I was early into the larger size tires on the Chevies and as far as economy goes, we haven't seen any measurable difference in mpg in the about a decade of use of the larger tires.

Oh now I get it, you are talking about the scalloped cut outs, not the number of lug stud holes.


I was referring to the lug stud holes because that is how the wheel manufacturers list them in...

Offset as stated by the manufacturers is totally independent of the kingpin inclination angle of the vehicle and is only related to the wheels themselves. It is the dimension from the centerline of...

Are you referring to the 8 hole steel wheels from Chevy that have the +28 offset?

The AR wheels are normally listed as -6mm for the 7" version with the 3042 load capacity and depending on how the wheel is measured the thick flanges on aluminum wheels can make a 6mm difference...

Yes, there is if you go to 17". Vision has one that is quite nice and at +25mm offset so very close. There also was just mentioned an aluminum Silverado wheel in 17" that has the right offset. It...

That is interesting. I think it was Campskunk who had said that his early Chevy, maybe 2003, had zero offset wheels and not the -6 offset the rest of us since had on the AR wheel. The wheels are...

Very possible. I wonder if the long vans and standard vans were designed together or separate. If GM were smart (which is certainly not for sure) they would pick a midpoint, I would think, but they...

Interesting thought but I thought that scuffing of this sort was more related to bad ackerman caused in the front by the offset change to scrub radius. I know wheelbase can influence turning...

The AR wheels hang out almost 1 3/8" further than the stock wheels, so inside rubs won't happen. But because of the larger negative offset, the swing of the wheel around the balljoint is much larger...

In a nutshell, backspace should really only be used as a comparison so you can get a rough idea off your current setup by looking to see if you have the extra space needed, IMO.

Correct on the speedo, and the Chevy garage cannot reprogram that tire size as it is not in their optional tire list. You can get it done at a speed tuning shop or sport truck tuning place and would...
