That has to have a leveling kit. They don't come level from gm. Looks good. Sorry thought u said didn't have leveling kit. Wrong person. Truck looks good

I got tired on the truck spinning at every red light in the rain and getting stuck on flat grass in a 4x4 on the stock Goodyears. I am noow running 275/70r18 BFG KO's. I do not have a front level (my truck sits dead level stock anyway) and I have tried to make the tires rub at full lock by backing over speed bumps and even onto curbs and it will not rub. The truck looks 100% better to me than with the stock strret treads.

Gm trucks don't come stock level. If it's level it has leveling kit

looks good antoine08. what's the noise level on those trail blades?

 

if you roll down your windows and turn your radio down then u can hear it not to loud but noticeable. but if your windows or up or your listening to the radio i won't bother you at all i love them. i expected them to be louder so i am really happy

Went with the +12 worx beast and Nitto trail grappler 275/70R18. Rough country 2.5in front and 2in rear. Wheel cut all the way I barely rub the mudflap. I think if I didn't have mudflaps it wouldn't touch.

It seems like Trail Grapplers are the biggest looking (or truest) tire in 275/70r18. If I were to go with the exact same tires on a 18x9 +18 offset with a 2" level, think I'd rub? How about 18x9 with -12 offset?

 

Thanks for any help.

With the 18mm offset, you should be fine. But the -12mm is likely going to rub. I have a 2" level and I'm running 275/70/18's on stock 24mm offset rims…

Thanks for reply. Those Duratracs look good. I may consider those.

 

Another question guys. I'd appreciate any input. There's a guy on GMFS running 295/70r17 on a 2014 with a 2" level but he didn't state whether he had any rubbing issues. If I were to run a 295/70r17 tire on a 17x8.5, 0mm wheel, does anyone know if I'd have rubbing issues?

 

I believe those wheels would stick out just about 1" more than my stock 18x8.5 z71 wheels with +24mm offset (or am I wrong?).

Just got my wheel package put on and want some opinions. I think it turned out awesome, just wondering if I should just leave it leveled or go with a 1.5 body lift on top of this. Wheels are Raceline Rampage 20 inch at a 0 offset and stick out just a hair and I got the new Toyo Open Country RT tires 33x12.5x20, tire is awesome. Very quiet and has a very aggressive look to it without going to a MT. Does not rub at all, still room to play, I did have to take my splash guards off as they would rub on those at full lock in reverse, but just slightly. Very happy with the final product. These new Toyo tires I strongly recommend. Just waiting on my tinted tail lights and 3rd brake light now. Opinions please.

Looks great as she sits! And really like those tires. I'm looking to get some of those myself but in a 35x12.5x20

    • have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.
    • Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...
    • That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
    • Engine Wear and ISO 4406   1.) Cold Starts. 2.) High Particle Count. 3.) Low operating temperature viscosity and high low temperature cranking viscosity. 4.) Depleted AW, Friction and Acid packages.  5.) High engine load.    https://me.caltexlubricants.com/en_me/home/learning/from-chevron/heavy-duty-diesel-vehicles-and-equipment/The-Importance-of-Clean-Engine-Oil-and-Its-Impact-on-Equipment-and-Business-Performance.html   High particle counts have five sources. 1.) They are manufactured within the engine. Both wear debris and amalgamation of degradation products and combustion driven soot (worse in GDI). 2.) They are ingested via intake air. Ever hear the best oil filter is a good air filter? 3.) They are entrained in the fuel. 4.) This one is insidious. They are introduced in 'fresh oil'. 5.) They are introduced during the oil change.   ISO 4406 is the test that measures and quantifies the combine effects of all of the above particle related issues. You can mitigate your way into multiples of engine life by being attentive to them all.    https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/is-new-oil-clean   (from the link above)    [Quote] What Is the Recommended ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code for New Oil?   A good upper limit for new oil cleanliness is 16/14/11 (ISO 4406). Typical new oil usually has ISO codes of 19/17/15 or worse, which is far too dirty for sensitive components. This can be a major cause of degradation and premature failure.
