Re: need some help please

What do you have on there now? I'm actually in the mood for some pizza cutters - tall and thin! Since I can't lay my hands on some 16" for some sweet 245/75R16, I'm probably gonna settle for a set of used 235/75R15s instead.

If you're looking for some tall and thick ones, look into 265/75R15. They're pretty much the same as the 31/10.50R15 that some others go with. Monster truck-ish, but not too gaudy. And readily available in the 15s!

I'm riding stock height too. PO lowered it and stuck some 215/70R15s on there. Suffice to say I feel quite ridiculous.

Here is mine stock height truck with 255/70 15's on 15 x 8 rallys on all 4 corners. The 255's are 3/4 inch wider than the 235's and only .18 inch taller and they really fill in the wheel wells nice.
