haha we outta change what it says under perry's name and make it PERRY, The 'lil shoulder Fairy lol,



But yeah, Street or off road? If you want street, i would reccomend something like a 17X8/17X9 if you are going with offroad i would reccomed a 15x8/15x10 depending on what lift you go with and what sized tires you want, let us know your plans and we will give you our input

thanks, kontrol-trak

mine are 17x8 with a 0 offset. woody, overall, the biggest you can go with, with no lift on your truck, is a 31x10.50 (sometimes you can fit a 31x11.50, but dont plan on it; it varies truck to truck.) so, whether you want street or off road style, overall height of the tire cant be more than 31". as far as width, i mean, this all depends on offset/backspacing. since i have a pretty aggressive offset, i was able to fit an 11.25" wide tire on my truck with no rubbing at all - my tires are 285 60 r17. so you have a lot of options, but somewhere along the line, youre gonna need the tire calculator for unit conversions, so check out the one at www.4lo.com (theres a menu across the top of the page); this thing was my best friend for a lil while before i got my rims. oh, i should also mention that if you plan to drop your truck, youre gonna have to go with tires that are a lil smaller, unless you want lots of tire rub, heh.

good luck, if you have anymore questions, id be glad to help, and theres lots of other guys floating around that know a lot about this, too, after all, who do you think helped me?
