2018 Silverado Z71 with Trail Boss rims

[BattleBorn iZ]

Anybody else running a 2018 Silverado with trail boss 18 in rims from a 2019 Silverado? I was wondering if those would fit a 2018 Silverado since the OEM tire is a 265/65/18 and the trail boss has a 275/65/18 tire. I was more concerned if they would rub or if I can swap out the trail boss tire with the 265/65/18?

I run a 275/65R18, and have no issues or rubbing.

Nice!!! Do you notice like a grind type noise when you drive and get up to 50mph? I got mine done today.

Not at all.  In fact, my original oem rims and tires always squealed when I made any tight turns.  That went away with my new setup.

@Raven Z71 Your truck looks badass though. Weird, I do notice having them on now a big difference. Especially that noise like its dragging in a way. I can feel it when I accelerate, but I don’t hear any sort of noise. Hope it doesn’t cause any damage.

Thank you, you have a nice one too.  I like the red on a Silverado; it looks good.  It won't cause any issues, I have had mine on for around a year, and had zero problems.  The ride is a little different but nothing major changed. I did notice my MPG decreased, slightly.

Thanks! It is a head turner for sure. I noticed a 2019-2020 Silverado next to me on the highway with the same wheels and we gave each other that head nod of approval lol. It was great. Let’s hope Chevy doesn’t try to pull that “warranty voided” card haha. You just never know.

I've had none of those issues either, and I just had mine returned for a failed USB problem, but they never gave me a hard time about my wheels.

@Raven Z71You live in NV? I was born and raised in Reno.

I had my wheels installed at the Chevy dealership, bought them from the Chevy website.
No issues on my end.
I, also, had the dealership install tow mirrors, cameras on both outside rear view mirrors and cameras on the third brake light as well as a front camera.
When it comes to the simple stuff, like adding a grab bar on the driver side A-pillar or a roll-up bed cover or splash guards or ... heck, where do I stop?
I leave the electrical stuff up to the dealer ship so I have someone to blame if it goes south.

I do, Las Vegas...not by choice.

@Raven Z71I’m in TX now. Sure miss the mountains though not the winters haha. @MikeBMW I ended up buying the wheels off a guy that removed them from his 2019 Silverado then I got them installed at Discount Tire. I should’ve made the smart move to have the dealership install them.

Even so, I doubt you'll have any issues.
I had my 33s installed at Firestone (bought from Tire Rack), than got my 35s installed at Firestone (also bought from Tire Rack).
Then, I wanted the black wheels and had the dealership swap them out.
They did a great job and put my old wheels back in the boxes the new wheels were shipped.
So, now, I have a stack of 33x12.5x18 BFGs as well as a stack of stock bright aluminum 18" wheels (in boxes) sitting in my storage shed. O_o
