I know the K2 guys have one of these threads so I figured we should too. Think it’d be useful for others. Post pics of your setup! Make sure to add specs of the wheels/tires, spacers, suspension, rubb

What width of a 20 inch wheel and what brand/model? Your offset will depend a lot upon that. Im running a 20x9 Fuel Rage with a +1 offset running a 295/60/20 which is a 34x11.5 tire. Running a 20x10 will be different. A 20x9 with a +12 offset seems a bit pushed inside (positive pushes the wheel closer inward) but the backspacing may play a factor here with the wheel design. A 285/55/20 should fit a stock GM 20 inch wheel so what you are asking for should work in theory.

I will be going with either the Venomrex 601 

Wheel Specs
Size: 20X9.0
Offset: 0 (Chevy/GMC/Dodge)
Backspacing: 5.0" (Chevy/GMC/Dodge)
 

 

Or the Black Rhino Shrapnel

A 285/60 should fit just fine with either wheel size. A 285/60 is about a 33.5 x 11 and a 285/55 is 32.3 x 11. I would personally run the 285/60 as its only .5 inch taller than stock whereas the 285/55 is nearly an inch shorter. That 285/60 under load will probably sit at about 33 inches on the truck. The 285/55 under load will be less than 32 inches and look small on the truck/wheel plus will cause the speed to be off more.

Thank you, very helpful.

Got tired of waiting for my lift.  Did some driveway fantasizing, emphasis on sizing.20200902_082759.thumb.jpg.8f459c143aed8f9adf7a8011b94e1c25.jpg. 

295/60/20 Vision Spyder 20x9 zero offset.    Funny there's no rubbing or trimming needed? ??

Just went through the whole thread and I think I know what will fit.  Just want to throw the question out to the experts on here.  I have a 2020 Trail Boss with mud flaps removed and Lund fender flares, they add about 3/4" to the fenders.  The stock 18's now sit back about 1 1/2" from the outside of the flares.  I want to run a 295/60/20 (34"x11.5") tire, I have the MotoFab 1" level but don't want to put it on unless I have to.  What offset on a 20x10 will fit without rubbing?  I'm thinking a 0 offset should push the outside out 1.5", am I right?

Went back and double checked the wheel and tire weights comparing the OEM 22s vs my new setup. Its actually a 19lb difference (Stock is 85lbs total and current setup is 104lbs) so quite a difference. If I change out to a 305/55/20 Nitto that will drop this to 89lbs so only a 4lb increase over stock but a 15lb difference with my current setup. I must have mixed up one of the tires when I was originally researching all of this as I was looking at a ton of different combinations. I also measured the current amount of space between the current 295/60 tire (runs at 33.9 x 11.77 width per Nitto) and my UCA and its right about 1.75 inches on each side and that was measuring off of the raised tread blocks. The 305/55 runs at 33.2 x 12.44 wide on a 9.5 inch wheel which I think will settle more into a 12.25 on a 9 inch wheel plus they are a bit shorter. Should be plenty of room and I have already done a bit of mud flap trimming to better accommodate the 34 inch tires on there now. Needless to say I went ahead and ordered the 305/55/20 Nittos today with the shop I use agreeing to buy my originals back at a decent price as they only have about 1,500 miles on them. I wont have time to get this done until the end of the week at the earliest but will report back once its done. 

Had the 305/55/20 ridge grapplers installed last week. Ride is a ton better than it was with the 295/60 E load rated ridge grapplers. The 305s are D load rated vs the OEM C load rated so they are still a bit stiffer than OEM but still the 305s are a 4 ply tire and softer overall. The visual difference on the truck is so small that I cant even tell the difference so didnt bother taking more pictures. I will say that even with some minor trimming of the mud flaps, the 295/60 had some minor rubbing at full lock. There is 0 rubbing now with the 305s. Even though the the 305s are 1 inch wider (11.5 vs. 12.5) on a 20x9 they are right about 12 wide. Im guessing that on a 20x10 they would be closer to the 12.5. With this change my speedo is also back to normal (was off by 2-3 mph depending upon speed) and I removed 60 lbs of rotating mass (15 per wheel/tire). This seems to be the sweet spot for my truck now so hopefully others with a Denali who are contemplating doing something like this will benefit from this info.

Front fender liner plastic removed and zip tied away from the tire.

Lots of trimming on the mudflap and cut the bottom screw hole off the metal part of the fender. Bolted the mud flap back through the furthest hole for the bracket and gave me quite a bit of room with stock look.

Rides awesome and looks awesome!

I’m apologizing now....I’m sorry....there’s just so much information in this thread. [emoji1750][emoji1750]

 

2020 Sierra Elevation 2” level....what’s the biggest tire with zero trimming? Most likely Ridge Grapplers on 20 inch stock wheels, and/or 18 inch that I would potentially get. After looking through pictures, I like the look of more tire.

 

There are so many variations, Trail Boss, AT4, lifts, levels, stock, rim size...on and on haha.

 

Again, I’m sorry, haha, skip it if it irritates you, no hate needed.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
