just had my new 275/65R20 Mastercraft tires mounted on my factory rims, they rub a little at full turn.  hopefully when I get the adjustable bilsteins put on, that will eliminate the rubbing

Looks great! Love the white letters. MasterCraft tires seem to be decent quality. ( Think it's a Cooper company) plus they have a nice square contact patch instead of bulging sidewalls and a narrow tread.

yes, they roll off the same line as the cooper discoverer tires as well as the Hercules brand tires...plus the mastercrafts were only $200 each compared to the coopers at $260-280.  I got the E load tires as I tow a 6500lb travel travel and these should eliminate some of the side to side flex.

Looks great! Did you have to trim your wheels studs with the 1.5" spacers?

No the wheels have cut outs on the back for the studs to go in.

Nice. I've had two sets of Stock 20's and 1 set of 18" that didn't have enough room in the pockets ( recessed areas in the wheel) to clear the studs. Go figure I found the ones that wouldn't work lol.

305/55/20 Toyo OC AT2s on stock 20s with 2in RC level. A little rubbing on the fender lining but I just got spacers so that should help!

I've got a 2017 Silverado 1500 Double Cab and i'm looking to put on Fuel D576 Assault Wheels, 20x10 with a -18 offset. The tires will be Toyo Open Country R/T (good blend between A/T and M/T) 35X12.50R20LT.

 

I'm wondering a few things here that i'm hoping you guys can help me out with.

 

  1. Am I shooting for tires too big? Should i go with the 33's instead?
  2. For the 35's, or 33's if im shooting too high, whats the ideal lift i should get?
  3. Once #1 and #2 are taken care of, what do i need to worry about? Will it rub anywhere? do i need a steering stabilizer? 

 

I'm sparkling brand new to wheels and tires so i know very little. I was originally going to get a $125 lift and level kit from MotoFab (3" front 2" back) but now i'm looking more towards the $1000 range.  

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Well bro if your dead set on 35's then you looking at nothing short of a 6 inch lift. If you decide on the 33's you'll rub with a -18 offset. Nothing a 2 1/2 lvl and some minor trimming wouldn't fix.

Thanks Frank!

 

I've been doing more research and it seems like a 6" lift might be more trouble than its worth, mostly because i have a boat i tow often every summer. I'm finding i'd need to do something with the gears and axles or something, thats all brand new territory for me.

 

I originally started down this road when i wanted to level the truck because it wasnt super expensive, but then i found a motofab 3" lift in the front with a 2" lift in the back for the same price as the level i was going to get, but found that was maxing out the upper control arms and started looking at a 3-4 inch lift, but found 6" lifts were a little more, but need steering stabilizers and leafs and all sorts of other stuff.

 

So now i'm thinking a 3-4 inch lift. Will i have the same issues with this as i would a 6" lift?

 

And back to wheels and tires, anyone using 20x9 or 20x10 Fuel Assaults on a 2017 Silverado 1500? Which one, which offset, and how far do they stick out passed the fender? Are spacers needed? Which tires are you running?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
