Life is full of regrets.. Buying bfgs isn't one of them!

 

Will they, along with the tires, fit on a stock 1500 with no lift?

 

Also, for all interested, here are the actual links:

Yea depending on the size tire you put on the rims but the rims will be fine!

I guess I was under the impression they were a GM product and not a replica. I know they are essentially the GMC wheel in black so maybe he swapped the center cap's?

How are the KO2's doing for you guys on hwy rainstorms? IE- Hydroplaning concerns.

Mine seem to be doing great in rain no hydroplaning from any of my experience! I love these tires!

They aren't to heavy?

I notice a slight difference in weight but nothing drastic to me.. Everyone is gonna have their own opinion and I respect that but to me I don't mind the extra weight and regret anything

He may very well have the gmc oem ones I was just showing you there are replicas out there for cheaper.. The gloss black was 186 a wheel and matte black 160.. You can always get Chevy bowtie vinyl stickers to put on the center cap

I have a question about tires. I was trying to look back through the posts, but there are so many, ha. I just decided to ask:

 

I have a '14 CrewCab LT. I want to put new 20" wheels but not sure which tires to go with. The 275/55R20 is pretty much stock but I was told to go with 285/55R20, but would require me to put the front lift level kit. Then I saw the 275/65R20. Those would also require the front lift, correct?

 

I'm just not sure which route to go. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..!

If you run a 275/65/20 you will need to level the front for sure. I've only seen that size on trucks with the Rough country 2.5" Level

You can run 275/60/20, which isn't quite as tall, but it should fit without a level with maybe just a little rubbing on the felt fender liner, which isn't a big deal. You can trim that.

I am running 275/70/18 tires which are essentially the exact same size just for 18" wheels rather than 20s and they didn't rub without a level. I leveled it anyways though because it looks better.

Yeah, the difference in total cost with the level kit between the 275 and 285 is only $800, but still. Just seeing what I could get away with if I didn't do the level lift. I do agree though, it would probably look best to just do it.

Any difference in fuel economy?

 

I really didn't have the SRA on there long enough to tell, to be honest. The SRA's had about 280 highway miles on them is all. So I couldn't give you a definitive answer. My guess is the SRAs did a little better. However when I drove the same highway mileage last weekend to get my Fold-A-Cover installed I got much better mileage with KO2's and a F-A-C on it then my original take delivery miles on the same stretch of road.

I lost at least 1 mpg compared to the identically sized Continentals. If it weren't for that, I'd have them on year round and not just over the winter.

Here is the front and rear tires, sorry if they are at a crappy angle.

 

Forgot to mention, these are on the stock 20x9 all terrain wheels that come on the SLT Plus package or whatever.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
