You'll have a slight rub in reverse at full lock... Nothing to worry about.

I have the Readylift 2.25" with Method NV 17x8.5 0 offset and 285/70/17 Duratracs. Only a very very slight graze of the felt wheel liner in reverse at full lock. With 2.5" you will be fine.

285/70R17 is a common (nearly) 33" tire for 17" wheels. A 285/75R17 is an uncommon size. Hence he's asking what the overall diameter is in inches. Are you sure you haven't mistakened a 285/70r17 with a 285/75r17?

Exactly what I was asking.

Oh gotcha! No I have not mistaken the 285/70r17 for 285/75r17. The OD IS 33.8 on the 285/75r17, so about an extra inch.

 

I think you're going to need a bit more than then 2.5" level to run 33.8 (~34") tire. I could be wrong though.

The very first picture posted on this thread is the silver Silverado. He's running 285/75r17. We will find out next Tuesday if it works or doesn't work. I'm ordering the rims and tires today.

Cool, good luck.

 

What rims and offset and width, that will play into it as well.

 

That first pic looks a little nose high, is the rear on stock blocks or raised too? Might just be the angle.

I'm going to be running 2.5 level with 285/75r17 toyo at2 or cooper at3 (I want the toyo but the coopers are cheaper and way abkut 10 pounds less per tires) with fuel boost 17x9 4.75 back spacing with 0 offset

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
