I clicked thru all 65 pages...mostly aftermarket wheels and trucks with lifts. Lot's of good looking trucks in here.

 

I'm wanting to put a small upsized tire on my 2022 Silverado Custom. My factory equipped Bridgestone tires have 50k on them, and I'm about done with them. They are 275/60R20's

 

I'd like to get something slightly taller, and slightly wider. To fill out the wheel well. But I don't want to have any rubbing.

 

What size should I go with? Thanks in advance.

2" block rear lift

2.5" front lift (C-clip position #2)

Trailboss 5100's

Rough Country UCAs

OE wheels 18" Trailboss replicas

Falken Wildpeak AT3 295 70 R18

 

Tire was rubbing the UCA on the sidewall lugs so I had to install a Rough Country 1/4" wheel spacer

Slight rubbing on mudflap in reverse/full lock

Would you happen to have a picture or two of the rubbing on the control arm? I have the Rough Country 3.5" lift (3.5" strut block and 2.5" rear block) on my diesel and currently have 275/70/18 tires (33"). It currently is .5" or more of space betweem A-arm and tire.  I was thinking on the next replacement that i'd jump to the 34's, but curious if i'd be rubbing too. Was planning on using my stock 18's and not having to use a spacer. I wonder if i went with the Bridgestone at/revo3 that i have now, just in a bigger size, if they would fit? maybe they aren't as wide as the wildpeaks.

Probably would be okay with the Bridgestones.  This pic was before the spacer.  As you can see just barely touching the sidewall lugs.

What is everyone running for speedometer calibration? Rough Country ($260), hypertech, and Pulsar LT ($550) seem like the only options. Dealerships said they can't program for me. Right now I'm holding out for a tuner from RunVSE.

I have a Rough Country for mine. I only ran it for a couple days when I had 275/65/20's on. I'll be putting 35's on once the snow's gone in Michigan and I can get the lift installed. I'll put it back in place then. It's easy to use, you plug it into your computer and input stock tire size and new tire size and save. It then plugs in between one of the BCM plugs and the module tucks behind the drivers side kick panel.

I run the pulsar, put 33s on my RST and it’s almost dead on with satellite speedo. Got it for the other features too, have the AFM shut off and the auto start/stop turned off. Get better mpg now than when I had all that nonsense turned on

Switched tires out to Goodyear UltraTerrain. Best AT tire I've had.

Currently running the trailrunner At and from a price performance standpoint, I'm not sure how they get beat. 

 

Except they are not the most aggressive. Currently leaning towards ko2 but the ultra terrains are intriguing as well.

Off topic but what gear ratio did you set it to?

I didn’t change gears or anything so didn’t change any setting for that portion

I'm considering 295/70R18 Recon Grapplers on my bone stock 19 Trail Boss.  I have read multiple forums and watched a couple YouTube videos that show this setup works on a stock Trail Boss with stock wheels. I have not read of anyone having issues with rubbing or needing to trim anything.  If you have please share!!!  

I have previously been a BFG KO2 fan and have never ran Nitto tires.  I have built a good relationship with a local shop over the past couple years and they highly recommend the Recon Grapplers.  Their local supplier does not stock the BFG KO2.

 

1.  Is the Recon Grappler a good alternative to the KO2?

2.  Is the 295/70R18 too big for my stock TB?

3.  Any big drawbacks in milage, noise, traction, that I need to know about?

    • I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons. 
    • 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.
