Sounds good I plan on trimming to make them fit. Im not too worried about the rubbing as much as being able to get a full turn out of it. Does yours allow for full lock or close? Im planning on putting a 33.7" tires so I didn't know if yours was at full lock or close enough. 

It was even close to full lock where they would rub.

Recently made the transition from a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double Cab Short Bed to a 2020 Silverado Z71 Duramax 3.0 RST Crew Cab. Just completed the lift and wheel/tire package. Here are the details

That was actually has me worried is there seems to be a lot of miscommunication with them. I have two emails where they both say "okay sir we will ship the spacers seperate"...yet I call today to double check things and Carly the rep said oh we're waiting on spacers to finish your order. I was mind blown and pretty pissed off. Considering I could of had the wheels realistically mid next week which would have lined up with my days off. But what can ya do. How hard was getting coordinated with the freight company?

Ps I don't mean to thread jack I love the set up.

No sweat - lets face it, this is the exciting part. They freight company was fine, very accommodating. They called my cell directly and the dispatcher was pleasant and easy to work with, but again, there are thousands of them so your mileage may vary. Also, don't underestimate how much 20" wheels mounted on tires weigh - wow. Custom Offsets seems a little disorganized. Overall I would use them again but know I 'know what I know' so I'd be a little more detailed.

Haha you ain't shittin' I was thrown off by how much the stock 18s weighed. Yesterday doing my level kit I was like holy crap....granted I'm coming from my precious car being an import we're 18x10s we're huge on it [emoji23]and super light BBS.

Definitely be careful with these! The shipping weight for the setup was around 470lbs so do the math.

Good to know! I think I'll luck out and be able to have the semi make it down my street so I don't have to meet them anywhere.

Best of luck, looking forward to seeing the setup! This truck gets so many compliments, wherever I go. I live in Boston proper so you can imagine there aren't many lifted blacked-out Silverado Diesel's with bronze 20" wheel :)

@FrankK986, awesome post and great info. Your rig looks killer!

 

Random (read: potentially dumb) question - I'm wanting to buy the same wheels you have, but in an 18". Any idea if I'll have fitment issues based on the way the wheel is shaped? I absolutely realize that this is a stretch, feel free to give me the flack I deserve for asking lol. But, there's just not a ton of info out there on wheel fitment over the brake calipers on these trucks. I'd like to avoid 20" wheels and avoid the use of spacers if it's possible.

 

Any thoughts?

Not a dumb question! First, I’d try talking with someone at Custom Offests. They know their stuff when it comes to offset/fitment etc.

Secondly, my first concern would be with the design of the wheel in an 18” where you may have a issue clearing the caliper. 20” clears no problem. The spacers don’t make much of a difference and i may actually remove them because they push the wheels out just a little too much.

Hope this helps!

Thats good to know because I know my wheels will arrive ahead of my spacers. As well as i also do not want it to stick out a ton and send stones ripping into my body.

Right on, I'll have to give Custom Offsets a shout. Thanks for the tip!

Have you noticed any difference in your fuel mileage?

Definitely. I would say about a -5Mpg difference with this setup. I've only driven the truck 2500mi in 6 mos so it doesn't bother me. I would expect a similar delta if you are going with a like-setup.

Now that’s a fine looking rig there!

 

Did you go with aftermarket upper control arms or still using the stock/oem?

Thank you! The Superlift kit comes with aftermarket upper control arms. It's reasonably priced for what you get.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
