Where is the best place to buy wheels and or a wheel/tire combo on the net? I used to shop and piece my kit together but dont have the patience this go round. Im looking for a 20x10 with 33s.

 

Also what is the exact specs of our trucks i.e. hub bore, lug pattern? I know the stock wheels are +27 what offset would i need to run to avoid rubbing with a 2.25 level and 33x12.5 ? Truck is a 17 with a 2.25 level on 285 65 r18 ko2s and no rub.

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?

it will most likely be -19 / -25

I just installed my wheels and tires tonight and have a little info for you Criscone. I have a 2" level up front and went with 20x10 -24 on 305/50r20. I had to take off the little black plastic piece on the corner of the cab and trim it. Also had to take a hammer to the sheet metal behind it a little bit. Now I can go full lock with no rub. If you go 305/55 on a 20x10, whether it be -12,-19,-24 you are going to probably have a good bit of metal and plastic trimming. I will try to get some pics up tomorrow or the next day.

Finally did it and couldn't wait so here's some dirty truck pictures. I'll clean her up this weekend and post some good ones.

 

Method NV 17" 0 offset with 295/70/17 Toyo R/T

King 3.0 front, 2.5 rear, both with compression adjusters

Mazzulla upper control arms

SDHQ skid plate with tow hook cutouts

It's everything it's supposed to be and more. Couldn't be happier. Ride is fantastic. Also sits dead level within 1/4" all around and no rubbing, no trimming.

I had to trim the black plastic piece at the bottom of the wheel well on the cab and hammer back some of the metal. Now there is no rub at full lock, even in reverse. If you didn't know about it, you wouldn't be able to tell I had to trim it.

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 kept my old beater car to use as a daily driver. They were only going to give me 1k for the trade in. Glad I kept it. I drive it Monday through Friday. My truck is 3 years old and I finally hit 20k on it.

That looks great! Like a Z71 oughta look coming out of the factory. I'll bet those Kings are sweet. Have you run them off road yet?

 

I'm holding back for 6112/5160 combo. Thinking about the NV standards (17") with a 33-34" tire.

Thanks! I have not, just back and forth to work since installing and taking to the shop to verify my alignment. Have a couple finishing touches to get done over the weekend. They ride amazing though! A nice firm controlled ride that soaks up big bumps, driveway lips, and speed bumps like they are nothing. No more float and bounce like stock. I could literally drive over my driveway lip at 30mph with an open cup in the cup holder and not spill a thing. Crazy.

That SDHQ skid plate looks great. I really want one but I would still need to mount my front license plate to it and I'm not sure if it would look good like that.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
