no i have not got speed o recalibrated , i saw some where it's only off 2mph slower at 60mph. i was running 265/65/17 which were 30 5/8" tall, my 275/45/20 are 29 3/4"tall. i wish i would have gotten a tire a little taller. to match the factory hight. to me these look a little small, but it's to late now.

thanks tuffone , the lights behind my grill are hella halo 3 1/2" driving light running 55 watt bulbs. these are on a relay that is triggered off of the highbeams so they come on with them. i did this because our highbeams suck. with these it really lights up the road. i also have my fog lights come on with the highbeams to help light up the sides of the road to help me watch for DEER they are bad here in GA. here'sa pictures from the front , the second is the lights and the mounts if you can see i painted the outer edge to cover up the halo part and it kind of goes with the black nightrunner headlights.

Default RE: rim question

you are right sir . it is a chrome street scene grill . mounted behind the grill shell (not with those stupid clips they send)

the driving light are not hard at all , wires up like a regular switch and relay set up , just find the hot wire when the highs are on and tap in. use this as your trigger wire to switch the relay on with the highbeams. or you could run the trigger wire to a switch then you could control whether the driving lights come on with the highs or not.
