Ok so here is my question. I want to lift my Silverado, I'm thinking about going with a 3.5 lift. And I want to put 33s under it. My tires now are 265/65r18 and I was wondering on my rim what size should I go with for going to a 33 inch tire. like the width of the rim and the offset. I don't wanna have to cut or trim too much if any at all. And I don't want them sticking out past the wheel well too far. Any indo would be appreciated.

Welcome! There is a lot of discussion on this topic of lifts and leveling on this forum. You will also find some useful information on the tires and wheels section. I am curious why you have selected a 3.5" lift. I believe many have 33's with a smaller level kit and considerably larger wheels with a 4" lift. Reading about other members' experiences has saved me a lot of time and money!!

The reason I choose a 3.5 is because my cousin has a older Silverado with a 3.5 and I love how it sits. I had a f350 with an 8 inch lift. And I just don't want to go too high anymore. 3.5 is just perfect for me, not too high and not too low. I've just talked to different people and they all have said something different.

One thing to consider is that a 3.5" lift on an older truck will be a little different on a newer one.

Just stated facts. Maybe start a new thread titled: Wheel and Tire recommendations needed for 3.5" Lift

He was just stating facts. The title has a lot to do with if someone clicks on the thread or not. There is no need to attack him like that. We are all on the same team so let's all play nice

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
