The flares are only 1.25" flares like Spurshot. Tires are 1/2" thinner that spurshots, should look fine. Though i could go with 12" tires or so. The flares are there to complement wider tires for sure. But also give it a look with the G2 bumper.

I thought Spur was running 305s. His truck is sharp. If you go for a similar setup, your truck will look great, too.

He is running 305/60/18s but it comes out at 32.6x12x18

 

285/70/17 comes out at 33x11.5x17. We're talking roughly 1/2 an inch of width difference. His flares aren't over exaggerated like the full size fender flares either.

 

Imagine this but with a different rim, atm rhino glamis, 2" level, black g2 bumper, black rear bumper, iridium metallic smooth 1.25 fender flares. I think given the 12mm offset the 11.5 tire is going to stick out more than most think on stock fenders. Might have to get both bumpers color matched. Haven't decided yet.

 

I'm going for a G2 looking build but iridium metallic so to speak.

Just make sure you get what you want. If I had to do it over again, I would have gone with a -6 or -12 offset. Please ignore the dirty garage and poor pic quality.

Nope. It's the new G2 bumper from Southern Comfort Automotive. They are supposed to be going up for sale soon on the upgrades page of scaperformance.com

What exactly is SCAperformacnce. Just went and checked the website out. Do you just pay them to trick out your truck for you?

They purchase trucks from GM and then sell them to different dealers. Also you send them your truck to get one of their packages put on or you can order parts from them.

They do more than just GM trucks but the majority of what they do is GM.

I went with the skyjacker 2 1/2" kit, I'm -18 offset minor rubbing at a full lock. Trimming takes cares of most of the issue. Ill snag a few more pics when it lightens up! Glad this helped

I have been debating stepping up to 20's but I think I am going to stay with my 17s for now. Does anyone have input as to what tire size i should run? I have a 2.5 RC leveling kit. Thinking of going with 295/70/17 Trail Grapplers, Toyo MT, or Cooper ST MAXX.

 

Thanks for your help in advance

Between MT I would go with toyo or nitto.

 

For agressive hybrid I would go with toyo RT or mickey Thompson ATZ p3.

 

295/70/17 or 285/70/17 would also be my choice of tire size

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
