Appreciate that BearClaw! It took me FORever to choose what I wanted, in fact at one point I almost went with the same OEM wheels you have lol because I love your set-up so much. BUT I also wanted something I hadn't seen before and this is where I ended up.

Well you ended up in a good spot, I definitely dig it!

Curious on what height level you have? I looked up that size tire and they say those are just shy of a 34 inch tire. Any rubbing? Where did you need to trim? Oh and even though you have only had those tires a little while what are your thoughts between those and the atp's?

Jeff, I have just the regular RC 2.5 level in the front with 1 inch rear blocks. I had to trim back about three inches of the wheel well liner in the front on both sides to keep the tires from grabbing them. As far as the tires they are super quite for the amount of tread they have! And the ride seems softer over the ATP's. They are a heavier tire so my mpgs did drop some. The ATP's were a 275/65 which is about the same height but I was still averaging 18-19 mpgs. Now I'm down to 16. Hopefully the summer grade fuel will be at the pumps soon and it should get better. Hope this helps. Overall I'm happy so far with them

Looks beautiful. Do you have any pics of the trimming you did? Tires look great. Oh and do you have any from pics looking down the side of the truck to see how far the tires stick out.

How many miles does your truck itself have on it? I have a 14 Silverado that just hit 48 and even though I know it's not a lot it still makes me cringe lol

I bought this truck new just over two years ago and have 49k miles total. I work a lot at 60 miles a day plus the gym I go to adds an extra 15 miles a day to my work milage. I finally broke down and bought a 2010 Honda Accord as a daily driver last month lol

I've been reading for days, I can't decide with a 20x9 or 20x10. Truck just has a 2" front level. Looking to have as much poke/wheel lip as possible without issues. 305/55 or 33x12.5 tire I'm guessing? Offset and wheel width has my me all screwed up, especially when it's thousands of dollars

x10 looks much better, and I'd say go 33 vs 305/55

That's what I'm leaning towards. 20x10 with a 33x12.5 tire. Offset is the main ordeal. It makes or breaks the setup in my opinion, and spacers aren't an option.

Seems like 20x9 with a 0 offset or +1 offset is the safe bet. If I went to a 20x10, what offset can be ran?

My opinion off experience. I have a 3" level on front, stock on back. 305/55 tires with rubbing before trim and rubbing at full lock reverse after trimming. On most tires 305/55 are 33.2 diameter. 33 are around 32.8. With a 2" level I would suggest 33's. In regards to offset it gets tricky. The more negative you go the more you will stick out past the fender and more likely to rub. I went with -20 offset on a 20x10 rim and couldn't be happier (you can see most recent pictures of mine on page 232). Rub is hardly noticeable now and well worth the look I got. Good luck on your decision.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
