oem 22s on 285/55

[Cali315]

Well I thought I would post an update.. 

 

I decided going with a 2.5” level in the front.. and ended up getting a sweet deal on new wheels and rubber that I couldn’t turn down.. 

 

heres a pic of her now! Very excited and turned out better than I expected!! It’s squatting a bit in the rear with the oem wheels in the back lol once they were out it was back level lol

Alright guys looking for a little help. I picked up a set of the stock LTZ 22's this weekend and have read though this entire post to see if my current set up will accommodate the 22's with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 Tires in 285/55R22. Current set up is 2016 Silverado 1500 LT CC Standard Bed and I have the RC 2" level. Seems that everyone that is running that size of tire is running the 2.5" kit. I am sure I will have rubbing of the liner and what sounds like possibly rubbing of the factory mud guard. Is there anything else and or am I going to need to increase my level/lift to the 2.5"?

Hey Whaley,

 

i honestly think you'll  be okay.. the G2's arent a super luggy tire (correct me if im wrong).. i currently have the 2.5" level, 20x10-24 with 33x12.5's.. they are the comforser MT's so they are quite luggy and i only rub a small bit of plastic (inner cab corner) in reverse.. 

 

seeing as how the 285/55R22 equals about a 34x11.2 I really think you'll  be okay.. the stock tires that came on my stock 22's were 285/45R22, you're really only going up in height and staying the stock width!

Sure, let me know what else you'd like to know. I'm running the uniball kit with the heavy duty ball joints

 

I'm running a Terra Grappler G2 in a 285/55/22, which measures out to 34.4", only .2" smaller than a true 35". It's roughly .5" thinner. I chose to run a 1" spacer and I am really happy with the look. You will read people go back and forth with their opinion of/on spacers. I did my research and I am happy with my decision. I may at some point get wheels but I wanted to keep the OEM look, just a little more aggressive.

 

My Denali is a 2017 1500, crew cab, short bed,

4WD.

 

I'm running the factory 22" that comes with the Denali ultimate package.

 

I have a 1-1.5" section of my fender liner where I rub on the driver side when I turn left in reverse. I haven't trimmed anything else or removed the lower bumper valance.

 

 

I was really surprised when the other member was running this tire on a level kit. That's a massive tire on just a level. It has to rub ..The kit I have is designed for 33s, and it seems like it barely fits the tires I run... I had a 2.5 level before this and there's no way they would have fit.

 

I'd highly recommend the Fabtech kit. It integrated nicely with Magnaride and I truly think the majority of the additional roughness is from the 10ply tires. I'd say it rides like a 2500 HD.

 

Hope this helps!

Your truck is awesome!

 

I just had the 4” Fabtech installed on my Sierra Denali yesterday.  I am running 285/55r22 Terra’s on stock oem 22s with a 1.25” spacer.   I have rubbing inside the fender well closest to the cab.  

 

I was told by the shop that the wheel spacers were not needed for clearance so I’m going to have one removed to see if that alleviates the rubbing issue.  

 

Did you do any trimming or alterations to the back of the fender well?

I have a 2018 Silverado 6.2 with the max tow package. I have a 1.5 inch level front block set up. I actually like the 1.5 as it seems the trucks with the max towing package the suspension is a little different, I'm only sitting about 3/4 of an inch lower in the front now . My question is , I want to put on 285/55/22 and I'm wondering if I'll have to much rubbing. I do know from past experiences that the stamped steel upper control arm does not have as much clearance vs the aluminum control arm. I previously has 275/60/20 Cooper discover HT plus tires on my factory 20 inch wheel. They did rub slightly at full lock. However even though the Cooper tiers were still a 275 they were considerably wider than factory, the tred was over an inch wider and the sidewall to sidewall was almost 2 inchs wider.  I was curious at to how wide the 285/55/22 would be. I'm sure it's going to depend on what tire brand I choose. I need to start looking at what's out there for choices in that size or possibly a 285/50/22.

Got my 285/55/22 ridge grapplers bolted on the stock GM rally 22” wheels.   Truck has 2.5/1 Rough Country level.   I get a very minor rub in reverse at full lock.   Could not be happier.   They are very quiet!   This thread was very helpful in making my decision.  Thanks!

1st post ever here.  I bought a 2018 slt crew over the summer. So far I installed a Dinali grill, leveled it with 2” rough country kit, and installed replica GM 22” wheels with 285/55/22 terra grapplers.  Rubs only in reverse at full lock. Very slight and I think it’s on the inside rear of wheel well. There’s a little room to tie that back or maybe hit it with heat gun.  Not much room for it to go because there’s metal behind it pretty close.  

 

Anyway. I’m so happy with how it looks. I used my diablewsport to calibrate the speedo. It was 4mph slow.  Now it reads 2mph fast which I sort of like

Difference between stock grill and Denali

Does anyone know how to re learn the TPMS?  I bought new AC Delco sensors but I’ve read you need a tool for trucks after 2010/11. Was hoping I could use the Diablosport Intune but I didn’t see it in any of the menus

I bought one of these to relearn mine after the dealer forgot to when tires got rotated. Works like a charm on my 15 Silverado.

Thanks for the reply... on your advice I ordered a similar tool....I know it’s only a few bucks but it  just chaps my hind parts that I have to buy a tool for this.  On my other gm vehicles over the years it was easy to do without any tool.

 

Also got an early Christmas present.  upon removing the cheesy plastic skid plate I discover that I have a nice sized oil leak.   Not just seepage... it’s actual drops on the plate and you can see them on the steering as well. This is a 2018 truck with 3100 miles on it.  I realize all I need to do is go to the dealer and tell them to make it go away but it’s annoying lol

Finally broke down and did it. OEM 22s and 35/12.50r22 trail grapplers under a 3in level

When you say OEM 22s, is this GM 22" wheels, or the brand "OEM" replica wheels? 

[Dkn1997]

True OEM would be GM made wheels with GM part numbers on them.  In most cases wheels that came off a GM vehicle or “take offs”.  Replicas are copies of the GM wheels.  They look the same and have the same dimensions.  The replicas I used look to be of good quality and they say they meet DOT specs for safety.   As for the actual quality, I can’t say.

What tire pressure are you guys running on 285/55R22 while not loaded?
