RE: New Tires
This is certainly something worth looking into. The Bridgestone-Firestone website lists only 15" wheel sizes:

And Tire Rack only lists 15" wheel sizes:

I do believe that website I listed (the indy500tire.com website) is outdated, and not all of those sizes are produced anymore. But absolutely check. Yes, I believe you'd be able to use a P255/70R16. It would be slightly taller than your current tires...about an inch total.
Here are some pics of mine on the truck that I promised long ago.

RE: New Tires
Looks much better without the lift
Scandal I am almost done, my parents are still building there house so when i go to paint i end up helping so it takes awhile. I have takin a lot of pics and will post them and if im motivated ill do a little write up aswell. I popped the wheel weights off to paint the rims. Im hoping the shop can mount them on the inside lip only but ill let you know when i get the painting done and get my tires swapped

RE: New Tires
Jason---do you have any idea how much the OE wheels weigh vs. a nascar style black steel wheel? i saw a truck with some of those nascar style wheels on it a few days ago and it looks pretty nice. they are pretty reasonably priced new too, around 40-50 bucks. if they weigh close to the same i am thinking about getting some. plus, i am trying to make all my trim black anyway...about all i need to do is locate some factory decals in black, like the "dakota sport" ones on the doors and the "dodge" and "4x4" ones on the tailgate.
