i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.

@Brayden Bjorn Instablaster ;)

[@braydenbjorn9953]

@Marco Esteban Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@braydenbjorn9953]

@Marco Esteban It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@marcoesteban1324]

@Brayden Bjorn glad I could help xD

[@plutoniusis]

What is important is that you are happy what you done to your nice Silverado!

[@Myksgarage]

What’s important is that I get millions of views on this video! 😀

[@chrisandersonnd]

I just copied your exact setup on my 2012 Z71. Same exact wheels & leveling kit. Same size tires but I got the Terra Grapplers instead of Trail Grapplers. I trimmed my fenders the same as you did. I saw your truck on silveradosierra forums and loved it right away. Thanks for the tips. I get tons of compliments on the stance of my truck.

[@Myksgarage]

You like them?

[@mudman1996]

Looks sweet! Not lifted up too high and not too low, exactly what it needs

[@Myksgarage]

Exactly

[@JD-lb8np]

Looks badass not overdone not under done. Perfect ratio

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks!

[@mikepriceup]

Dude that is an awesome looking truck. I've got a 2012 silverado with 2@1/2 rough country leveling kit installed with general grabber 33x12.50 20. Truck is the same color with All chrome everywhere. Thanks for the video. This is all I have left to do.

[@Myksgarage]

Nice!

[@bear186]

You only have leveling kit on the front of your truck with 33” tires??? Does it rubb anywhere???

[@areyouready22]

This is one of the nicest looking 07 Chevys I've seen and I'm a Ford man. Nice job brother.

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks, it always amazes me how wheels and tires make a huge difference on the look of a vehicle. I actually have an F-150 right now myself, I keep switching between Chevy and Ford.

[@keithjabs1542]

dude nice video. haters gonna hate, end of the day your video helped people.

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks for watching

[@stevenr6033]

For those of you who are actually about to do this, based on this guy's videos... STOP! If you pay attention, the guy changed to a smaller tire because he was still rubbing in the middle of the turn. I have the exact same setup on the exact same truck and purchased the exact same tire option and I had to do a TON of trimming and cutting (even more than he did) and I'm still rubbing on an incline. I have absolutely no clearance for off-roading. After all that cutting/trimming/ cussing, I decided there's no option but putting a lift kit on the truck.. Cutting your truck this much for a set of 305/55/20s is completely stupid. Trust me, I know. Now I have to clean and re-paint all the metal that I cut on a regular basis and try to fabricate some sort of shield to protect it from mud and rocks.

[@rjw261984]

Steven R i have a 2" leveling kit on a 13 silverado and run 275 65 20s (34" tires) and have no issues while off roading. i would get bigger tires but i really dont want to do a 6"lift.

[@stevenr6033]

Congratulations, but my comment was regarding a 305 tire, which is wider.

[@rjw261984]

Steven R i understand that, i wrote my comment so other people could see an option for a larger tire without having to cut and trim or having to go with a large lift.

[@rjw261984]

[@Myksgarage]

It’s not that bad

[@rodrigocoimbra72]

I have a 2010. Looks exactly the same. Just saw this video and now I’m getting 35’s

[@Myksgarage]

Sweet! What kind of a lift are you putting on?

[@rodrigocoimbra72]

@@Myksgarage 2.5 leveling kit. I started to really trim a lot of it so it won’t rub.

[@Myksgarage]

How did it turn out?

[@deltazulu89]

Awesome was thinking of cutting that metal piece off of my truck to stop the rubbing but wasn't sure it it would work. Guess I'll give it a try

[@Myksgarage]

👍

[@andrewbrister7200]

I solved all my problems to rubbing. 7.5 suspension 3 inch body. Just bought some 20x12 -44 off set fuel mavericks. On 37x13.50r20. I think ima have to trim now

[@Myksgarage]

Now that’s a lift!

