Guy/Gals..  I've searched already.  Just looking for confirmation and not condemnation.

Just bought a 2016 2wd extended cab with 16k miles.  Beautiful truck...with zero lift or level.  For right now I need to fill up the wheel wheels just a little better than the stock wheel/tire combo.   I want to go with a 20" wheel and a larger tire.  From what I've read, the 275x60R20 might fill the hole and not rub...but at what wheel offset?

I'm trying to move up to a 9" wide wheel from a stock 17x7.5.  Maintaining the 31 offset of the OEM wheel puts the extra 1.5 inches on the brake side.  It would seem (although I'm a newbie) that I'd be better served dropping to a +18 or +12 offset to better "balance" the width and avoid rubbing inside or outside. 

Anybody with experience or knowledge...give me your 2 cents.  It might save me a few hundred bucks...

I did the +18 20x9 and they still rubbed, I’m very happy now with my 20x9 +1 offset zero rubbing

Where are you guys rubbing at, mud flap? And how bad?

Does anyone else have problem with only rubbing one side?

I see. Good thing I went with -12 instead of +18. But yeah I rub on the passenger side only. When in reverse. I have like 1/8” on the driver side. I wonder if that’s normal....

Everyone’s Suspension moves one side during backing up. Recommend strapping back liner or I’ve heard heat gun will do it too

      Radio Update

      By Byrds8 · Posted

      Mine worked fine until I got an update also. After that sometimes it would not connect and Id have to turn CarPlay off and then back on for it to try to connect again. I think I have had two additional updates since this started and it has gotten better but still not perfect.

      Cab retaining water, common problem areas?

      By nitrozamboni · Posted

      It’s probably water in the doors. Mine had tape over the drain holes! Poked them open and that took care of it. Now I’m waiting for the rust to come through!🤬

      2021 suburban RST - acting up/lights flickering

      By 520Zilla · Posted

      Hi all,   I just bought a 2021 suburban RST with 88,000 miles on it and everything has been good but I’ve been noticing within the last month or so that there are small electrical things going on and I know what the AGM batteries and all the electric electrical in these big trucks you need to have a constant flow with good voltage   That being said, I bought a new battery thinking that that might have something to do with it but today I went to get in and start it and it said no key found when I had the key right in my pocket   It also proceeded to flash the lights inside and outside for over 30 minutes as I went to disconnect the battery as soon as I touch the negative terminal, I heard the relay reset and everything come back up. I got in the truck and started it no problem.   Anyone else have this happen to them? I’m starting to think it’s the KARR system that the dealer installed short circuit stuff.

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.
