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!

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!

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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
