Please read post 21 of this thread. click on the results to see others data. once you buy your tires go back and fill out your info in the "form" for the next guy.

 

Anyone else reading this who has aftermarket setup, please do the same and pass it on to prevent these questions in the future.

Should be able to fit 44x15.50r15.5, might need to trim the valence a little bit tho.

You are right, it has been asked, but most all these trucks have some sort of lift, I'm asking about with no lift stock bone. What is the biggest tire/rim combination you could possibility have?

ok, sorry, if you read post 17 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/196044-what-is-the-biggestwidest-tire-without-lift-on-16-1500-z71/?p=1917736

you would see a longer list with many trucks without any lift.

What size rim? If 18's, you are safe with 275/65/18. If you move up to 285/65/18 you will need to do some zip tying. So my advice is don't go above 32x11x18. If you have a bigger diameter wheel, then compensate as needed. If you have different offsets, then compensate.

 

Tons of sites out there, including this forum, that have information on this. I know it it easier just to post up a new question, but I know this discussion was just asked within the last month so you shouldn't have to dig much to find the most recent one.

I want to go to 20 on stock everything and want to know how big of times without rubbing or trimming.

Then I would either go 265/60/20 (32.5*10.4*20) or 275/55/20 (31.9*10.8*20). Both of those should be good as 275/65/18 is 32.1*10.8*18.

 

Use this website for conversions..... https://tiresize.com/converter/

 

****EDIT: Don't take my word for it as I do not own 20's. I am certain on the 275/65/18 though.

with a level and norcal mod/fender liner zip ties a 33x12.5r20 will fit with as much as a -24 offset. It rubs the control arm on a stock wheel though. it would be perfect with a 0 offset or slightly negative offset wheel

275/60R20 or 33" & it'll rub the fenderwell liners in reverse (& probably in D) @ full lock....in fact my truck gained just over 2" in the front after installing bilstein 5100's @ max setting & my 275/60R20's still rub a tiny bit in reverse @ full lock - but just a tad & seems like more so on uneven pavement & I don't really care b/c it's just rubber against felt.

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
