275/60-20 BFG KO2's on the stock wheels on my 2015 Sierra, no leveling kit.

 

How are you liking those tires? They look great

I've got a 2015 Chevy 1500 crew cab ltz 5.3l I just got a couple months ago. Looking at installing the RC 2.5" level then for rubber putting on 295/55r20 either nitto trail grapps or terra grapps. Wheels are going to be fuel maverick 20x9. Still haven't decided if I want +20 or +1 offset..anybody know how far the +1 offset would stick out? I have mud guards on front and back I just don't want to chip paint.

I have 275 tires with +18mm offset and weathertech mudgaurds, the bubble of the sidewall is out past the mudguards, but the actual tread is barely inside. With the +20mm offset and 295 tires you would be 8mm further out than me. With the +1 offset you would be 27mm further out than me. If you are worried about paint chips, I would go with the +20

Thanks a bunch! I kind of figured I would end up getting +20 offset but wanted to see if someone had any input.

Wow, your truck is gorgeous... would you mind posting what you used for this wheel tire setup (size, backspace, etc.)? Also your drop info too. Thanks!

i'll have to get back to you on the backspacing. as for the rest of the info, it's a 4/7 mcgaughys drop with 1" adjustable shackles to give me a 4/8

the front wheels are Intro Wheels 818s 22x8.5 with 265/40/22 Nitto NT420s tires (30.4" tall)

the rear wheels are Intro Wheels 818s 22x10.5 with 305/40/22 Nitto NT420s tires (31.6" tall)

 

since the rear tires are a little over 1" bigger than the fronts, the 1" drop evened out the wheel well gap better and brought the rake down.

 

For the wheels, i went with polished hoops and the centers are brushed with a clear powder coating.

I have +1s and like the way the truck sits. Puts the wheels out approx 1" wider on each side. I have 275/65/20s with a 2.5" rc kit and I rub a bit, so if you went with 295/55/20 you would rub bad and would be better off going with a +20 setup

To anyone who has fuel rims, did they come with 4 black and 4 green rings? If so, what are they for?

I was wondering the same thing when I got my wheels. So I contacted the place i got the from and they said they are hub rings. But since our trucks are lug centric we dont need them.

    • Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.
    • The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts. 
    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
