Either will be perfectly fine. I'd go with +14, so they stick out a tad more.

Maybe not as bad as you think, if you haven't corrected your speedometer. 5% bigger tire so if you've went 100 miles according to your odometer, you've really went 105 miles.

 

Lets say on a 15 gallons of gas you went 300 miles (according to the odometer), the dashboard says 20mpg

 

But really, with the taller tires you went 315 miles, so you really got 21mpg

That makes total sense!!! Thanks for the post and the information. :loser:

Couldn't seem to locate this information: what is the offset/back spacing on a stock wheel for a 2015 Sierra 1500 all terrain with 20"? What offset/back spacing would I need on an aftermarket wheel to have it stick out a bit further? I'm specifically looking at Fuel Assaults.

 

Thanks

20x9 +27 is stock in most cases I believe.

 

Personally, I think 0 offset is just about perfect. But, everyone likes different looks.

Got em' mounted. Played it safe and went with 285/45R22's in the OE Bridgestone Dueler AT's. Wish they were a little wider but didn't want any rubbing.

That is one clean truck. Perfect

Uneven ground in the first picture, the front is NOT higher than the rear

So I have a 2014 Denali 4x4, I am going to change struts/shocks to Bilstein 5100's. I have decided on Dueler AT Revo 2's for rubber, my question is regarding the size, what are your opinions between 275/60R20 vs 275/65R20 with regards to fitment? Will the added weight of the 65's make much of a difference. Changing from GY LS2's 275/55 BTW, thanks in advance.

It seems everyone on this forum says they went with BFG KO2 but I want to look at other options in A 275/65r20. Anyone have any experience with any of the following?

 

Toyo Open Country AT2 ($1000)

Cooper Discover ST Maxx ($1150)

Cooper discover AT3 ($950)

BFG T/A KO2 ($1180)

I had Cooper ST Maxx's before my current Toyo's. I liked the ST Maxx's and would have gotten another set when I upgraded to 33's but couldn't turn down the open country's. The ST Maxx tread is great and looks great. They don't throw nearly as many rocks as an AT tire will. They look tough too.

Agreed 0 offset is perfect on a 9 inch wide rim with these trucks.

After running both would you still go back to ST Maxx or stick with the toyo?

I went with Fuel Beast 0 offset. Puts them out about an inch wider than stock. It does limit you to how wide of a tire you can go with though, unless you do more than a level only. I rub with 275/65/20s. Not horrible but it's still there, so if you want to go with a wider than stock tire keep that in mind

    • My house is set at 75. My car at 70. When I have guests the house is at 70. 
    • OK you say you could hang meat but what was the actual temp? One of the AC systems job is to remove humidity that we feel on our body your new system removed alot of humidity as that is were the water comes from on the ac coils and that made it feel colder. 80 degrees with high humidity will feel hot vs 80 degrees with low humidity will feel alot cooler.
    • I was using recirc/max air. Especially if it really hot i start out by lowering the front windows a little with regular ac the go to recirculation after a few and rolling windows up. And it does not have the newest refrigerant. It has per the info under the hood r134. Not the new r1234yf.  
    • tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?  
    • Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.
