Looking to get my tire to b just about flush to the outside of my fender or maybe a 1/2" past. Im mounting 285/75/18's on my 2500, which offset will get me closest to what im looking for. Plus if your truck has 18x9's with the offsets im asking about post a pic looking down the side. Thanks all

20x9 +18 is perfect. Puts the tires just barely peeking out of the fender, bout that 1/2 inch you are looking for.

On my 2005 2500HD I ran 18x9 -12 with a 32.5" tire and it rubbed. I then bought 18x9 +18 and was able to run a 34" with no rub.

I have hostile Knuckles on mine 20x9 with 0 offset. Wrapped in 295 60r 20. They stick out about 3/4 of an inch or so.

I just purchased a set of anthem rims 18x9 with a zero offset and wrapping them in 285/75/18 toyo at 2 extreams. They are 35x11.6 inch tires and should fill the wheel well perfectly.

Zero offset definitely looks the best. It's good to know that we can push them out a little more than a +18 with no rub.

I did have just alittle rub but it was bc of the 35 inch tire. If u went with a 34 inch tire you should clear no problem.

Your truck looks awesome! That's a great tire size for these HD's (along with 295/70/18). Have you noticed much of a MPG hit? Also, what are your suspension mods again?

Thanks man! Your truck is the reason i went with this size lol. Wanted the height without so much of the width. My MPG went down about 1-1.5, nothing major. As far as the suspension I should have listened to you guys. I went with a kit that put 3 inchs in the front and 1 in the back. Looked awesome and rode really good. Once I got the new tires on it looked exactly the way I wanted, it was perfect but I noticed it was a rougher ride and it had a lot of bump steer. I couldn't take the bump steer issue and relized it was bc of bad geometry of the front end. In the end i ended up dropping the front end down to around 2 1/2 inchs, cleared everything up and drives decent again. Trimmed just a tiny bit of plastic but that was all.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
