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?

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?

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

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
