Re: Help. I have a lug problem

Wow! you guys are awesome! It looks like I'll be swapping to 6-lug discs in the front.

I now have to decide the best wheel and tire combo for my fairly limited budget. I have an old set of 15x8 outlaw IIs that have been on the truck forever, but I really wanted to reduce the sidewall a bit to increase the performance.

What is considered the ideal wheel size for handling? I'm aware that reducing sidewall profile reduces sidewall flex and heavier wheel/tire combos increase unsprung and rotational weight. But what's the best balance for a street truck? I know that's a very open ended question, and I doubt the truck will ever see an autocross track with it's SM465 dump truck transmission. I just want something a little better than stock.
