    Looking at new tires and wheels after I get an Icon Stage 1 installed. These may not be my final options, but what are the pros/cons of different wheel sizes?

    I can get five 15X8 wheels and tires for $1625:
    Procomp 7069 rims @ $98/each
    BFG TAKO 33X12.5X8 @ $227/each

    Or I can get five 16X8 wheels and tires for $1940:
    Procom 7069 rims @ $109/each
    BFG TAKO 285/75/R16 @ $279/each

    The 15's are cheap enough to make me go with them, I like the small rim/big tire look. What other factors are involved though?

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I don't think 15 inch rims will fit over the brakes.

    Stacked spacer lift, 22x12 wheels with stretched 33's, tow mirrors, bull nuts.
    15" wheels won't fit the 2nd gen brakes. You can get 285/75/16 tires that perform better than the BFG's for cheaper.
