For what it’s worth I run 20x8.5 +10mm kmc slides with 275x60r 20 on my 2016 z71. Currently at stock height I rub the inner wheel well at full lock and also graze the weather tech mud flaps when in reverse and on a slant. 
 

I will be getting the bilstein 5100 shocks and setting them on the 3rd ring which should give me the little extra clearance I need and have a little less than 1” rack back to front, which I want since I tow my boat.

Sharp looking truck! Mine is Summit White as well. What did you use to darken the headlights and turn signals? Looks really good.

UPDATE #2

I decided I was going to try the 33s one more time with plastic trimming, successfully pulled it off! Very very minor rub on fender liner at full lock. I don't 4 wheel other than a occasional camp road and every where else I drive this setup will be fine. So these are 33x12.50x20 Atturo Trail Blades on a 20x10 -24 MotoMetal 970.55ce3e452b3b69fd6bafa7e95ed63f75.jpgd9ee7b19a027ab222ba0aa21f76d3e06.jpge3a9759cb159f5ca30b559a623e8eb67.jpg

Thanks for the update! Great looking truck, I originally went for a red one, but they only had one with leather in white at the time so that's what I drove home.

Thank you! I used Lamin-x in the tint color. Quality, thick stuff and comes precut. They run coupons all the time. Got mine 25% off.

      Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
