I have a 15 2500hd lt. Stock now but just found a great deal on some 35/12.5/20. I plan on cranking the keys 2"-2.5" for fitment. Ill exten shocks, drop diff, etc as time goes on. Ill be buying wheels to match these tires. I like the look of wider offset but will that help or hurt the fitment in the wheel well? Anybody have a good offset? Not trying to go crazy just want to go out to a +12 or 0 offset if it makes sense with a 20x9 or 10.

I don't know what width wheels my buddy has but he lifted his HD 6" and put 20" fuel wheels with zero offset.

 

his 35x12.5 rub ever so slightly at full lock on the front bumper because he went 0 offset.  This is on flat pavement.  I can only imagine it would be worse if he was actually flexing the suspension. 

 

you should be ok if you keep a positive offset like +18 or +20 but there are a lot of variables to consider.

 

since I use my truck primarily off pavement, when the time comes for new tires I'm going to level the front a bit, and stick 34"x11.5" on my stock 17"s with +44 offset.

I also want to add that there is a mod where people throw a few washers in between their front bumper and frame to pull it out an extra .5" or so.  I recommended he do this but don't think he cares enough.

I have 285/55/20's with 20x9 +1 offset Fuel wheels on my truck.  Truck is completely stock.  The tires clear but barely..I would go with +12 to +18 wheels if he is going with the larger tire size.

Here's mine 35x12.50 Nitto Trail Grappler with 8 turns on torsion bars and shock extenders. Rubbed a little on frame and sway bar full lock but made steering stop shims on spindles to keep that from happening.

      Gas Prices

      There's a reason, many reasons, actually, some of us won't live in the Midwest. The higher price of fuel out here on the West Coast is absolutely worth it. And I did live in the Midwest once. No thanks!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      The GM oil life monitor 'should' be able to account for these conditions in determining the OCI.   My driving habits and environment allow the oil life monitor to trend to the maximum end of it's programming, I think most are programmed to max out at 7500 miles.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By actively-shopping · Posted

      We've been fans of the 40-20-40 front seat in the lower trims; specifically the leather option on the "3-across" version of the  40-20-40. I hope this can still be ordered in the "Silverado" or RST trim packages.  AND .... if dual exhausts are a part of the Custom trim,  does that mean a V8 package is available on Customs ?  Has the RST trim been discontinued ?  When ordering a V8 on one of these lower trims .... must it be the 5.7 ?  Or, on 4WD units can the 6.6 be ordered ?

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Atlas · Posted

      I like it.   In a world of vehicle front ends that look like they've had a little too much nipping and tucking, I appreciate that GM went with a bold and professional look for the new Silverado and kept the aggression understated. The new 1500 looks a little more like the current 2500.   The interior looks well done as usual, although I'm not a fan of billboard screens on the dash. At least recess the gauge cluster screen. I see passenger screens as "keeping up with the Joneses'" in automotive interiors of late, which is fine. I don't think they belong in most pickups, but choice is good. Maybe some day I'll appreciate having one. Probably not, but, maybe.   Yet another steering wheel and airbag design. I wonder what it costs to have so many different models of airbags and buttons and steering wheel frames. IMO, pick a good one and stick with it. The new one is very...luxurious...looking. Again, not bad, but also not what I'd expect in a pickup.   GM has left us awaiting engine choice announcements and official details.     What will I be ordering on day one?   Nothing. I like my 2025 and it would be silly to get rid of it just to have a 2027.

      I'm also waiting to see if they confirm Apple CarPlay, because I'm not interested in subscription fees just to use the hardware I already purchased.    In closeups it looks like it gets the Colorado/Canyon center screen based headlight controls which I despise. They also appear to lose all the hard switches for functions like seat heating and cooling, parking sensors, lane control, traction control, etc. which means they're all screen/menu based, so verdict is out on how well those will work with gloves or wet/dirty hands.  Admittedly they don't show the left knee area of the dash, but I don't see hard switches for locker control on the ZR2, and the "mode" switch appears to eliminate the rotary dial with a quick way to access tow/haul.  My 2021 has had multiple screen failures and at times the screen just locks up, goes black, or reboots while driving even after replacement, so loosing the ability to access many of these functions, especially lighting control would be pretty frustrating.   There aren't enough photos or detailed trim details other than one mention of "available microfiber trim" to confirm, but the use of microfiber on the seats and or center console is a deal killer for me.  Just because you drive a ZR2 or High Country, doesn't mean you don't work out of it, and that material is difficult at best to keep clean and looking decent.   Lexus and several other brands are using it on seats, dash, and door panels now, I assume as a cost and weight saving measure,  and it looks horrible 1-2 years into ownership.  I see what appears to be piano black on the doors and center console in some photos, which also has no place in ANY vehicle in my opinion because it mars and scratches too easily, especially for a truck.  Will be interesting to see what GMC comes out with when the Sierra is released as far as materials go.
