Padodgeram, It just says that when you hit the reply button. When most people are replying to someone they quote the person or start their post with the persons name. Even if I was replying to you, I said nothing confrontational so you need to learn to handle what people say better.

Edit: I hit the fast reply button at the very bottom of the page this time and it still says your name.

evolve, check the sticker inside your drivers door and it should list your original factory sizes. (it doesn't really matter but its just nice to know). i think your 97 had 15's. you can go with bigger/smaller wheels or tires up to a size limit of about 32-33 inches tall (wheel + tire), however it will cause your speedometer and odometer to be off. you can correct that in a couple of ways depending on whether your speedo is electronic or gear driven. if you are considering aftermarket wheels be sure of your bolt pattern and BACKSPACING. do a search here for backspacing - this is very important as it controls whether you get rubbing or not and whether or not your wheels STICK OUT and look silly.

On top of all your indignation that someone had the audacity to post an answer to a question that you had already responded to ... you didn't correctly answer the question. These trucks come with 16" rims ... installing a 15" rim CAN cause problems because they are SMALLER and rub on the brake caliper on some trucks. Evolve didn't ask if he could run 16" ... he asked if he could run 15".
