im looking for a set of tires and rims. something that will be good gas milage but also something good for offroading. i have a 1999 dodge 1500 2wd and im getting a 3inch lift for the front and 1.75 for the rear. if yall know any good website where i can get rims and mud tires cheap please let me know. also i dont know what combos to go with so please help thank you

 

maybe if your trying to go cheap go with re tread tires and some m/t rims?

 

You can go up to 33's with a 3 inch lift...... (at least, on the 4x4 ya can...) If you don't object to retreads.... check out TreadWright..... They have a good rep, even for customer service.....

As for wheels, that's gonna depend on what tires you go with. You want a rim that is going to fit the tire..... (width is what I am worried about here...) You might be able to drop down to a 15" rim, which will save you a bit of money on the tires.... I think.... and also have a MUCH larger selection of rims.

Weight, and rolling resistance are what kills gas mileage, so, going to larger tires IS going to have an affect..... you are going to pick up some weight there, no matter what you do, and the larger tires are also going to have more rolling resistance. To offset that, you should change the rear end gearing to compensate. (4.10s would be good....)

 

thanks for the help. if you find a set of rims cheap let me know

 

look on your local craigslist, they are out there.

 

ok ill try keep up with me. add me as friend if you want man

 

Go with A/T's if your worried about mileage, a 285/75/16 or a 285/70/17 will fill the gap nice and wont rub. Cheap rims are out there just google it, your looking for rims with a 5x5.5 lug pattern and try and get around 4" bs it will keep options open and keep from unnessary wear
