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.

Nice thanks for that info i appreciate it

What offset? Any sway bar or control arm rub?

 

Edit: just saw they were sierra reps so +27, but do they rub? Lets see some more shots and if you could take pics of sway bar and control arm, are they flush with fender?

Here's some more pics. It will rub the back inside corner of the felt wheel well liners at full lock right or left. It's close to the sway bar but doesn't rub it at all. They are about flush with the fender wells. I forgot to add that this is with a 2 1/4" Pro comp leveling kit.post-54656-147837967665_thumb.jpgpost-54656-147837968637_thumb.jpgpost-54656-147837969379_thumb.jpgpost-54656-147837969925_thumb.jpgpost-54656-147837971428_thumb.jpg

I'm getting those same wheels but in all black and 295/55r20. Any rubbing on control arms or sway bar? Also looks great!

Thanks. I have a slight amount of rub on the sway bar at full lock in reverse. I zip tied the fender liner back prior to install.

Those wheels look BA. One of my favorites for sure!

Thank you

just a level?

 

Yes, just a level

Thats awesome! More pics!

My full size spare with Cooper STT Pro, white letters out.

 

Let me know thoughts on the white letters out, I like it. As soon as I have some extra funds, I plan to put Cooper STT Pros all around.

Personally, when the look is aggressive enough (which those def are) I love the look of RWL.

 

I vote yes!

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
