Here is my question I have a 2" leveling kit for my truck the kit says I can run up to a 275/70R17, that being said I was thinking of just going with a 275/75R17 or possible R18 if I get a good dealer of some nice aftermarket rims for the truck. If you go to the 275/75 should I expect to rub or should I just go with the 275/70 instead?

 

Thanks

I have a 2" bottom strut spacer with 295/70/17 with very minimal rubbing at full lock, I think you will be fine with 275/75/17

 

EDIT: Just realized you have a 2012, mines a 2018 and I believe they have more room in the wheel wells, so not sure if this would work for your application

I'm assuming it would be but figured I would ask anyways as I really don't want to buy a set of tires and have them no fit properly.

Try going to discount tire. That's where I got mine done, and they said if they didn't fit after a little trimming they would swap them out free of charge and refund the difference for the smaller price tag on the smaller tires

I'm in Canada and I don't have one near me, I wish we did that would be great. But I'm thinking since the very bottom half of my lower valance is no longer on the truck I don't think I would even need to trim really.

 

Thanks

I ran 33/12.50r20 +20 mm offset with the 2.25 level no rub

 

Now I have a 2” 33/12.50r17 +0 offset no rub

 

Where in Canada are you?

 

There’s great tire places in Toronto that don’t over charge.

Not bad I tried to order from Rez boys but they never called me back.

 

I often use Toronto tires they don’t ever charge me tax.

I got general grabbers red lettering came down to them and the amp terrain masters (knock off Toyo open country)

I find with rez boys you have to just go and see them in person. once I get the leveling kti installed i'm looking at a set of BFG KM2s.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
