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?
