I'm thinking of these in 8in & 9in. widths

Anyone done this and what size tires?

Havent done them but they sure are nice. Are those steel wheels?

Mondo · 03-14-2008, 03:54 AM

yep, several styles...
think it would make the truck look a little smaller. 50 series 17 inch tires are pretty much the same height as 60 series 15 inch. I like more subtle changes than the "in your face" stuff... guess that happens when you get older.

Nice choice, I was going to run the same thing for looks and to keep the costs down over billet/aluminum wheels.

To edit, looking at the website the 17 inch wheels are over $200 each so no too inexpensive afterall I guess

I got 16 inch steel wheels... it is a big jump from 16 to 17.

I done them in a 16. The off set is not right. If you look at the truck from the back you can almost see the center cap. From the side they look like 7in wide rallys. Thats just my thoughts.
