Wheel/Tire Question

I have been reading all the tire/wheel threads for over two years on here. I'm finally ready to buy a new set for my 16 CC Silverado 1500 with a 2" level on it.  I have them in my cart ready to pull the trigger but just want to verify I'm not going to have an issue. I've read some have and most haven't. I have the cast control arms. I'm looking at the Moto Metal Daggers in 18x9 with +18mm offset. Tires are Falken Wildpeak 285/65-18's. The tires calculate out to a half inch taller and just a bit over half inch wider than my stock 265 Goodyears. I see people go with the 0 offset a lot too but I don't want them sticking out past the wheel lips. I wouldn't ask but I just sat at a gun shop this weekend helping Boy Scouts selling tickets and about every fourth truck pulling in had the tires rubbing on the sharp turn into the lot. I really would prefer not to deal with that. Thanks for any and all help.

You can do a couple things. You can go out to truck and turn your wheels to full lock and see what kind of clearance you will have with that extra inch but also take into consideration the suspension. You could also do some trimming if need be. Now you say you see people rolling and they are rubbing, and all I can say about that is they didnt take the time and do it right. My 2 cents

I'm running the Falken Wildpeak AT3s, 305/55/20, with a 2.5 level and I only rub on full lock in reverse. And it barely rubs at that. My wheels are 20x9 with a 0 offset and they sit just about flush with the fender.

I have approximately a 2.25" level and I have 285/70R17 tires on 17x9 wheels with a -12 offset.  Mine stick out slightly past the fenders, and the only trimming I had to do was on the little plastic guard the wraps around the lower rear portion of the wheel well.  Since your wheels will be farther inboard than mine I dont see you needing to trim anything.  You may have to do the zip tie mod to pull the fender liner closer to the frame.

I had time to go to the garage and check this out finally. There's not a whole lot of extra room in there when you're at full lock, even with the stock tire and wheel. I think a 285/65-18 would be ok. Appreciate the info!

Wow, that really looks good! I kind of wanted to stay with the 18" sizes just due to all you read about the Chevy shake. I don't have the shake now. But after looking at this pic, I like those! And the 0 offset might just work too. Decisions, decisions. And I started reading through the "lift kit" thread. Man, now I'm thinking I might want to go with a lift. I should just stay off this site. Lol. Thanks for the reply and pics.

Thanks man, this site is really good at making you want to spend more on your truck. LOL  I'm still planning on doing either a 4.5" or 6" lift, maybe when these tires wear down and I need to replace them. I want to put some 35s on these wheels.

      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.
