So far so good, only a bit of rubbing at full lock in reverse !

Those are the rims I was looking at but was afraid they would stick out past my fenders with the -6 offset. How far do your tires stick out? I was going to go with a 285/70/17 tire do you think they would stick out compared to your tires? thanks

Can anyone tell me what offset I would need for my 14 Silverado to keep my wheels and 275/70/17 tires under the truck without flares? I was looking at 17x9 Pro comp metal mulisha 38 wheels with Mastercraft courser mtx tires but the wheels only come with a -6 offset I am afraid they will stick out past fenders. I don't want to buy fender flares. I also have a 2.5 rough country leveling kit on my truck. thanks for the help.

Sorry I meant 285/70/17 tires.

So does anyone know what other sizes Toyo will be releasing for the RTs? I saw Josh's post where his 33x12.5x20s didn't rub at all which i'm excited about because that's what i had kind of planned to get. Though they're a big tire. If they would release 275x55x20 i'd likely go with those.

No idea on what sizes. I read in an article when the R/Ts were unveiled that they would have more sizes early 2015. But no word on when or what sizes. I emailed Toyo about a month ago, maybe 2, and asked if they had plans to make the R/T in sizes such as a 295/60/20 and they had an automated reponse of "Thank you for your tire size suggestions/request. We plan to offer more sizes in early 2015. Thanks for your interest in Toyo Tires!"

I took a straight edge on the front of the tyres and measured the distance to the fender ... It's about 3 cm. The front face of the rims look like they are pretty level with the fender but the tyres bulge which is what is sticking out. I think the 285/70 17 would do the same. Just not as much.

 

I love the look and the wheels are awesome, just what I wanted but I live in a very dry climate so I don't have any muck thrown up the side of the truck.

Bah, i wish they would unveil what sizes they're going to release. I mean 33x12.5x20LT is perfectly fine to me, it's what i intended to get. Though they might be a touch wide i'm pretty sure i'd be astounded with them. But if i can go 275/55/20 for cheaper which comes to 31.9" diameter and 10.5 width that'd be what i'd go. I'm equally curious as to how a 33x12.5x20 would affect my fuel economy, toyos are already heavy anyway.

Thanks for your response and pics. From the pics it doesnt look like the actual tread bars stick out past you fenders. In PA we cant have the tread bars out past the fenders, the sidewall doesnt matter. Your truck looks awesome, mine is brownstone and I want the same look as yours.

I was wondering if anyone else has ran 295/70R18 with the rough country 2.5" lift? I looked through the leveling forum with minor luck. I plan to use the stock 18" rims and dont want to have any rub. Thanks in advance.

Mounted!

18-inch Method Mesh wheels, 275/70/18 BFG All Terrain tires, and a 2.5-inch RC level (front only). Zero rubbing, zero road noise, nice traction on and off road, and no wobbly street feel. Very happy with the setup so far.

 

Do you have any more pictures that you can post. That set up is sweet.

Got the new setup on...

 

3.5" "Level/Lift" + 1.5" Body Lift

22x10 ET -24 Moto Metal MO964

5/16" Wheel Spacers All Around

33x12.50R22 Toyo M/Ts

No Rubbing / No Trimming

 

Haven't decided what I want to do with the center cap yet. The stock caps look terrible and they look nicer without a bulky cap so I may try to fix up some type of push through...

I'm curious about this as well. A 295/70R18 is over 34" tall and almost 12" wide, so i have a feeling they will rub some. Especially if you have your front valance on and mud flaps like my truck. I was thinking this size when i level my truck, but may get 17" wheels and 295/70R17's. This would be close to a 33.5", which i think would fit very easily. Wheel of

Dude that's sick. Did you have the rims painted? Also what are the exact spec's on the wheels?

Thanks RickRod! The wheels were powder coated matte bronze prior to installation. The wheels are 18x9 Method Mesh with -12mm offsets. I bought them from Tire Rack.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
