Re: Rally Wheels

Tires really all depend on what stance your looking for. First you need to consider which direction you want to go with your truck... (leave it stock height, lower, or lift it). Once you decide what look your going after then you can buy tires, and parts accordingly, and save yourself some money down the road.

Re: Rally Wheels

Ya another vote for 275/60/15 think they look pretty much the best all the way around.

Re: Rally Wheels

Don't mean to highjack, but what is the best way to do a 4/6? I have a Sierra Classic stepper with a 350.

Re: Rally Wheels

If you plan on lowering the truck 275/60's will work for the rear but will rub up front, go with a 245/60 instead

I have a 2.5-4 drop on one and a 3-5 drop on another with the 275-60's on 8" wheels with no rub issues at all.
