Much appreciated.  I love the wheels that I have.  I don't want to get rid of them.  I would rather spend money on control arms to fix the issue if I can.


Is your truck leveled?

Nice tire choice, looks good man.  Do a small leveling kit (1.5-2"), and grab a 1/4" wheel spacer (if needed) and you should be rub free.   My dad runs that tire size on factory snowflake 20s with a 2" leveling kit, and he doesn't rub on anything (control arms, sway bar, or wheel liner).  We will be doing 1.5" BORA spacers  on his to get a more aggressive stance since he likes the factory wheels.

I saw those 1/4" wheel spacers.  Wasn't sure if I wanted to put those on there or not.  I like to avoid spacers since I do tow my boat and have future plans of pulling my Jeep as well.

Totally get it, everyone wants bigger tires replacing those oem donut tires on their truck but you’ve got to do it RIGHT or else you’ll be damaging things and quadruple your cost. I’d go back to stock “if” you’re not going to level. Quality UCA’s will cost you a lot more than just a small level (Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks) and because you want to keep your wheels, possibly 1” spacers. I’m not crazy about spacers either, get different offset wheels, but you continue with just having larger tires with no suspension mods, hit a hard dip and you’re going to tear up a lot more than you’d like to.

What year is your dads and wheel size?

Is a 2" lift with stock snowflake wheels okay to fit 285/60/20?


15-18’s all have new stamped steel UCA’s which either rub with larger tires or with leveling. Either 1” spacer or new offset wheels which either will give a better stance. 285’s will rub something but not the 275’s. My 18 GMC CrewCab Z71

Just remember this, your gas mileage will drop approximately 2 mpg’s just by adding larger heavier tires and if you have done a level which also possibly dropped additional 1/2 to full mpg or more so all in all you’ll loose approximately 3mpg with a level (much worse with lift kit) and larger tires and to some people that’s a lot of miles you’ll be losing just for a better stance. Some people have also mentioned somewhat of a rougher ride with just a level. I’ve got 2.25” billet aluminum upper and lower level up front, 1” added in rear, 285/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers with a +1 offset Fuel wheel and I still had to zip tie the liner.

The Ridge Grapplers that I have are 34” x 11.50x 20 which are approximately 1/3” of an inch fuller than KO2’s which is why I’m getting a bit of rub on inner liner..

Let’s stick with calling your wheels 20” wheels and leave out the “snowflake” [emoji6]

My personal experience, NO! Once you level, you bring the UCA’s closer to the tires. Either spacers will be needed which I’m not a big fan or my recommendation is to sell your 20” wheels and buy 20x9 +1 offset. Or you could just drive around with just the level?

Sorry, Tapatalk issues, for some reason I cannot find the wheel and tire setup you were talking about, something about your dad has same wheel tire setup with ? Tire size and a 2” level.

And you have no rub at all on a full turn lock?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