[@MegaEggdude]

i have an 07 gmc sierra want to put on the same setup but the dealer keeps telling me i'm going to need fender flares to do it. doesnt look like they stick out that bad but that could just be the way they look on video. its illegal to have them stick out too far have you had any problems?

[@Myksgarage]

I don’t think you need flares

[@Forum4life07]

going to get 295/70R17 nittos tomorrow on my sierra leveled 2.5" itll be tight but cant wait

[@artperez6973]

Joseph Foster wat do u mean mexican?

[@Myksgarage]

Sounds nice!

[@Sam_DaMan]

cool truck looks great, i put some 17x8.5 -0- offset method race wheels on 33x12.50 general grabbers on my '09 silverado. 2.5" leveling kit and didnt have to do any cutting thank god.

[@Myksgarage]

Nice!

[@Myksgarage]

I have not noticed any of that yet, but I have tried to keep them cleaned up in the winter because pitting can easily occur if you dont. I am actually considering a black set for the winter for this very reason.

[@aaronpodgorski1617]

I have a 2010silverado 1500 with a rough country strut leveling kit an I want to run 18x10 neg 24s. What tire size will work without trimming?

[@Myksgarage]

Not sure

[@mrichrich-nr8id]

hit this link and put in your truck info and then see what everyone else is riding on.. www.customwheeloffset.com/search-wheel-offset-gallery

[@turner111971]

Great look! What do guys think about 305/70R18's on a 2004 Z71 with the 2" lift and level? Would I have an issue with scrubbing at all? Thanks!

[@Myksgarage]

Might be a tight fit

[@Myksgarage]

Rough Country 2" Level Kit (the bottom strut spacer style) Its only $65 and I installed it myself, it is fairly easy to do.

[@ChuckBeefOG]

I fit a 33" mt with a levelling kit. Got a +18 to save paint and rub. No fender cutting required.

[@twotoneronniek]

I just got 33s on 20" rims on my 07 2500hd and they are rubbing what is +18? I need a quick fix cheap

[@ChuckBeefOG]

+18 is the offset of the wheel. This is a very important factor when choosing a wheel/tire combo. Google wheel offset explained, and find out where the tire is rubbing, upper control arm and sway bar, or bumper/fender. If I know your offset and full tire specs I can probably help.

[@twotoneronniek]

Rubbing plastics in wheel well at about 50% turn. Not front only the rear front plastics

[@ChuckBeefOG]

Sounds like you need to push the wheel out away from the truck. You can get wheel spacers at any rim/tire shop for fairly cheap that will get the tire out more to give it more clearance to turn. I would also suggest a front only leveling kit. 2.75" if they make one for the 2500. If not you can always turn up your torsion keys a bit to lift the front end. Check into wheel spacers first though.

[@ChuckBeefOG]

gm-trucks.com is a great source and will have plenty of threads of the same question.

[@TheBobby1bobby1]

i had a 2002 gmc yukon with 150,000 miles on it until i traded it in last year and it ran fine

[@Myksgarage]

They are good trucks!

[@darthvader8452]

what brand are those seat covers???

[@Myksgarage]

Clazzio

[@timhill7013]

I have an 09 Silverado with a 2.5 inch leveling kit, looking at some 20x9 wheels with -12 offset and tire size of 285/50/20. Any idea if these will rub?

[@diesel85idi]

Rub like crazy. I have 285/55/20 with 9.5 wheels with -6 offset. They rub and I had to trim the plastic just like this guy did

[@Myksgarage]

Yes it will rub, stay with a positive offset

[@datchikob21]

I have a 2008 silverado 1500 extended cab, and I'm thinking of putting 20inch factory runs. Do you think this can ruin the truck or if I would have to cut anything?

[@Myksgarage]

No, just keep the same tires size as factory which is a 275/55/20

[@williamwilson2975]

I have the same truck and want to put that tire on there also. How bad did your gas mileage go down. Also how long does the tread last on these tires? Thanks

[@Myksgarage]

It dropped about 20%

[@danielochoa3846]

I was thinking about purchasing 33x12.5r20 offset +18mm for my silverado. I installed the 2.5 leveling kit would they rub? Would i need to cut it?

