New to the forums.  Thanks for having me.  I know I'm splitting hairs with this thread but I want to get the most I can but not have dirt/mud up the side of my truck.

 

2019 Silverado 1500 LD (old body style).  Looking to put wheels/tires on.  I'm good on the largest tire as I've read plenty of threads on that.  What I'm more worried about is how much I can bring the tire OUT until it start splattering dirt/mud up the side of my truck.  I did put nice GM mud flaps on.  The first 2 weeks I had it I was going crazy because of the amount of mess up the side of the truck from not having flaps.

 

So with nice GM mud flaps on, how far out do you think I can bring the tire before it starts splattering up the side again?  I was thinking about 1".  

 

If 1" is an accurate assumption, I have a question about offset.  If I'm keeping the same 20x9 wheel and I go from a +27 to a +12, is it safe to say I'm bringing the tire out 0.6" since 15mm is 0.6"?

 

And if that's correct, can I get a tire that is about 1" wider (.5" to the inside and .5" to the outside) to get me to 1.1" of moving the tire out?

 

So here's the scanrio.

 

2" level kit.

20x9 +12 wheel

295 55 20 tires

 

Does it seem like this should work all the way around and keep my tire tucked behind the mud flaps?  Wheel should bring it out 0.6" and tire 0.4" for a total of 1".  Again, I know this is splitting hairs but I want to understand what I'm doing before spending a couple grand.

Your best bet is to go to custom offsets and go to their gallery, tons of pics of trucks with all kinds of wheels and tires, all detailed about tire sizes, amount of lift or level, wheel sizes including offsets.

I did end up finding that site after posting this thread.  That is a really cool gallery they have especially with all the details on what the truck has.

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
