LETHL_SS Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) I've searched all over but haven't found what I'm looking for. I'm looking to get some new wheels and really like the GM CK370 model for the newer trucks. I'll be lowering the truck 2/2 soon but not sure if the backspace will work from the newer trucks. From what I've found, I believe the CK370's have a +31 offset and many threads on here go back and forth about +20 or +30 is what people have on their trucks. Would these sit right or should I look for a different offset wheel? Thanks in advance.

chawkins6789 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 It all just depends on the setup. The stock SS wheels are a +22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETHL_SS Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 It all just depends on the setup. The stock SS wheels are a +22 Thanks, I pretty much deduced it down to that based on all the other threads but wasn't able to see a pattern on what works with the +30 and what doesn't.

chawkins6789 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I have seen people run near a +30 on 22×9.5 and 22x10's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETHL_SS Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well I was finally able to dig up these two pictures of a truck with NNBS wheels. I don't need to tuck so it looks like the +30 offset isnt what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETHL_SS Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) I think I have it narrowed down to two similar wheels. The OEM GM CK370 20X8.5 with +31 offset (would get the bowtie cap) Or Enkei M6 20X9 with either +20 or +30 offset. I'm quite surprised I like a wheel from Enkei but think it'd look great with my truck since I don't have a lot of chrome and the silver accents would match the OEM SS emblems pretty well. I'd also be able to put a meatier 305/50/20 on this rim. Here's is my truck as it sits now with some American Racing 20X8.5's. I don't remember the model name off hand but want something more simple.

Blown 346 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 just remember to polish them often. Otherwise they will start to pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayldss Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Pretty sure those are the same dealer-optioned wheels I have on my SSS and I have the Chevy center cap Blown 346 is right, they'll pit if not polished often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes those are them! Are ya'll saying the chrome needs to be polished to prevent pitting? The Enkei's are clear coated which would help those looking nice.

SSmoothSilSS Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 See what warranty is on the chrome before you buy, most only have a year, clear coat would help it last longer, but my Boss wheels started to pit after 1 1/2 (no clearcoat) and I keep a good waxing on them. So i sold them before they got to bad, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i sold them before they got to bad, The warranty on the OEM GM wheels is one year as well. Might just stick with the Enkei's since they're polished with a clear coat to not worry about pitting as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayldss Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I can still get a real good shine when I polish mine but they are pitted in spots and the inside is flaking out. They were on the truck when I bought it and not in perfect condition so I use them as my winter rims and keep my black reps out of the sand and salt. Good maintenance and cleaning from the get-go would be the best with any chrome wheel to help avoid any fugly stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the best luck with factory GM chrome wheels vice cheaper aftermarket so I decided to give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
