Hey guys need some advice if anyone knows that 285/60/20 (33.5 x 11.5) will fit on my trail boss with the factory lift with no rub. I want to pair with +15mm offset aftermarket rims which will give me about a cm more offset than stock. 

My 2nd choice was 275/60/20 but would like the 285 if they will fit.

I just saw this post but I have 33.5x12.5 R20 on my stock height Trail Boss with a 0mm offset rim and it only rubs slighty at full lock.  You may be good to run this size with no rub.

Hey man, quick question, noticed a Trail Boss on Instagram, they had 295/55/r20, I asked him why he didn’t go bigger and he said that was the largest size with out having to recalibrate the mph and he said one didn’t exist for the 2019 to recalibrate it.  Did you have to readjust the mph for your tires?  He also said those fit with out issues, so I am sure the tires for the OP should work fine, I was looking at 305’s for my trailboss.

I did not recalibrate mine because it's only off 1 mph for every 30 that I am going so for example if my speedometer shows 60 mph, I am actually going 62 mph so it's not a big deal really.  I am running the size you want to use 305/55R20 (33.5x12.5R20) and mine does slightly rub at full lock but it's not that bad at all.  I have a 0 mm offset rim and if ur rim has a more positive offset then it may not rub at all.  Below is a picture of how far they stick out with a 0 mm offset rim.  Any other questions, please feel free to ask.

haha, I have a lot of questions lol.. how did you get your tires to stick out so much with a 0 offset, are you running spacers?  this is the most confusing part for me, trying to pick wheels out, but I have no idea how the width of the tire and offset match up.  Meaning I have seen pics with trucks with the 305's with 0 offset that are out about .5 to 1" then I have seen the same thing with -12 and -24 offset where they are out about an1".  So are some running spacers? does the width of the tire make a difference in how far it sticks out with the offset?  I want them to be somewhere in between the .5-1" out from fender, so I dont know if I need 0, -12 or -24 offset.  LOL.

 

The other question is how does offset affect handling and tire wear?

 

Sorry to the OP to hijacking his thread!

I am not running spacers.  My rims are 20x9 with a 0 mm offset.  They honestly stick out around 1".  The picture is a little deceiving because of the angle it was taken from.  Here is a better picture.  If you try and run anything lower than 0 mm offset on a 305 you will rub a lot.  Mine rubs very slightly at full lock but it doesnt really bother me.  Also, the width of the tire will definitely play a difference on how far it sticks out.  Some tires claim to be a certain size and they are not.  My Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs are 305/55R20 and they actually measure out to 33.5x12.5

Would you mind posting a picture off angle or off to the side?   That really looks nice and it would help me also with tire size!

 

 

Let me know if these pics work or you want any different angles

Thanks.  That looks sweet.  I have a 2019 Denali and was contacted to do a test 3” lift and want to do new wheels and tires and this helps with sizing.  I’m curious as to max size tires I can get with 22s.

Thanks.  You can probably squeeze 35s on there if they are not 12.5 wide since you would be close to the height of a Trailboss with a level but still a little shorter.  You could get away with 35x12.5s but they will most likely rub a little.  You can for sure fit 33x12.5s.  Make sure the 22s are either 22x9 or 22x10 because anything wider and they will stick too far out and rub.  Also make sure that the wheels clear the calipers as the calipers on the 19s are larger and the spokes on some rims wont clear without spacers.

Hey do you think a 295/60r20 (33.94” x 11.77”). Would fit better with no rub?  I would be looking at a 20x9 wheel with 0 offset?  Is it the width that causes the problem or diameter?  I was assuming the width which is why i thought these might work better, still wide enough, but almost 3/4” smaller in width than the 305/55r20 (33.23” x 12.44”) I am going off measurements for the nitto ridge grapplers for both tire measurements.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
