dont like the teardrop holes in the first one, people downsize to the 17's cause they are too cheap to buy nice A/T in a 20. (yes i still have stock 30k, will buy a/t at 40k when tread is low)

tires will make your truck look a lot better than wheels, you could have thos ugly bubly wheels from dodge
i have what you have but not in chrome, i wouldnt buy chrome becuase i would chip the hell out of it and i take it to the beach a lot.

Oh yeah, that's mainly why I got my tuner.... I'm dialed in now and can actually know my mpg's... even though I don't want to.... I just didn't want to risk tickets. Out my way you can get away with 9 1/2mph over but not 10

Nothing to do with cheap for me, its practical.... 10 acres in the mountains 20" wheels would be scratched up in 5 minutes....

I liked my 20s, but4x4's have always looked better with a smaller rim and meaty tires as far as I am concerned. If I could put 15s on mine with big rubber I would. 17 is as small as you can go without major changes.

This is the 4x4 look I like.

In case you were wondering, this was a stunt truck from The Fall Guy.

Oh yea, like the rim, you will probably need flares with the 315s and 10" rims.

That's a sweet setup....
