I hate to make this post because I'm sure it's been made before but I really don't want to read through the last 74 pages haha....I'm about to buy some XD Series Crank 20x9 chrome wheels and was just wondering where you guys think is the cheapest place to buy them is. Going to be getting new tires as well so didn't know if a certain place was better than the next on a package deal. Any advice would be appreciated.

Heres a couple that come to mind. Custom offsets, mrwheeldeal, rimzone, extreme customs. Get a quote from each one and go from there

Looking for pics with BFG Rugged Terrain 275/60/20 if anyone has those. Curious if the sidewalls have enough "look" in this size. Thanks

Guy at work has them on his dodge. I think they look pretty weak IMO

The BFG AT KO2 looks way tougher.

 

Have you considered 275/65's? That's what I would do if I were going to do it all over instead of 275/60

I agree that the KO2's look way better, but wow are they heavy compared to stock (or most anything else!). Called around intending to buy Duratracs in 275/60/20 but they're out of stock. I see the 65 profile is popular but I'm trying to not get too carried away with height, rotating weight, or overly stiff sidewalls; An RC2.5 and 33's is still a combo I can pick up customers in & for sure won't have any rub issues. I'm after the MT look but don't go off road at all (just out back to grab a trailer now & then). The Rugged's might make the most sense for me, but certainly aren't the toughest looking.

I like the way the rims made the truck look so I copied the same set up but mines a Silverado so it's not identical. Glad with the results.

Less you need the running boards i'd remove them personally, they're probably cutting your ground clearance nearly in half. I also think it looks better but it's all just personal opinion.

If you get down and look under the truck the frame actually hangs just as low as the side steps and the skid plate for the transmission actually hangs lower. At least with mine (deezee nxt). I also used a tape measure to make sure my eyes weren't lying. So ground clearance really isn't affected that much. But yes, I do agree they are an eyesore but I use mine and I don't want to tear up my seats without them.

You can always get the amp ones though for providing the same function that's a good bit of money.

 

I'm thinking about 16" wheels instead of 17". Does anyone have any pictures of there truck with 16s? Largely due to the fact I can get 305/70/16 deegan 38s at 234$ a tire

16's won't clear the brakes.

 

Oh well 17s it is then lol

What size 18" KO2s? Looks like there is plenty of room in that fender for a larger tire.

    • 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.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
