Hello all, I have been running my 2021 3500 on the stock black 18" wheels with some 295/70/18 wilkpeaks for about a year now. As usual I am bored with it so I wanted to get different wheels. I want to go with 20" wheels and I wanted something with a little more lip and that sits more flush. I found a few brands now that are making 20x10 wheels with a positive offset and found some Weld off-road wheels that were on sale for by 2 get 2 free so grabbed them. Just trying to decide on tires now. I usually buy my tires from Discount tire because I always have and have never had a bad experience. The manager at my store is telling me that if I use that wheel with a 285/65/20 that it will rub at stock height. So obviously a 295/65/20 would even worse. After exhaustive internet searching It seems plenty of people are running something similar and not having that problem. Doing the math with that wheel a 285/65/20 is going to stick out 1" farther than my current set up and the 295/65/20 is going to stick out 1 1/4" farther than my current set up. Both would put the outside of my tire right about flush with the fenders. If anyone is running something similar can you confirm or deny I'll have issues with this if I don't raise the front up some? My other issue is wondering if the 285 tire will look ok on a 10" wide wheel. The more I think about it I may just go with the 295 so there is a little more width on that wheel. Any help is greatly appreciated. Sadly I don't have pictures of my truck with the current stock wheels and the wildpeaks. I attached a picture of the wheels I bought.  redondo-w113.thumb.jpg.0568424351beb72c9b43f797575cfd29.jpg

sorry I don't have any input on tire size; I'm going to follow for pics after you decide and get them installed.  Look forward to seeing the truck after mounted!

 

Have you looked into adding a leveling kit?  I'm sure that'd give you plenty of clearance since you're not going with anything crazy wide.

I don’t want to level it. It’s used mostly to tow our RV fish house year round and it squats the rear over 2 inches. I actually have been flashed quite a bit the couple times I’ve towed in the dark. I need to put some timbrens or sumo springs in. 
 

I’ve also now considered sticking with 18’s. I’m currently running 295/70/18 Wild peak at3w’s on my stock black 18’s that only have about 7k miles on them. All the tires I want in the 295/65/20 are $400 a piece or more. So now I’m thinking about getting some 18x9 wheels around a 0 offset. That way I don’t have to buy tires or pressure sensors. I really just want that wider stance and this would accomplish that

So last night I went out and took some measurements on my stock wheels with the 295/70/18 Wild peaks. Using a 4’ level it turns out the side wall of my tire is nearly flush maybe 1/4” tucked in from the fender. So this morning I decided to order up some Fuel Blitz wheels in 18x9 +20mm offset in gloss black. This will actually move everything out almost an inch. So I’ll have just a little poke from the fenders which is what I want. But it still keeps the main part of the tread under the fender. Plus the wheel being an inch wider will square up the tire some more which is also what I wanted. I’ll come back and post some before and after pictures. Plus being able to reuse the tires and the pressure sensors is saving me a lot of money.

Are you planning to sell your OEM rims?  Been trying to find a set of black 18" rims but most take offs seem to be 20s

was really curious to see the Welds mounted, but the Fuels look good too.  Can't wait to see them mounted up.

Well the title of this thread certainly doesn’t apply anymore but I figure I’ll keep updating. Turns out the Fuel Blitz gloss black 18x9 are on national back order in the +20 offset and the +1 offset. I checked multiple places and they all said the same. 60-90 day’s minimum but could be much longer. I had initially wanted to go up to 20’s and since these wheels were available in 20x9 +20 offset I ordered them.
 

I’m also very glad I never mounted tires on the weld off-road 20x10’s I initially ordered. While at discount tire the manager showed me a wheel offset calculator that they use to help people choose wheels. Going from a 8” wide wheel and +44 offset to a 20x10 +13 offset would have moved the outside edge of the wheel about 2-1/4” farther out. And that’s just the wheel it doesn’t include how much farther the side of the tire sticks out. Being as currently the outside edge of my tire is almost flush with the fender I would have been sticking out likely well over 2”.

 

long story short I have the Fuel wheels on order and ordered a set of the new Nokian Outpost A/Ts in a 285/65/20. I’ll come back with pictures when I get the new set on.

I ordered Fuel covert 18x9+20 with Nitto Recon tires 295/70R18 . 
based on my math calculations. I should end up really flush with my fenders or very close to it. 
Which is what I am after. Custom Wheel offsets has a great gallery for seeing what different combinations look like. 
May not find the exact wheel tire combo your wanting but you can find sizes and offsets like;y similar to what your looking for in similar size and offset with similar size tires.

I searched their gallery way too much plus other sites as well trying to figure out what I wanted. It was very helpful though. I originally wanted something a little more aggressive and ended up more tame. I wanted to go with a 295/65/20 tire but ended up with 285/65/20 Nokian outpost A/T tires. I went this route because discount tire gives you 30 days to try tires and if you don’t like them for any reason you can return them. They aren’t quite the look I wanted but they are smooth and quiet. I had 295/70/18 Falken Wild Peak A/T3W on my stock wheels and I’m shocked how much louder and rougher the ride was with them. So now I think I’ll just stick with the Nokian because I’m so happy with the ride. I wanted to try the Recon Grapplers but they aren’t 3peak snow rated and I do a lot of ice fishing so that was a deal breaker. Then I wanted to go with the Toyo A/T3 but I got the Nokians for $100 each cheaper so I decided to give them a try.EE1A1171-4523-408D-B849-FFC64CEFE959.thumb.jpeg.56a3647936ae0386df4142a856a3b597.jpeg0C936AB6-900E-4FC9-B746-5C24AA8959D8.thumb.jpeg.5c2aee3bd008fabc0483879e79a80840.jpeg9FAE84C5-304D-49B7-8722-2B056CDA0EF4.thumb.jpeg.c5d594e1c8fc795ac9693e1a82df77dc.jpeg

Turns out Finn and I have identical trucks, with the exception of a 2500 vs. a 3500.  Anyway, here’s the Weld wheels with Toyo 35x11.50.  Not sure why my picture is upside down, but thought I’d share what they look like. I gave the stock keys 5 turns, I might turn them down one and then get my alignment.

Looks good. I ended up turning my keys back down 1.5 turns, so I ended at 3.5. This gave me a little bit of rake and minimal rubbing. It hits the felt liner at full lock but clears the mud flaps with ease. It’s currently at the shop for an alignment, I’m interested to see how far off it was.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.
