wristpin Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Looks good. Did you need to lift it any for the 285's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetsh Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 That looks mean as hell now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 no i didn't i can fit up to a 33 without a lift tho it would rub just slightly(not enough to catch or snag) on the inner fender well plastic that was partly why i stayed with the 285. that and towing the more weight with the wheels and tires and all that jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carwhore Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Looks good. I like the rockstars, except the center cap isnt flush. Looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wristpin Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yeah that's what I thought. I have a Tahoe and have been thinking about lifting it for 33's or 35's, but it tows well and still fits in the garage for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydrant Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Looks good. Not a huge fan of black rims on cars, but on SUV's and trucks they look killer.What were the old shoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydrant Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 old ones were stock 16's with Bf goodrich Rugged terrains i will be keeping them for the winter as they are really only 8-9 months oldGotcha.I was hoping for a set of new OEM 18's or 20's. I've been looking at Escalade or Burban / Yukon rims, but for the price people are asking for OEM used rims, I might as well go with aftermarket new.

TwiztedRabbit Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 ^ agreed.. yeah i have had quite a few offers on my stock 16's with the tires.. i just cant hardly justify selling them with the tires basically brand new...(that and im using one of the stockers as my spare under the truck ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Gotcha.I was hoping for a set of new OEM 18's or 20's. I've been looking at Escalade or Burban / Yukon rims, but for the price people are asking for OEM used rims, I might as well go with aftermarket new.I got my Z-71 rims for $250 w/good tires that I mounted on my old rims and sold them for $250. Had them PC'd and got new tires for them. Nice rims and tires for less than a set of aftermarket rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiztedRabbit Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 thanks everyone. unfortunantly ive been having issues from day one with them... their is a nasty vibration feels like it is not balanced correctly.. i have had them rebalanced 3 times the first 2 times they even stated the balance was wrong. haha now i still have it tho it is better than before. we are now waiting on 2 new tires to see if they are the issue. 1. yes the wheels are straight and true.2. no its not the aggressive tread pattern i never had that issue with the more aggressive mud terrains3. no i dont need an alignment it was done the weekbefore all the steering links were checked during.. suggestions?

madcat6183 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 FYI, those are pretty soft sidewall tires, that could be leading to some of the vibration. It also could just be the steering needs a dampener now. I run a dual steering dampner due to my 35s, and trust me, I can't imagine without it. Maybe check into one of those, usually pretty easy and quick to install. I think you could do it in your drive if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) ^ i thought about this but i didnt go any larger than the stock height on the tires.. the only thing that changed was the width 265 to a 285... so i dont get it..and its not just the steering wheel its the whole truck.. meaning theresa can feel it in the passenger seat Edited March 5, 2012 by TwiztedRabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacchus Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 New wheel/tire combo heavier than stock? I'm thinking the stabilizer might be the way to go. There used to be a shop downtown that had the capability to balance the tires on the vehicle. Also an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 that is an idea... the weight differance is almost 20 lbs total each being 5lbs more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
