wondering if anyone has done custom offset wheels with no isses thinking about running a - 19 offset

Offset can mean a lot of things without knowing the wheel width :)

With that being said, that is a common offset for a 10” wide rim. -18 to -25 is fairly common on a 10” wide rim just FYI.

Lots of people running that, no major issues as far as the rim itself. So it’s going to come down to tire size as well where you could run into some issues if not leveled/lifted.

I am looking at another set of rims and tires too. My truck is not lifted (no plans to do so), running the 20" rims now, would likely do the same for my 2nd set. I would like the 2nd set of wheels to be more for road use, maybe Michelin Defenders. 

 

The factory wheels are +40 offset, that's the part that has me confused, I don't want to end up with wheels that stick way out. 

 

Can I run +20 or lower offset with OEM size tires? and does that mean the wheel will be sticking out from the truck by 20mm more than the factory +40 wheel?

factory +47 now

yes you can run +20 without issues

 

Thanks, good to know. 

 

Does anyone know what the factory 20" wheels weigh? or have a place that shows wheel weight?

Found my own answer, Factory 20s weigh in at 44LB

Thanks for finding and posting this! I was curious as well. The 22’s I’m looking at are 53 lbs, the 20” version is 50 lbs so still heavier than stock, darn.

Can i add to this?   I am thinking of taking the 20's off my custom and put 18x9's on with 35x11 tires (285 75 18).   Selecting a wheel has bee confusing.  I am starting to think 0 offset is safe but there are additional options with a -12 to -18 offset.    given the 9"wheel and 11" tire would I still be ok at -12 offset?

You'd likely need to level the front.  I'm on my second set of rims on my 2020 2500.  1st set were 20" 295/60 20 0n +10's.  They rubbed slightly in reverse, all stock.  Switched to black rims now with 20" +18's with 285/65/20 they rub just barely while in reverse going over curb while exiting the driveway at full lock but they don't run for the most part.  It seems wider tires cause more issues than taller.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
