Hello,

I recently just bought fuel lethals 20x12 -44 offset with 35x12.5x20 Atturo trail blades and a 7-9" Mcgaughy lift. The lift is back ordered and I am hoping to install it the 18th. I will definitely let you know what cutting/trimming is necessary and whether it is trimming the fenders or metal. I thought my 20x12's looked big in person but I can't imagine 22x14's. I can't wait to see what you decide.

Back to the point of the thread I didn't mean to hijack it, but I would not recommend doing a lift smaller than 6".

Same goes for the extreme lft guys - you may spend the dough on a full suspension lift and tires, and it may look the part, but w/ 3.42 gears and 355 or even 420 HP, super heavy tires, you're really not any better offroading than a stock truck other than ground clearance, in terms of power to the ground you're heavier and down on torque and gears, what's the point?

 

Gearing is obviously important but the larger tires and travel of a good lift will make a massive difference offroad even if the truck is a bit underpowered.

 

I am going to get regared but I can tell you with the new tranny and a good tune my truck on 35" mudders is just as powerful as it was stock.

Won't the sides of the truck get destroyed with rock chips with the tires and wheels sticking out 6 or more inches? When I see trucks set up like this I always think show truck.

If you are setting the lift at 9" you won't need to trim anything with that set up, I have the same lift and I am currently running 20x10 -24's with 35x12.50 mudders. I will be going to RS2's that are 20x12 -44 also with 37x13.50's. Even with 37's you only need to trim a bit in the front.

 

You will be golden if you set it at 9" with no trimming at all.

Awesome input from everyone so far! I'm glad I ended up posting here before I made a firm decision, so the wide wheels route is totally scrapped for now. I don't mind the street truck look with 24s and low pro tires, I had a similar set up on my cadillac but like it was mentioned before the ride does suffer. Maybe a happy medium would be 22s with decent sized rubber. 20s are a little small for my taste.

 

22 inch wheels with a level and AT/MT tires...thoughts? I know, I know I've been all over the place since this thread first started but I'd be stupid not to take advantage of all the knowledge on these boards while brainstorming ideas hahaha

 

 

dylbeau1500 I'm looking forward to seeing how your set up turns out

You could do 22' and 33'. Would looks pretty good IMO. But keep in mind your most likely still gonna be rubbing pretty bad with a 10 wide rim.. As I said before I have a leveled 2500 on 33's with a 10 wide and I'm rubbing pretty good

Here's a pic of 20 inch rims with 33 inch toyo MT's just so you can get an idea! I toyed with the idea of 22's and 33's and sometimes I wish I did it but it definatley is a lot of rim and little sidewall.

I'm a big fan of the Rockstar II wheels as well. This is the look I'd be leaning towards with those

I hope the picture worked but I was in the same boat as you but spent the money haha. I bought 24s and loved the way it looked but hated the way it rode. Since I live in San Francisco I couldn't lift the truck like I wanted (small parking garages) so I went with a 2 inch level and 22s with 33s. I am really happy with the way it turned out.

That looks perfect! How wide are your 22s? What tire size are you running? Wheels offset?

Thank you! The tires are 33x12.5x22 I think. I want to say the offset is -12? I honestly never really looked into that LOL I just wanted it leveled with 22s and 33s. I do wish the tires stuck out a little more then they do though

Hello I’m new at this truck stuff but I’m wondering if 22x12 on 25 will rub on a 4 inch lift on a 2017 Chevy 

Tire size? Wheel offset?
Difficult to answer without that information.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
