I decided to stray away from 22's and stick with 20's as an upgrade and I was looking at this this Wheel, Liquidmetal Turbines 20x8.5, black and polished finish with Falken or Nitto tires. I just wanted some opinions of the wheel on a victory red NBS. Would 275/55/20 tires do the trick or go 295/50/20?? $1,100 shipped from discounttire witht he 295/50 tires..$100 more for the 275/55..Thanks

I think they would look better with the 295s but if you want the taller tire you might want to go with the 275. If you would put those on i think you have to be careful about any other add ons you would put on the truck, such as chrome or black accesories. Lowering the back about two inches would look pretty good as well if your going for that look. Anyway you go, good luck.

Can't agree. I think they are downright ugly. To each his own.

The tire size choice should be based many factors including the width of the wheel and offset, you don't mention the width and offset so it's kinda difficult to make a valid recommendation.

I agree with the guys who say they might be too busy. I've never been a fan of the black/brushed look but these are really busy.

 

They remind me of this:

They are a little "much"...since you asked for opinions.

Ultimately, if you like them go for it though! Good luck with your purchase!

Personaly, I do not care for them at all. Everyone has their on taste, so get them if that's what you like :P

 

 

ditto that! Actually, I'm not a big fan of the larger diameter wheels either, 17" or maybe 18" at most, with the right tires and vehicle.

The certainly make the truck look "inner city"... sort of an ethnic look. If that's what you are after go for it!

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
