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.

    • Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift.

After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.
    • Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated. 
    • We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person. 
    • We had a pretty big cars and coffee in Indy this past weekend.  Pretty much anything and everything was there.  
    • Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
