Hello all. Looking for some opinions... I have all but pulled the trigger on this deal. I have the opportunity to pick up these Helo he868s with tires for $800. They are 22" and the tires are 305-40-22. Tires have about 70-80% life and the wheels are like new. My truck is sitting on a 2" front level and this rim/tire combo is almost the exact total size as my stock 18" setup (aprox 31" total). My question is, will these wheels look bad with my current level? I would prefer a 33" combo, but for the price and condition of the set, its hard to pass up, and it will be a long time before i can afford to purchase new, larger tires... so what do yall think? Should i go for it? Thanks!

I would have to see them on the truck first. Not really my style but then again its not my truck so if you like them then go for it.

 

Price is fair & would look better then the stockers [emoji106]

Well i pulled the trigger!

Looking fresh~

Thanks arkenzo! I wasnt so sure that i was liking them, as my first choice was factory 22"s, but those are 4xs the price, at least. Now that ive got em on, i really like em! Plus a bonus... the guy i bought them from works at my local dealer, so i got my tpms swapped out and tires remounted and rebalanced for $50! Basically i gave the guy $850, drove it into the service aisle, waited about an hr, then drove off set! Didnt even have to get my hands dirty!

wheels and tires are definitely an improvement and fill the wheel wells better - I think it was $ well spent

Thanks Bob! I was looking for some reassurance cause, again, these weren't my first choice... And dropping 850$ wasnt making the wife extatic. however, she said she likes black wheels, so it worked out! Plus im not in the doghouse lol. Win-win!post-148296-0-32273700-1445476109_thumb.jpg

      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 ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