[@picazoevo]

Yeah bro mine rub I got toyo open country 33x12.5 and 20 inch fuel rims 20x9 and they rub

[@Myksgarage]

It’ll be close but should work

[@bigshonatl]

Great looking truck, when will u put up a vid of it with the new rims and tires I like those better? Plus did they rub

[@Myksgarage]

New ones didn’t rub

[@383driver]

Do you think the 305/55R20 BFG'S would fit without trimming on a stock set of 20's

[@Myksgarage]

Depends on the wheel offset.

[@TheJohnVader]

Gorgeous rims and tires, man!

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks

[@MosleyOutdoors]

Thanks for posting, in the same situation with my 07 superduty. Big investment wheels and tires and I want it to look good! I'll keep researching till i get it figured out, your vid helped. Nice lookin truck!

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks

[@mustangshelby4423]

awesome truck love those wheels and tires

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks, glad you like it

[@bigalforsyth]

Do you think the fitment (specifically the front) would be the same for your truck as a suburban or Tahoe same year? I'm planning to do the same thing to my suburban w/ leveling kit and want 0 offset wheels as well.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah should be the same for a Tahoe/suburban

[@robertsiegrist8755]

this is great video so i have idea of what size tire i needed with my 3.5 inch lift

[@Myksgarage]

👍

[@Myksgarage]

They were like $350 from a seller on eBay. If your looking for some, just search for clazzio seat covers on eBay. They make a huge difference and are extremely comfortable

[@TheKaczor]

Great video, do you think if I do a 2.5 level kit, will still rub with this setup?

[@6.6chevay13]

Most likley, I have a 3" 1:2 ratio spacer and I'm on 20" rockstar with same size tires they still rub a little

[@Myksgarage]

It still might be close

[@386mgar]

If you don't mind me asking how much you pay for your truck want to get one

[@Myksgarage]

It was like $21,000 used in 2011

[@Havok-dz4oz]

Thank u

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks for watching

[@Myksgarage]

I actually just switched to a +18 and it works out better, I agree

whats the tallest tire i can put on a 1500 sierra with no lift, just leveled? i want a tire to fill in the fender gap. and am keeping my factory wheels

[@bobbyjustin8691]

dave jackson I have a 2012 no lift , 20’ wheel and 33” tires I have a little run on the turns , but it fine .. can send pics if needed

[@davejackson3869]

my nittos are bad in the rain. when i takeoff from redlight it spins. does yours?

[@Myksgarage]

I’d say 33”

[@seabass22]

I got some 18 inch rims came on my 2010 z71. Same truck. I'm judging the tires probably got around 20% left and I'll need some around tax season.

[@Myksgarage]

👍

[@tanner3181]

Did you notice much noise with these tires driving city or highway?

[@Myksgarage]

Yes, lots of noise

[@willbridge7022]

Why is the sidewall smaller than the other trail grapplers like the normal ones are longer the sidewall on these they are shorter. Somebody answer cuz I'm buying some of these tires soon and I want the long sidewall and just an FYI I'm getting Lt295/70R18

[@krsiten02]

Will Bridge He has 20" rims, your 18" rims will have a larger tire sidewall.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah depends on wheel diameter

[@Myksgarage]

@714BroDGAF The seat heaters were like $85 on ebay, that was for both front seats. It was pretty easy to install, only difficult part was the wiring. I ended up using a relay and that worked great.

[@gregarzate2420]

How much and where did you get those seat covers. They look nice. I have leathr myself but if I can protect it it wouldn't be a bad idea. Thanks

[@Myksgarage]

Just found them in Ebay

[@beri232]

Good looking rig bud! Have you noticed any pitting/rusting/dulling on the rims? I want the shiny ones as well but I think the black will hold up to the elements a bit better. I live in Canada and they salt the roads in winter.

