285 45 22s on oem replicas. I went the budget route to get me into some 22s. Now im wanting to upgrade for a little more sidewall to either 275 50 or 305 45s. What y'all think?

I would go with some 285 50 22s
That's a little over 33" the 305 45 is 32.8" so you get a little more sidewall with the 285s and they fit without rub in stock suspension

Would love some 285 50s but all ive found are really expensive and 10 ply which is gonna kill mpg. Thats why I thought about 305 45s but the width is gonna also kill mpgs. Probably settle with 275 50s.

Depending on where you live I have the stock 275 50 22 alenza tires for sale. I think they go for 250 each so I'd let all 4 go for 600. They have a little over 4000 miles on them

I'm in Western KY. Almost bought the Alenzas on EBay but I've heard they're not that great for the $$. Thinking about going with Radar on Simple tire. Got great reviews and is 60k tire.

Discount Tire had ordered me a set of black lug nuts, but they were delayed so the chrome lug nuts are temporary.

17 inch Method MR701 Bronze 

35/12.5/17 Toyo Open Country R/T

Eibach pro truck lift struts and springs 3” lift in front, TB 2” block in rear. 
1.25 spacers all around. Very tight clearance with the spacers but I’ve done lots of trimming and I’m still getting some rubbing in full lock but it’s not bad. Tires are amazing, smooth as silk on the freeway and super quiet.

Do you have any pics of the full truck? What is your wheel width and final offset? 

 

I have a 17x9 et1 with 285/75R17s going on the truck on Tuesday.

Thats awesome man, I love the look.  Did you have to do a lot of trimming to get everything to fit?

So you’ve got a at4 which is already higher and then u add another 2” of lift? And u say those tires r rubbing bad?? At the dealership where I bought my slt the manager was driving a stock slt with factory rims with 285/60-20 ko2. No rubbing, no issues. Ur willing to cut up and butcher a $60K+ vehicle just so u can run those stupid ass wide rims? Faak I wish I had ur money!

    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends. 
    • 185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
