I really like the "NASCAR" look of the wheels.

 

JMO, but it would be really cool if you could retro fit a chrome vanity ring to give them the Squarebody Rally Wheel look.

 

See the source image

 

 

i really wanted to find the old 70s steel rims you can snap dog dish hubcaps to but noooo noone makes them. Need min diameter of 17" to clear the brake calipers. I eventually want to get BF KO2's on the rims i have.

*edit* - sorry, if there's a better thread for fitment questions, please let me know or an admin can move the post....

 

Hello all.

 

I currently have a 2015 Silverado with a 2" Level with stock 17" wheels and 275/70/17 tires.  Later in the summer I'm going to go with a 3" Front / 1" Rear level.

 

After that I plan on upgrading wheels and tires.  My first choice for wheels is the XD Hoss II (Gloss Black) 18", with either a 0mm or +18mm offset (part numbers XD82989068918 and XD82989068318).

 

From the research I've done a 285/65/18 (32.6") tire should fit OK.  Ideally, I'd like to fit a 285/70/18 (33.7").

 

Can anyone tell me from experience if the 285/70/18 will fit without any rubbing?  Would the 0 or +18 offset be better for clearance?  (I guess it's a matter of balancing UCA rub vs wheel well liner rub...?)

 

Thanks!

Leveling kit in the front, 17" Icon Rebound wheels zero offset in titanium wrapped in 285 75 r17 BFG Ko2 tires. Very minimal rub near full lock on fender liner.

Truck looks great. I currently have the RC leveling kit on my 2015 Silverado 2WD with 275/60R20 BFG KO2s. I want to go up to the 275/65. Do you have any rubbing with these tires? I'm just looking for a little extra height without having to go with a complete lift kit. Thanks!

Always wondered how white letters would look. 35x12.50r17s on 17x8.5 methods

Nice, now you have me thinking of turning my 35s around to match my white truck. :)

Just stock sizes but I like them. They are about 6lbs lighter than stock wheels though.

heres mine. 18 LT with GM's borla performance exhaust dual rear exit. then factory take offs painted white with the 1970's-80's centercaps bolted on. Used the factory lugs off my 18" factory wheels. Fit like a glove. Does have a 2" Zone front leveling kit. When i get a deal i want to put BF KO2's on it but i want to get the rims sandblasted and powder coated first. Gonna be expensive and nothing wrong with these tires right now so ill run em thru the winter.

A set of outline white letter tires would make those wheels pop hard.

‘17 Denali w/ 18” Method 314’s & 285/75R18 ridge grapplers. Tire calc says these are 34.8 but Nittos site says 35.08. This is w/ a 2.25 magneride level. Had some decent rub at full lock but trimming and zip ties cured that.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
