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.

      Light Up the Trail From Above: 50" PRO for the Hummer EV

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone,   For anyone looking at roof-mounted lighting for the Hummer EV, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive 50" PRO Roof Light Bar for the 2022+ GMC Hummer EV.   The curved 50" bar sits close to the windshield rather than sticking way up above the roofline. The mounting position is designed to keep the setup relatively streamlined while minimizing wind noise and maintaining full use of the factory windshield wipers.   A few details:   50" curved PRO light bar Fits 2022–2026 GMC Hummer EV Spot + driving beam pattern TIR optics White main beam Amber DRL backglow Approximately 15,410 measured lumens through the lens Mounts to factory accessory locations No cutting or drilling required Wiring runs down the A-pillar toward the AUX connections Designed to minimize wind noise Lifetime warranty Off-road use only     The 50" is an interesting middle ground for anyone who wants the visibility and mounting position of a roof bar without stepping all the way up to the larger 60" setup. For the Hummer EV owners here, would you go with the 50" for the lower-profile look or step up to the full 60"?

      Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb".   ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!!

      I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.

      I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.   Hopefully these don't go 404 like the last post ... https://postimg.cc/gallery/MjhrmZS   Seems like that site went back to dial-up internet! Maybe they'll fix that some day ...
