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.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
