Have a 2020 1500 RST. Stock suspension. Looking at putting a 3.5” - 4” kit on the truck.. want to run an aggressive looking 35” tire on stock 20” wheels but don’t want serious rub.. anyone running a similar setup? Any pictures out there?

I installed these awhile ago but this is my 5.3 Elevation. It is levelled (in the rear). 20x9 Fuel Rebels on 33" Kendas.

Here is my setup

Fuel Vapor 20x10 -19mm offset

Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 275/65/20

I put on ready-lift 2inch leveling kit

did a mudflap bracket delete with trimming the innermost portion of the flap and zip tied the liner in one spot.

No rub at all

Used this forum to pick out my specific wheel and tire set up so I’m returning the favor!

 

20” Vossen HF6-4s 20x9.5- +15 offset.

275/60R20 Falken Wildpeak AT3W.

 

it has a 3” Superlift lift kit. The tire size is same as stock on the stock 20” OEM wheels. There is zero rubbing at full turn. This setup gives a similar look to a leveled AT4.

Looks great! Do you happen to have a photo down the side showing how much poke there is?

I do. It should be somewhere around 1” of poke over factory. Also added a picture of the clearance at full lock. I wasn’t interested in going any bigger than the stock tire sizing because I didn’t want to impact fuel economy too much with weight, overall I believe the new setup is just a touch lighter.

Thanks, that looks good. I actually had ordered these wheels a few days ago but in a +15 offset and 9.5” wide. Didn’t realize they had the other offset and widths available.

Vossen has a custom sizing program, you can get them in configurations from 8.5” - 12” wide and offsets from 0 - +48mm. But I just double checked my receipt, it says 20x9.5in +15mm offset. I called the sales person to confirm because he was telling me 0 offset over the phone previously, I think he was just mistaken. He said that the 20x9.5 +15 is the STANDARD size for these. I’ll update my post. What kind of tires are you going to fit on your vehicle?

Here are some more pictures for you as well. I included an image of my city MPG in just normal driving to show I can still maintain essentially the same MPG I was getting before. All city driving.

    • Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.
    • Better than stock but that's like putting lipstick on a pig
    • Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks, 
    • Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.   
    • So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
