I've got 275s on stock +24. +15 is going to push your rim out about 3/8" from stock. I don't think you will see any noticeable difference in looks or trash kicking up on the side of your truck with that little of offset. 275s look a bit larger than stock, but no difference with speedo or power loss.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By KARNUT · Posted

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Z45 · Posted

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.
