Looks nice, for a Street Ride...
Just hope the City where you live is VERY diligent on filling potholes, so you don't bend a rim or break a kidney !!

Me, I prefer a truck that looks like a Truck !! Something that is ready to "drag things up a mountain"... (Or at least venture past where the quality asphalt ends...)

 

Yup. One of the main reasons I bought my truck is so that I could jump the curb and get into the right or left hand turn lanes and not sit behind all of the people waiting to go straight. I do it once each morning and twice each afternoon on the way home. It was one of the reasons I chose to get rid of the Vette.

 

Im in west los angeles the pavement never ends lol.... kinda hard to go drag things up a mountain here..

not to many pot holes either... if people were jacking up their Ferraris here some politition would be fired quik

 

Were you running 20s before?

**Edit, nevermind, you were since it is a Laramie.

Not sure why your MPGs would have went down with these. Same diameter with basically the same rubber contacting the road. Only thing that could have done it would have been overall weight of the wheel tire combo.

 

yes i was... stock 20s

 

The weight of the wheels rotating also factors into gas mileage. It takes more force to get them going when compared to the 20's.

Think of a 1lb weight on a 1ft lever. Imagine holding it with one hand. Now try 1lb on a 2ft lever. It will be harder to hold the same weight on a 2ft lever. Hence, it will also require more force to spin it.

 

right sarguy...

i heard it had to do with rotating mass... or something... really technical stuff...

 

yeah all that matters is it looks AWESOME!!

 

ya, i'm betting there's a significant difference in weight but who cares, it looks good!

 

It has to do with size and weight. A guy on the corvette forums stated once that 1 lb in unsprung mass (on the wheels) was roughly equivalent to 100 lbs of sprung mass (on the vehicle). Corvettes actually come with 18's up front and 19's in back. This is for performance reasons. Do you think a Toyota Venza really needs 19's? No. But it looks good. So it just depends on what you're going for.
