Post your 2014+ wheel/tire set-up

Nolasaintz · March 23, 2015

Can't measure them now, I'll be working out of state for another month(truck stays home). I do know that these tires brought the truck up alittle over an inch compared to the stock 275/55. They do look more narrow than most 34x11 because of the tread design. The sidewall kinda tapers in towards the center tread. They don't rub at all, forward or reverse which is nice.

Here's a different angle

It's not mine, I wouldn't mind if it were.

Wheels are method mesh matte black. Looks to be leveled with 35 trail graps.

Pretty sure thats a 2wd with a knuckle lift. It's more than a level.

What's a knuckle lift? Does look more than leveled looking at the room in the wheel well.

A knuckle or spindle lift is just a new knuckle that keeps the tie rod and ball joint angles in correct geometry but drops the hub. It only works on 2wd trucks because there is no axle to cause issue.

Edit: The reason I say its a knuckle lift is because I remember looking for the source of that picture because I loved the stance of that truck. And I'm 99% sure that is the info I found.

There are plenty of spindle lift for 4wds? BDS, Zone, etc

Those are lift kits that come with spindles to correct geometry. I wouldn't call that a spindle lift. But tomayto, tomahto, you know? Who cares.

This is what I'm referring to, for example.

Anyone have some pics of a truck running RC 2.5 leveled on Toyo Open Country MT or Cooper Discoverer STT on

285/65/17 or

285/65/18 or

Very close to that size, any opinions y'all have let me know, thanks in advance!!

Considered a bracket lift for 4wd because it has drop brackets to correct the cv angles.

What level/lift are you running and any rub or trimming needed? Love this setup.

Stock wheels for now. Toyo AT II. 265/65/R18

Thanks Adam, I am running a 6" BDS kit with coilovers. I had to do a decent amount of trimming because of the -24 offset and the 13.5" wide tire. But now that it's all setup it was well worth it.

Question for those of you who are like me and still hesitant to tune your truck...

I'm getting my wheels and tires tomorrow and was thinking about the computer programming for the stock wheels and tires being different than what will be on it.

What parameters can the dealer change?

I'll be like most everyone else 20x9 with a 33x12.5. I know it won't change the speedometer much more than any other vehicle I have put larger wheels and tires on but was just curious how to keep it close without a tune and changing everything from that point.

I know I have read something about being able to change for the different wheel packages but don't remember where that was.

I don't think the dealer can change the tire size at all. Also I believe that i remember reading that it didn't matter whether your truck came with 18" rims or 22s, the overall tire size was the same so GM programs that into the computers and not the dealers. A custom tune would certainly be able to fix the tire size though which will also fix speedometer, odometer, and DIC's MPG.
