The link just takes me to tirerack's home page, rather than a specific wheel, so I'm not sure which wheels you're referring to. Also, we need a little more information to help you. What kind of truck are they going on? Year, make, model? Any suspension mods? Tire size?

Not sure why it didn't work. They are the HE835. Right now I have nothing done to my truck but will eventually level it and go with the biggest tires I can without rubbing. They will be going on a 2014 double cab 4x4.

Gotcha. Well the 20x9 and the 18x9 both have a 5.67" backspacing and +18mm offset, so you'll be just fine there. They'll probably be just barely tucked in the fenders still. I've got 18x9, +18mm offset rims on my truck, and they sit just about flush with the fenders. I think the fenders on the new body style trucks are a bit wider, because the new factory rims have a slightly less positive offset then the previous generation. Those wheels with a 2"-2.5" level and some 33's will look really good. And, if they're not hub centric, they should include centering rings that go between the hub and the rim to make it so. I had to use those on my last truck, and they worked just fine.

Ok. Thanks for the help. The ones I am looking at are used for about 400 miles. They are 17x9. What's a decent price to pay?

Ok, well if they're the 17's, then they're only a 17x8, with a 4.53" backspace and 0 offset. That's going to push them farther outside just a bit, and may limit you a little on tire sizes. Are they the chrome ones, or the black/machined ones?

They are the black machined ones. What would be a size tire I could put on those without rubbing?

If they're in really good shape (which they should be with only around 400 miles on them), then I'd say somewhere around $400 would be a good price, including lug nuts and center caps. You should be able to run a 285/70/17 with a leveling kit on those rims, without any problems at all. A 295/70/17 might even fit.

That offset is the issue. It pushes the wheel out 1". You can just subtract 2" in tire section width from the max width that would fit with the 5.5 to 5.7 backspace. So my take is a 33x10.50 will be about the limit without rubbing at full lock.

This is why I want to stay with an OEM wheel. Thanks guys, I'll just wait for a good deal on some stock wheels!

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
