Those look great. I have those same rims and I will be getting the duratracs. Does anybody know why some people's trucks rub using this size and some don't? I'd rather not spend the money and time install a level yet if I can get away with leaving it stock and not rubbing with those tires. They don't rub at full lock or anything?

Here are some more pics of mine at full lock. They do not come anywhere close to the front sway bar or any other suspension parts or frame (first 2 pics). And at the back rear side of the tire they do come close to the carpet wheel well liner but does not ever rub (3rd pic). I can slide my fingers between the gap. On the front side of the wheel well there is even more room (4th pic). I see no signs of rubbing or scuffs anywhere and with the closet spots just being the wheel well carpet material I dont see any big risk. And I've had these on for almost 37k miles.

 

I had this exact same tire on my 2005 Silverado and it did rub slightly on the suspension at full lock but not on my 2014.

Tires are a major expense and you are wise to do research. I posted a similar thread in the tires and wheels section of this forum a few months ago and happily settled on 265/70r 17. I found that w

Thank you! That really helps. Makes me feel a little bit better about making the purchase. It definitely looks alot better without those little 255's.

****update****

 

I went to get my LT285/70R17 duratracs put on today. And they rub the rear wheel well ALOT. Luckily I had them only mount one to check. So now I'm back to my 255's all around unfortunately.

 

Looks like I'll have to raise the front 2 inches before I can get them mounted.

That is surprising. I just looked online amd my Toyo's are 11.5" wide and 32.8" tall and the Goodyear's are 11.5" wide and 33" tall.

Mine is a 14 extended cab, z71. What is your 15?

Finally leveled the front and got the tires on.

 

Didn't get the blocks on the back yet as my floor jack broke doing the front.

 

Alignment seemed good after the level but I got it done anyway as they suggest and now it pulls to the right.

 

So now I'm sitting back at the shop again hoping they can get it straightened out.

 

I think it looks alot better though.

 

Too bad I can't seem to figure out how to upload pictures. It says error file too big.

And I've seen many stock height trucks put 275/60 20's (33" tall) on with no rubbing issues.

Well they got it fixed today at no charge. Turns out the first guy that did my alignment didn't have the steering wheel straight lol.

 

And really? Hmm I didn't think the rear would mess with the alignment at all. I guess I'll find out lol.

 

I got 285/70r17 duratracs. Stock they rubbed the wheel well enough I had them take it back off. Good thing it was only a test fit.

 

But now they look great and no rubbing at all!

 

Now my truck looks like it should and I'm happy lol.

Any pics of this and what wheels? Exactly what I was looking to do.

 

And OP - I think you might have a slight bit of rubbing due to that width of tire. 285+ normally has some trimming.

My LT285/70R17's (17x9 0-offset 5" backspace wheels) never rubbed until I put a set of Weathertech no-drill mudflaps. Now I rub in reverse at full-lock.

I guess each truck is just a little different.

 

It was worth all the work. It's not too tall, just gives it a bit more aggressive stance.

 

Could someone tell me how to post pictures on here?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.

      T3's and Ibuprofen. I do have a cryotherapy unit (ice machine) and a lift chair that will allow me to raise my legs above my heart.  There are topicals that I can use once the wound is fully healed.
