So sometime in Febuary I will be purchasing new wheels & tires. I have 3.55 gears, Im looking to either purchase the stock 20" inch wheels with AT tires or purchase 17' inch wheels with bigger tires. Now my question is should I change my gears or should I be fine running the same gears? I am a little worried about gas but not to much since I don't commute far.
man 3:55 are gonna suck if you go to big a tire! The rim size is personal preference, if you do any serious off roading then the 17's will be better. If it is for looks then the 20's are fine. If you are going with a 33" tire either way, then the effect of the gears will be the same!
that better be wheel and tires and the tires better be big and brand new!!! I got my twenty's used with about 30k miles on them for 600 bucks! you can get brand new rims and tires for 1200
