Here is the thread I created for comparing with option I wanted to go with: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/175024-3055520-or-2756020/

 

Here is the thread with pics of my truck: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/171035-rawyzfs-2015-silverado-z71-build/

 

My 275/60/20 do rub the liner in reverse at full lock, it's a tad annoying but not horrible. I am curious if 295/55/20 would rub. However, 295/55 doesn't have near the tire options that 275/60 does. With 1.5" spacers though, it puts me at 20x9 -12. I think with 275/60 and +0 or +6, I think it will work good without rubbing.

 

Thank you sir, greatly appreciate it! The spacers certainly help a lot - great looking truck! I had the same tires as you on my truck (and sle wheels) and now have 275-60-20 Toyo Open Countrys. They are a little skinny for my liking so I am going to get a new wheel and tire package and sell what I currently have.

 

The 2 wheels I am looking at only come in 0mm and +6mm offset. I am torn on which one to go with (6mm is barely any difference than 0, just trying to pick a style at this point) and then the big decision is tires.

 

295-55-20 Toyo Open County AT2 - 60lbs (10-ply)

305-55-20XL Nitto Terra Grappler G2 - 51lbs (4-ply)

 

Due to the low offset id like to get the 295's since they're narrower but 10lbs a corner and being 10ply vs 4ply has me steering towards the Nittos, I just don't want them to stick out too far past the fenders.

 

Ahh, decisions decisions!

If I could start over (and probably will once these tires die in 50K) I will go with 20x9 or 18x9 +0 and 33x12.5 tire.

Anyone out there running the XD Grenade or XD Brigade 20x10 -24 offset in black? Considering trading in my wheels for one of these.

Tire size is 285/65/18. Heres a side shot, I will take another tomorrow to show how far they stick out.

 

Those 285s look really nice but it looks like there is still plenty of room around them for the next size larger. Is there?

I got about 1/4"-1/2" clearance at full lock, but thats because of the wheel offset which is +1. Higher offset would give you more clearance. I wanted them to stick out abit and didnt want to trim, so that's why I went with that size.

By higher, do you mean you would have more clearance like with a stock rim (+35) or with negative offset like a -12.

 

Either way, please post some more pics from different angles (front, rear, quartering). Not many pics of trucks running 285s on 18.

The higher the number the more they will be in the wheel well, you cant go to high or the tire will rub the control arm. The lower the number the more it will be out of the wheel well. Depends on the look your goin for and tire size you want.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      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)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.