[@Myksgarage]

Yes, some putting has occurred

[@bear186]

I have 2010 silver 4wd, I have black rims with light silver accent 20” wheels… I’m looking to put some more aggressive tires on them..

[@xGaming4Life94x]

hows the road noise on the trail grapplers?

[@Myksgarage]

It’s bad

[@mikepriceup]

Chrome putco door handles would look great on there

[@Myksgarage]

Oh yeah!

[@kodydupre8900]

awesome set up man. I have a 2011 Sierra 1500 4x4 midnight blue. Little over a year old so stock tires are still good. I plan on getting these nittos when Im ready to buy. Leather covers look bad ass too.

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks for watching

[@PrettyTubs]

Dude, take the door protectors off and you won't be disappointed. I took mine off and put the Z71 badge under the silverado lettering. What a big difference

[@Myksgarage]

Good suggestion! Thanks for watching!

[@lukiss01]

very nice truck man....i think the rubber on the drivers side is backwards?

[@Myksgarage]

🤷

[@williambailey9917]

thanks bud this is exactly what ive been wondering about

[@Myksgarage]

👍

[@victorortega2718]

Good looking set up man, I wanted to get 20×10 the ballistic rage wheels I dont think they make them with 0 offset I think they start at -19 offset on 33×12 on my 2" leveling kit I have a 2014 Silverado 1500, I wanted to ask you how much would that stick my on the side of my truck and do you think it will rubb?

[@Myksgarage]

Victor Ortega yes I think it will rub badly.

[@sokodad]

They must be the MT judging from tread?

[@Myksgarage]

Yes they are

[@Riddick_4506]

Nice truck!!!! Jus bought a 2012 Z71 and gettin ready to put a 6 inch lift and was lookin for wheelz and tires but so hard to pick an offset when u dont know what it will look like, so you jus sold me on the rims and tires...im gonna get the black and chrome goliaths and trail grappler 35s...u dont know how much u helped by posting offset!!!! Beautiful truck and thanks again!!!!

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks for watching

[@donnieglenn8080]

love the truck

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks dude!

[@Myksgarage]

Depends on the lift. That size tire is 34.57 inches tall in diameter. The 305/55/20s I have on there are a 33.39" in diameter, so they are over 1 inch taller. You would need probably at least a 3.5 to 4" lift to clear that tire and probably some trimming.

[@jonsatvoutdoorchannel6686]

I have pretty much the exact same truck. 2007 white GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 20 inch rims that came with it etc... These are the tires i'm hoping to get in the next 2 weeks but i've been told I need a lift for them to fit... which i don't mind at all because I want them to fit comfortably and I don't mind having more clearance and sitting a little higher... I actually have a leveling kit on it now but they are telling me it would rub very badly if they'd fit at all (without the lift)... so I'm going to get the leveling kit removed and put a rough country 3 and a half inch lift on it then put 33 inch trail grapplers on mine. Did you have to lift it at all? Looks like you just cut as you said in the video.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah I just cut it and it worked out well

[@norWISequipment]

hey man, seen your pickup on silveradosierra, sweet setup just wondering did they rub when you had the bfg all terrains on them? and was the fuel economy better with the a/t's

[@Myksgarage]

Yes better fuel economy with the all terrain tires

[@jamesbennington2969]

Very nice truck. great video. good information.

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks for watching

Thanks, the tires are awesome you will love them!

[@Truth-prevails831]

Looks good, however I have the same truck and do believe the color looks better with black wheels hahaha..I'm running 285/70/17 falken at3w with a 3" level, aftermarket control arms/ball joints, suspension,diff drop etc. make a huge difference

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah black does look good. Thanks for watching

[@carsonturner1]

Did you have to get spacers cause of the 305mm tires?

