Trying to make a decision on some wheels and not sure what size I really want.I love the huge tire look if that helps :P

 

Trying to decide between 17's,18's,or 20's.

 

These are the 3 I'm considering...

I actually think some black 18" HELO MAXX 6's would look GREAT on your truck. Have you looked at them?

Almost any wheel with most black and a little silver should look good on there.

Doesn't matter what kind you put on if they are solid black. Just gonna get lost in all that blackness. You need at least a polished lip.

 

Those look like the factory 18s right? I'd probably stick with 18 inch...(and use the tires) unless you wanna do 20s for the look.

Yes they are the factory 18's.

 

I'm thinking these wheels now in a 17x8.5 with 285/70/17 Toyo Open Country A/T's

I vote for your 3rd choice in black. I like those wheels.

 

 

Or if your staying with the stockers get them powder coated black. Did I mention I like black wheels...LOL

 

I'm going with A/R Mojave Teflon's.

 

Heres some pics of what your truck would kinda look like with the 3rd choice in black.

Or should I just put some 285's on the stockers and call it a day?

 

 

wont fit on the 18's that are on that now....I have the same rim and tire 265\65\18 and with the gm mud guards on there....lets just say not to much room to put bigger side walls on.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
