Re: Just starting

well since it is a 4x4 im assuming with those wheels and the external tire carrier...i would run some vette wheels maybe a 17x9.5 ZR1 with 285/40 all the way around which is shorter than the stock tire size by a lot...or you could try 18x8.5 and 18x10.5 c6 z06 wheels from finishlinewheels.com and run a 245/40 and 285/40 which would leave the sidewalls almost perfectly straight or a tad stretched outward..kinda depends on your tire fitment preference, if you are ok with a shorter tire id do the 18in wheels with 255/40 and 295/35 on the 8.5 and 10.5in wheel..that would look slick

Re: Just starting

i realize his rubbing... and so am i .. but its not that big of a deal. just remove the inner wheel well bolts directly above the tire.. one on each side.. then it wont sound as bad lol
