    Looking for some new wheels/tires. Looking for a 32.5 tire. Looks like you can't get there in a 17 without going to 285, while you can do it with an 18 at 265/70/18. I like the idea of keeping it at a 265. Problem is I would love to have a wheel like the SCS stealth as I've seen on here, anybody know of an 18 that is similar to the Stealth? I'm thinking for mpg's and power loss the 265's would be best or is it not that big of a difference? Cheers

    Yes, for a 3rd gen.
    Are the benefits of keeping it 265 worth it, or just go with 285s?

    Daily driver or second vehicle? How far is your commute? If commuting, daily driver, wife & kids, I say go 265, maybe add some Spidertrax spacers to beef 'em out a bit.
