I don't understand everyone's obsession with Fuel wheels. They're ugly and expensive. I HATE the massive center caps on them so they can sell them as dual bolt patterns to save money.

Is anyone running 305/70R18 with a +1 offset and 5 inch backspace on there setup. I am currently running the stock set up on my 2020 silverado 1500 6.2 Ltz with bilstein 5100 front struts set to max setting got about a 2 inch lift overall set at the max. I was squating in the back so I added a 2 inch block and bilstein shocks in rear. Want to upgrade my wheels and tires now just not sure how big I can go I am willing to to cut some plastic and remove the mud flap bracket but don't want to have to take the crash bar out just yet maybe in the future. I also tow a 8500 lb camper trailer a few times a year I will be getting air bags soon for that.

These tires do not rub with stock trail boss suspension (removed blocks in the rear), and I’m running the Bilstein B8 5100 trail boss struts up front, regular Silverado shocks in the rear. Rides really nice.

 

The tires poke out 2” past a 2” flare. It was either fender lights or flares with more than 3” of protrusion, so thanks, Virginia, I’m running a fender flare instead of a light, because this truck is not a 2500.

Much quieter. I had the 18” Goodyears and they started screaming at 25,000 miles. I’ve put 20,000 on my mickeys and they haven’t worn much, if at all. They’re load range F (12 ply), and I run about 42-44 psi in them.

The M/T Baja Boss A/Ts are a tad bit more expensive than the Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws and the BF Goodrich KO2s, but I’ve had all three. I loved my Falkens, but these Mickey’s are my favorite. KO2’s wear out too fast and cup real easy

i pulled the trigger on the Baja Boss A/Ts since my local AAA shop matched the ebay/discount tire 20% that's currently running. i get them put on early next week. looking forward to the 'quieter' ride.

2019 LT TB. I’ll be riding stock suspension. Read through a lot of the thread here and it seems like I’ll be good with a 18x9 +18 Moto Metal Mo970 and 33x12.50 Ko2s, right? No rub? And if it’s on the flap I’ll just cut some.

How are you liking these?  Loud? Smooth?
