Well, they're going on one way or another, lol, I'll just have to decide which will work better... but I'll need to get a set of summer tires to go with it... the winter tires I want are 30s (29.3") and the summers are also 30s (29.2")

$1500 or so worth of tire right there, lol, plus the speedo calibration... whatever they charge for that...

You can change your speedo yourself if you have a Hypertech Power Programmer III...........

It's in the mail lol

Unfortunately, no money for tires for awhile... But at least I get a little more oomph!

I have a GPS unit, and with my 30" tires I am off by under 1mph. So if you don't want to have it reprogramed you don't have to. But DRPerry I think a different color on those rims would look real good ( they are gold, right?). Korey

They're more silver... just a little on the dirty side... At least, they look silver-ish, lol

And, I occasionally use my truck for work, so an accurate speedometer and odometer is and absolute requirement... But now that I've got me a Hypertech programmer, I'm not worried about it anymore!

I'd argue the fact thats its not always about looks, sometimes its function

Not to mention I know how canadian winters kick ur trucks butt.

I'd rock em for sure if I had a nicer set i didnt wanna mess up.

Yeah, something like 1% difference or something like that, I can't remember the exact number...
