Mickey Thompson Deegan 38s. 37x12.50R17 with DICK CEPEK Gun Metal 7s74903c6eb51a5b7960ca9e8bbb1edbaf.jpg

 

You might have me sold on those wheels, i've been thinking and thinking and thinking on getting my wheels powder coated gunmetal grey or anthracite but for a little more i could pick up new wheels. Which would give me the offset i need to clear a 12" thick tire. Not only could i pick up new wheels i can switch to 17s for cheaper tires/more rubber like i want. Thankyou man i'm definitely getting a set of those. Truck looks phenomenal.

 

What offset did you go with?

They are 17x9 with 0 offset. They only sell two 17s in 6x5.5. One being what I got and the other is 17x8.5 offset 25.

I see do you have any pics showing the offset and how far the tires are sticking out? Was hoping to pick up the +19mm offset like the fuel mavericks but wasn't looking at the lug patterns. 25mm should give me a little more room to clear a 295/70/17 but i would settle just as well with 285/70/17.

Yes, you can update the computer settings to account for different size tires and thus a different count of rotations per mile. .....

 

The local dealer to me it would be a bout $50 to $60 for the shop time to have them re-program my truck for a different tire size and any dealer would be far less likely to squawk about the warranty because it was just tire size and a dealer did the work.....

 

That being said, my '03 had 4.10 gearing and going with a 285/75R16 actually yielded better mileage than the stock 265/75R16 because my motor was at a lower RPM for the same speed and therefor using less fuel per mile.

 

That's a great idea. Thanks for the heads-up. And that's a good point, Hozer. The bigger tires although heavier, they will lower the effective differential ratio, thus the engine RPM at freeway speeds would be lower. :) thanks!

I have to agree with you, I love these wheels! I think they are going to stay for awhile...

 

I almost forgot, in between the Chrome Ultras and these I had a set of 20x9 0 offset Novakanes with 305/50/20 Terras, but that combo just wasn't wide/aggressive enough for me

Is your truck 2wd? 3" level? How's the clearance up front

Yes and yes, truck is leveled and looks badass. Tires rubbed a little so I had to trim a little on the back. Edited by NitroDatsik

Thanks. I'm just debating 305/50 or 305/55/20 next. I think I'll rub too much with 55s.

I would do something like 285 or 295-55 and get some - offset. Mine rubbed mostly because they are so wide. I think if I would of gotten thinner tires I wouldn't rubbed. It was less then a fingers with that rubbed on mine at full lock.

They are a very decent tire. I honestly think duratracs are better in the snow/packed snow/ice but these are not too shabby in those conditions either. They lack lateral grip and could use a few more sipes. Dirt/ rock roads are no prob at 50-60mph.

They are heavy pigs though as all of Toyos. 72ish lbs each and rolling resistance sucks. My mpg went from 16-17 to 13-14.

I'm gonna rock these these the summer and will have duratracs before next winter.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
