I am looking at some 22's. On the 07 NBS do we need +30 to +40 offsets for aftermarket wheels? Would +15 to +20 work? I heard the lower offset might rub on a full turn? Would 305/45/22 clear with a non lowered truck and contoured mud flaps? Thanks

Anything you buy in a 22 - 24 inch wheel should be test fitted but it's been our experience that +20 or more should work depending on your tire choice.

 

I have 20x9 +30 offset wheels with 275-55-20 Pirellis and the tire is nice and flush with the outer wheel opening. No rubbing under any conditions with the 20s. Much less offset and the tires would stick out (which I dislike) and also likely rub at the front when turning.

 

305-45-22s would be about an inch taller and wider so I would think the offset would be critical.

What wheels (make and specific model) are those on your red GMC Sierra? I have the exact same truck in silver birch, and need ideas for an aftermarket wheel in 20".

 

Thank you.

Have you called the wheel manufacturer??? The ones I have delt with in the past has all or most of the answers you are looking for. They just don't make wheels without R&D and guess at the application of the wheel to the vehicle.

My wheels are Venti V98 20x9 - I got em because they had a little different look. I had chrome on my previous truck and wanted something with less flash. Look at the link in my sig for a better pic.

Thank you very much. I'll look into them.

      injector cleaner 2021 2.7 1500 silverado

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      GDI Injector tips are in the combustion chamber and yes, they are subject to the same aromatic hydrocarbon based carbon build up the entire chamber is subjected to. Chevron Techron is a PEA based cleaner (polyether amine)  that is VERY effective if the dose is high enough.  Carbon the tips disrupts the spray pattern so keeping them clean is kind of a big deal. It will clean more than the injector tips. It will keep the inside of the injector tip clean as well. When they shut off they 'hot soak' building varnish internally behind the pintle. The tip, unlike most MFI systems have several orifices of very small diameter. They have to stay clean to work right. That spray pattern is supposed to spray into the cup in the piston, not all over the cylinder walls. Old guys will understand...    Top Tier Chevron has enough of the cleaner to be effective if used regularly. Other solutions could be Shell V Power Nitro + Premium and Exxon/Mobil Supreme Plus Premium ONLY use a different chemistry to the same effect with the added bonus of a friction/antiwear additive as well. Red Line SI-1 is PEA based as well with an upper cylinder lube. There's a white paper on their site for shock treatment of system left untreated for long periods. AMSOIL PI has a full system cleaner of yet another chemistry that will strip carbon out of the power cylinder pretty quick. Gumout Regane is also PEA based but at very low doses and those that are isopropanol based will not be effective. Alcohol content is way to low. Chevron Techron in any pump gas, Use by package instructions. 10 oz per 15 gallons every 3,000 miles. First use may require two treatments.    So, Techron, Red Line SI-1 and AMSOIL PI if batch treating and Shell, XOM Premium or any Chevron Fuel will not just keep it clean, but will clean it if dirty. No other fuel "I'm aware of will do that".    Flex Fuel motors. If you use at least 40% alcohol on a regular basis they won't carbon at all. PEA is not recommended for fuels over E-20     (www.carparts.com)

      4 Wheel Drive System

      It is always a good idea to exercise it at least every few months to make sure the actuators don’t get stuck. It is also a good idea to actually drive it for at least a few hundred feet when you do that so seals experience motion and oil movement.  Off pavement or snow/ice is best for this, but driving wet pavement in a straight line for a  short distance will work if you don’t have other options. I have  forgotten and gone as long as six months between exercising it on my 2021 and it has always shifted promptly.  I usually just use my straight 300 foot gravel driveway.

      Absolutely!  These forums are legion with posts of people complaining that their truck wouldn't go into 4WD when they needed it to.  Most of them hadn't used it ever or in years.   I try to run mine through the paces every month or so and drive it a few miles on a dirt trail near the house a couple times a year if not already off-roading.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      The battery is  very new, The  truck is  essentially undrivable  so I have had it  towed  to the  dealer. Since  this is an E Assist  truck  the dealer  seems  the only option at this point. Scan showes multiple  codes. The  repair wll not be  cheap

      Not a bad idea to check codes. But, if you have an old battery and/or electrical gremlins, most of those codes will be false.
