I have a 2018 Silverado Redline and it came stock with 275/55/20. Im looking into buying new wheels for it, a different set of 20s, and Im trying to figure out what offset to run with stock suspension. 
The truck has not been leveled and I dont intend to do so. Im looking to get a wheel with the same size tires that came on it, but I dont want any rubbing, a 1/2 out past the fender would be fine, anything more I wouldnt like.

 

Please help

Thanks

Trevor.

20x9”, +27mm is most stock wheels.

 

You say past the fenders is ok, but do you want to push the tires out more, or simply avoid rubbing?

Well, they stick out past the fender now about a 1/2 inch, I do like the way that looks, anything beyond that Im trying to stay away from. Basically Im trying to keep the truck as close to stock as possible, I just need a set of winter wheels as well. So in the grand scheme of things, I dont want to push them out any more than they already are and Id like to avoid rubbing entirely. 

 

Thanks!

 

Side note, I feel I should clear this up, this is my mothers pickup, shes wants two sets of wheels, one for the winter and one for the summer. She will not let me level it, she doesnt want an aggressive stance, so past the fenders more than stock is a no no. Ridiculous I know, but I have to appease her lol

You can get the same offset on a lot of aftermarket wheels as you have now. Go to a discount tire, tell them you need help with that, many times you can find clearances at 4wheelparts. Your offset is stamped on the wheel you have, you’ll need to take it off cause it’s on the back of your wheel. Just remember, you can find a ton of people selling their stock wheels that’ll fit your truck if you’re interested. If you ever want to lift it you can get a CST suspension lift kit that’ll allow you to still keep your stock wheels and same track width. Good luck

Keep in mind, you could run a 17” or 18” setup in the winter, and the cost would be a lot lower.

I was told I cant fit a 17 on the redline due to the "Performance brakes".

Oh, I did not know you had upgraded brakes. I’m pretty sure those were an additional option on top of the Redline package, but I could be wrong.

Does it have red front calipers (actual calipers not caliper covers)?

There’s a kit you could buy that’ll mimic the red calipers by just applying an aluminum cap onto the existing calipers for $200. Incase someone was interested. Ok, moving on [emoji6]

Came with 6 piston front calipers. They arent caliper covers. 20x9x27 is factory, I checked the wheel. Next question, what is a moderate offset to pop em out past the fenders a little bit?

I've seen 0 (zero) offset wheels on a truck and I think they stick out too far for a stock truck.  I would pick something about midway between the 0 and the stock +27. 

I'm also guessing you have a performance brake package, my redline has std brakes.

I am interested in the performance brakes as well. I have a 18 redline but I don’t think it has any upgraded brakes. Love the redline edition. What colors you guys got?

I asked a while back if 0 offset wheels would cause rubbing on stock suspension, but I don't think anybody responded.  Looking at my truck, it looks like at minimum you would have to tie the fender liner back.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
