I have a 2014 Silverado LTZ Z71 with 20 inch wheels I leveled it with the rancho complete strut assembly. I just purchased new tires 305/55-20. Will these rub with the stock chrome wheels or should I just go ahead and get new rims. I am looking at the Fuel Hostage but not sure if I get them if I should get the 9 or 10 inch or the -12 or -24mm off set. Any opinions on these wheels?

I'm on a 285/70/17. I ran stock 17s with no issue. Now running Method Wheels with same size tires, and a 2" level. No issues.

I got the 2.25" Readylift level with upper control arms installed. I also used the 2" Rough Country magneride relocation bracket. Truck rides good, maybe just a tad stiffer than stock. I am going to have the dealer do a "trim height relearn" on the magneride just for good measure.

 

I have the stock 22s with 285/45 tires. I have no rubbing. The tires are very close (1/8") from rubbing the control arms at full lock. I had already remolded the fender liner on the passenger side with a heat gun; tire was rubbing at stock height. 

 

Now I need wheels and tires. I want a 20" wheel. the styles I am looking at only come in 20x9 0 offset. RL says to use a +12 offset with their control arms. The stock wheels are 22x9 +24 offset. They don't rub. Many wheels come in a +18 or +20 offset, by deduction, they should clear since the +24s do. But, I don't want to be so close, hence the reason for the 0 offset.  I am looking at running a 275/60-20 tire. Will that size tire clear with the 0 offset? If not, I may have to go back down to a 285/55.

thanks

Do you have any rubbing? I have a 2.25" readylift spacer kit i got from a friend i just need to buy there UCA's. I plan to run the stock wheels and tires for a while since they are new. Is anyone having rubbing issues with the readylift uca and stock wheels?

Yes, had it trimmed

Trimmed as in wheel well trimming. Not rubbing on the uca?

The stock wheels rubbed on the Readylift UCA’s, the Hostiles do not. The back of the front wheel well was trimmed both plastic and minor metal.

Did the wheel itself rub or the tire? What size tire were you running on the stock wheel?

2017 Sierra 1500 with a 2.5" Motofab upper mount spacer and Readylift tubular UCA running 20x10 -19 Hostile Sprockets and 33x12.5r20 Toyo RT. Minor rubbing on the back of the fender reversing full lock. First picture is the front end height comparison between my 17 and my buddies stock 18.

I have 35" tires and they don't rub.   285/65r20 BFG ATs.  They measure to be exactly 34.5"x11.5" on stock wheels.

 

All I had to do was pull back the fenders, and they don't rub.   Your desired size of 33x11.5 will fit no problem with stock wheels.

Off topic a little, & that stance looks great....but how bad is the MPG/acceleration/braking hit w/ that setup? I had 275/60R20 BFG's & ended up swapping for Nitto Terra Grapplers in same size but P rated - like 15 lbs less per corner compared to the BFG KO2's, I think the BFG's are def the better tire but the slower pickup off the line & never going into 4 cyl mode made me think twice. I think if I got it tuned w/ a CAI that may help offset.

 

For the OP - I have Bilstein 5100's all 4 corners, fronts @ max height (by measurements was exactly 2" - Bilstein claims 1.87" FWIW maybe it settles a little I dunno) & both the 33" BFG KO2's & Nitto Terra Grappler G2's fit fine, they "rub" very slightly @ full lock on certain angles mainly backing up & it's only rubbing the felt fender liner hence the quotes, AT tire rubber > plastic/felt fender well lines 100 times outta 100

Hate to resurrect an old thread, but it caught my eye. I have a 2019 LD(2018) Silverado Z71. It came with the 18” wheels. I’d planned on buying the Eibach Pro kit that lifts your front 2-2.5”. Planned on running 275/70-18 on stock wheel. Will it hit my UCA?

 

Another wheel I’m considering is the Enkei RPT1 in 18x9 with 0mm offset and 5.078” backspacing.

 

Pic of white truck is the one in question.

Pic of tan truck is my CUCV square just for fun.

 

TIA

Do you guys know if the 2019 Silverado LD/Classic has the steel UCA's? I'm sure the topic has been beat to death, but I'm going to be doing a leveling kit on my 2WD 2019 LD. 

 

Thanks

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
