I'm curious to see this. I've been contemplating trying 295/70r18 STT Pros when I put Kings on the front, but I think those are wider than the Trail Graps in the same size, albeit slightly shorter, so it would likely cause issues. Is yours purely a highway cruiser, or do you go off-road at all? I would think these might not rub with trimming, but might have some contact under a bit of articulation.

Trying to figure out my next setup but am a little confused with what offset to choose. I've got a 2015 Double Cab 4x4 and will be putting a 2" MotoFab level on it with Fuel Assault 18x9 wrapped in 275/75 Falken Wildpeak AT3W's. Should I go with a -12, +1 or +20? I would like the tires to come out to pretty near even with the Wheel wells. I'm thinking a +1 would be the right choice?

These are 285/65/18 on 18x9 +12 wheels with a 2" level. The front tires are about 1/4" past the top of the fenders. A +1 with 275s will stick out about 1/2-3/4".

Went simple for now:

 

Stock suspension, 275/60/20 BFG K02, GM black 5-spoke wheels.

Okay, then it if my math is somewhat correct a +20 offset should bring me about 1/4" of an inch inside the wheel well then with 275's. Would that require much trimming? I am trying to avoid doing any of that.

yea if the truck is going to be flexed quite i bit i can see them rubbing in some unique situations, although mine only rubbed ever so slightly that i just had to take away some of the plastic body cap. its fine for me because i dont go heavy four wheeling just enough to get my snowmobiles out into the woods or quads etc. Im lucky enough to have a company car for work so i view the truck as a toy

I'm guessing the edges of your tire rubbed, right? The extra 1/4" width of the STT Pros would make that worse, I think. I'm not doing any rock crawling, but my truck sees it fair share of higher speeds on crappy forest service roads.

275s on an 18" rim aren't going to rub anything on a stock or leveled truck all the way out to -6 offset (possibly as far as -12). My 275/65r18 Nitto G2 are 32x10 on stock +31 and have inches of clearance in all directions.

 

You are going from +31 to a +20 rim, that pushes the edge of your tire out from stock about .43". A little more if your new tire is wider than your stock tire. For example, if you are 9" wide tread stock, and you go to 10" wide tread, your new tire will stick out 1/2 of that distance or .5".

 

Add the rim offset (.43") to 1/2 of the new tire tread width (.5") and your new setup will stick out ~1" further than your stock setup.

you are right, might want to go with the next size down for that kind of use. although at 40 psi and my fox 2.0's the truck rode sweet over nastry frost heave ridden roads up in new hampshire even pulling a trailer

Looks great!

 

I think that's the first set of 20" Methods I've seen.

Yup, it is. I found 17's and 18's of these wheels on trucks, but no 20's.

What sucks is they used to make 20x10. Now they only do 20x9. I had 20x10 MR301's on my old truck.

Here is mine

 

2" RC Level

285/65r18 Trail Graps

Stock 18s

 

I plan on going to a 20X9 w/ a 295/55r20 here in the next few months. Have any of you successfully put on a 295/60r20 on 2" level w/ out trimming? I am looking at aroun +14 - + 18 offset wheels.

Hello,

 

New to the forum as I just signed up today but have been lurking since I got my truck in late 2015.

 

My wheel and tire set-up are as follows:

 

17x9 -12 offset Method Race The Standard in Matte Black

General Grabber X3 35x12.50R17 - Red Lettering

1 3/4" hub centric spacers are in installed on the rear axle

 

Truck is currently lifted 6.5", no rubbing

    • 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.     
    • Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
