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

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

Thanks for this info. So, it looks like the Fuel Assault comes in a 20x9 with +1 offset if I'm reading it correctly. That's about as close to 0 as I see available in this wheel. Will this stick out a bit from the fenders? I'm hoping so because I'd like to fill the gap from the bushwackers a little bit.

 

Thanks

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

Thank you for this. I have 275/60/20 BFG KO2's going on this Thursday. I'm hoping they won't rub with the 2" level through the fox coilovers. The closest to 0 I could find in the Fuel Asault is +1. That's still a 20x9 so I'm pretty sure it won't rub. I'm just hoping it will stick out a bit further than the stock wheels because I want to fill the gap created by the bushwacker fender flares.

 

Thanks

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.

I have a 2.5" rc level kit and run 275/60/20 on my stock rims during winter and 275/65/20 on my fuel rims the rest of the year. The 275/65/20 def fill the wheel wells better and the height shouldn't be a problem with the 5100s. I went with 10 ply on my 275/65/20 and with the added weight barely notice a difference in gas mileage or ride. You don't have to go 10 ply either. I'd go with 275/65/20

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

The Toyo AT2's are great tires and are quieter than the ST Maxx. The ST Maxx made more noise but the tread and sidewalls are damn tough. I'd take the Coopers.

The wheels will stick out about an inch wider on each side so it will help a bit. My wheels are either +1 or 0 can't remember but pretty much the same, and I have KO2s as well. Tough to say if it will rub cause you have a slightly different setup than me. The rub isn't that bad though, I could probably trim the carpet a bit and it would go away I just haven't bothered.

You can kind of see in these pics they sit a little wider

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)

Check out the Nitto Exo grappler. I went with KO2s and shortly after I saw the exos installed on another truck and they looked really good, kind of wish I gave the exos a shot. They looked way better on a truck than the pics of them do online or in store.

Plus like you said not everyone else has them

How about a 20x9 wheel with a +18 offset and 295\55\20 tires? RC 2.5 level. Rubbing?

No rubbing, you can run +1 offset with that tire and 2.5 level with no rubbing. I ran that exact setup for a couple months.

2015 Silverado 1500. I know this has to be on here somewhere but can't find it. I'm running 305/55/20 now where as I had the stock 275/55/20. What is going to be my mph difference? I'm very new to the lifting and putting bigger tires on thing but I know enough that it can't be right. I'm sure it threw other stuff off also such as odometer and mpg, both if which I'm not as concerned about. With all that said, is there a way to have the system re calibrated and where is that type work normally done? Any experience with that? Cost?

Check out the Toyo R/T's too. They are super quite on the road and extremely effective offroad.

Anyone seen the new cooper STT pro? New cooper mud tire. 1db louder than some all terrains which means they're incredibly quiet. Looks like a KM2 design with some conservation in the center tread. Cheap too 233$ for 285/70/17 and 260$ for 295/70/17.

Damn. Those look good. Look really aggressive to me and hard to believe they are that quiet. But then again, I said the same thing about my tires. I'm interested in hearing some reviews on them

Posted (edited)

I've only read two reviews. But both were saying great things. One was a YouTube review comparing them to his pro comp mudders the other was just a plain Jane review but both were giving it high praises. Much like the Mickey Thompson mtz it was adequate in all the areas a usual mud tire is lacking but also quiet. They're also a bit heavier than some of the lighter mud tired but still nowhere as bad as nitto or toyo. 295/70/17 is 33.4x12.2x17 and 64lbs.

 

Here is another pic I took before I left the tire store.

    • 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.
