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

    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
