Wheel & Tire Upgrade

new2chevy · June 2, 2018

Good morning everyone. I recently joined here as I purchased my 2015 Silverado. Been over a week and loving it. Of course there's a long list of mods I need done to make it my own. Living in snow country, my vehicles have a winter and summer sets of tires. While I like the stock wheels she came with, I love the Denali style wheel and how it makes these trucks look.

I was looking for OEM's on line and then came across a company who offers replicas, some with slight "twists" to the OEM look. I fell in love with these in a 20" size:

I thought the hint of black on the inserts would compliment the white and black elements of my truck. DTD had a holiday sale going this week and I grabbed a set of Kumho Ecsta STX in 275/55/20

I'm hoping this combo works out great. I'm going to keep the stock Goodyear's for a winter other two before they wear down too much and then get a nice deep tread tire that should last me for a good long time.

Also found the leveling kit from Ready Lift on Amazon for around $162.00. Got it in two days, free shipping, and will plan on installing this week. Thought that was a good deal based in some quick searching. Pic of it in stock form. Updated pics in a few days!

ItWell, dropped wheels and tires to my shop and couldn't wait until 4:30 to head over there, pick them up, and get them home to pop em on. About 3:15 he texts me to tell me 2 of the 4 are bent. UNBELIEVABLE. Actually, that's how my luck goes so I guess I'm not surprised. By the time I got there turns out only one was really bad but the 4th was definitely no good. Took three home mounted and decided to check fitment just to be sure. Here's how they look.

So based on a conversation my mechanic had with the rep I dealt with, it doesn't sound like this will be resolved without aggravation. Went from an awesome day to crap.

It happens. Happened to me with a rim delivery from Year one. It was packed just like yours no box inside of a box as other have done with no issues. Then UPS throws and drops them. I did replicas this year also but called them and asked if they had the Michelins I wanted. They did, we worked out and tire mounted package as I knew it would protect the rim when shipped.

Good luck gettting it resolved

Snagged a Ready Lift leveling kit off Amazon for $162.00. Installed the passenger side tonight. Will do the driver tomorrow. I'll post pics when done.
