Hey guys/gals..... not meaning to beat a dead horse here... but I can not find for the life of me anyone else running this combo... been all over the net and custom offsets...

 

I have an 06 Z71... and have put the newer GMC Sierra 20's on it. They currently have the 275/55R20 on them.. and looking to go up in size. I have a leveling kit that is going on soon... going to get it around 2 inches of lift I think. I can go up to the 285/55R20 no problem.... and is a great size.. but they are all LT tires.... which I really do not need... they are heavier, cost more ect ect. I have been looking at the Falken Wildpeaks.. have a ton of good reviews.

 

They have a 275/60R20... but its a 33" tire.. with stock offset wheel blah blah. I do not want rubbing ect..... and I do not want the stuffed look either. Any help here? I do not want to put a narrower tire on the wheel as well.... I think the 275 is a 11.1 section width....

 

Any input would be of help!! I see a ton of new gen trucks with 275/60... but its just not comparible to a GMT800 truck lol.

 

Thank you.

a 285,65,20 will fit perfectly with a 2in level. That's the size KO2's I put on all my lift jobs.

I have that setup, stock SLT 20s with 275/60/20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires, Billstein 5100 shocks with front at highest setting (almost 2 inches i believe). No rubbing before the lift or after.

285s might rub but it only rubs the inner liner, nothing damaging. You can always zip tie it back a bit. Mine rubbed few times but at full lock, such as getting out of the driveway fully turned.

 

Do it, you will like it. Truck looks better with 33" vs stock i think. Its a subtle difference.

Was that on a 03-07 truck or a newer 14+? Just curious! 

 

Thanks.

I have a 2015 and a 2004 silverado. Both with those size tires on them. Both with only 2in lifts. Both fit fine no rubbing unless I lock the wheel completely and then in reverse floor it. Then it rubs a half second because of the body torque.

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.

      I traced the atf cooling system in my 1500 and it comes out of the transmission, into the bar/plate liquid/liquid heat exchanger, as stated above.  Then it crosses over to the external thermostat/bypass and then  to the aux cooler in front of the main radiator.  Hence, on this routing, the PPE thermostat bypass eliminator is an $85 piece of bling that does nothing for reducing atf temps on this truck.  I think I'll temporarily clamp a needle nose vise grip on the coolant feed hose to the bar/plate cooler and see how much the atf temp drops.  With the use of ULV trans fluid, I'm not convinced running the trans cooler than OEM spec is going to be detrimental to the life of the transmission.    I found this interesting on the Dana/Long site stating that they make transmission cooling/heating bar plate heat exchangers.  I worked with Dana/Long on a few projects when I was at the gas powered fun factory. https://www.dana.co.jp/downloads/PTG/Long/Dana_TOC_SpecSht.pdf  Bar plate heat exchangers are just a stack of stamped parallel path fluid channels, assembled and vacuum furnace brazed to make the final assembly.  Want more cooling/heating, just stack more plates until you run out of package space.   Anyway, thanks for the info, much appreciated.

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.