[@Myksgarage]

No I didn't have to get spacers, they would have rubbed even more

[@18clayton]

So your fitting 35's with a leveling kit correct

[@Myksgarage]

No they are 33"

[@Cha2kDrAwn]

Where did you get the badass seat covers and how much. My truck is kinda like yours.

[@Myksgarage]

Seat covers were like $380 on eBay, made by clazzio

[@scottie610]

Did you say you got the wheels & tires for $900??? Where??? I was looking at the same set up. Thanks!

[@Myksgarage]

On a local classified page

[@Myksgarage]

It is more noticable that the stock 17" highway tires that were on it, but the look of the truck makes up for additional road noise.

[@chriswalker5332]

I have an 07 Chevy Avalanche and put the 18" Rockstar rims w 0 offset with 285/65/18 Nitto's. It is killing the front inside of the wheel well. I don't understand why yours are not hitting at all in the front? Almost the same set up.

[@Myksgarage]

Do you have it leveled?

[@dconner50]

GM has yet to discover that round tires don't fit in square fenders

[@lrgoose]

so true!!! but the new GMC and Chevy's look good. Especially in that midnight blue!

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah, Ford has it figured out!

[@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit]

dconner50 I mean they obviously do, just not as well hence why they’re the most lifted vehicle on the market

[@donnieglenn8080]

are these tires good for snow

[@Myksgarage]

Not bad in snow, very bad in ice

[@Myksgarage]

It won’t work

[@miguelpenagos8174]

What happens with that inch of clearance when you've got an obstacle in your path and you happen to be turning?

[@Rmz250ryder]

im looking to run a 20x9 with a +18 offset with 295/55r20 (trail grapplers) do you think id have any rub with my 2.5 leveling kit?

[@Sam_DaMan]

not with +18 offset, and the tires arent that big either plus the 2.5' kit is enough. so no, i dont think they would rub

[@Rmz250ryder]

sam acosta Thanks for the reply, I went with a +20 offset. they ended up rubbing. i did the small norcal fender mod and it doesnt rub anymore.

[@Sam_DaMan]

Rmz250ryder upload a video of your truck bro, lets see it

[@Myksgarage]

Those should work just fine

[@letterphase]

How wide are they? Are 12.5". Are they about 33s?

[@Myksgarage]

Yes the are 12.5” wide

[@Myksgarage]

There was no rubbing at all with the BFG tires I have on now. The fuel economy is much better with the AT tires vs. the M/T tires.

[@jet0577]

I have the same size tire and a 2.5 level in the front I'm guessing mine will clear since it is a tad higher?? Anyone know what a "tad" is anyway???

[@Myksgarage]

Yes

[@Myksgarage]

Probably not, the level kit might void the warranty on the front suspension components, if any thing

[@Myksgarage]

I am glad this was helpful. I was in the same position when looking for wheels and tires. Its tough to know what they will look like, I never saw this set up on a truck, I just got lucky.

[@Myksgarage]

Yes that is a slight concern, but it really wasnt that bad, you could even add fender flares that would help reduce that

[@Chilinoploppy]

Truck looks good mang

[@Myksgarage]

Thanks brother!

Would that size rim and tire fit ok on an 08 2500hd z71 stock suspension?

Truck looks great. Love the rims where did you get them from? What brand? I got a 2011 red silverado I was going to get black rims, but after your video I just changed my mind.

[@Myksgarage]

They are made by Ultra Motorsports and these wheels are the “Goliath” model. I picked them up off of the local classifieds, they were used.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah, those should fit, just depends on the wheel specs

[@Myksgarage]

No spacers in the front. Wheels are bolted up directly to the rotor. They are a 20x9 with a 0 offset.

[@tuck2009]

Looks great man. I've been deciding forever between the Toyo Open Country M/Ts and the Trail Grapplers. Think I'm gonna go with the Trail Grapplers after watching this.
