Looks awesome, just out of curiosity what all did you have to trim to make them fit?

I had to trim the rear front tire plastic and metal right next to the fender and then the fog light bracket.

Haha thanks Jeremy. Good mileage makes me love the truck that much more. I should have never started with a duramax because I was spoiled with the 20+ mpg hwy I was getting.

Geez seeing how I could barely turn the wheel. I can only imagine how bad yours rubbed. Did you drive it like that?

What did it rub on? Would less offset help?

Yes less offset would help. It would rub on the fender flairs in the back and with no leveling kit possibly the front bumper brackets. Also after it gets pas the fender flairs on it will hit a little of the pinch weld most likely and then the inner fender. I had to trim just a little bit to clear mine with a 2.5" level

What width were your 35" toyo?
I'm sure a tad narrower tire would help as well.

I'm looking around now for some 20x10 wheels with a -25 offset and I might step it down on the tire size to prevent rubbing

mine rubbed on the front drivers bumper bracket horribly, passenger side didnt rub it, and then a little of the pinch weld and my fender flares some, of course te inner fender well rubbed but zip ties to pull them back fixed the issue. i drove like this for maybe a week and i cut up the outer part of the tire pretty good, i put on a 2.5" leveling kit after a week(due to work schedule) it still rubbed the front bumper bracket so thats when i just screw it and threw on a 6" lift

did you paint the chrome on your grille or did you get a PTM grille and put the chrome inserts in it?

colecoop56 · Jan 2, 2015

I painted the Chrome

It looks great! What did you do as far as prepping the chrome to paint it?

Nice!

How long have you had your stuff painted? Wondering how durable it is.

colecoop56 · Jan 5, 2015

I have had it painted for a year and a half. It has a few very very small paint chips from all the highway driving I do but It still looks great. I do not know what they did to prep the grill surround before they painted it. I took it to a shop.
