    since i got my 2.5/1.5 lift ive decided to hold off.
    im looking for a wider stance as well

    im going for a 16x8 wheel (4" BS) with 1.5 wheel spacers ( that way i dont have to trim the lug bolts)

    anyone done this or seen it done? how far would a 265/75/16 stick out?

    sounds EXACTLY like me. haha
    im a freshman at Sonoma State and theyve now labelled me as "an adult" so i have to pay for all the "wants" in my life and they pay for the "needs"
    its sucks
    haha
    i know im planning on ordering from wheelers, but im looking at the aluminium wheels.

    they are almost identical and they are alot lighter, god knows my 2.7L will like that : ]
    :thumbsup:

    haha parents these days,, :rolleyes:

    im waiting to get y wheels tho until i can lift my truck a lil bit more to fit 285/75s
    i want it to still look lifted and have a nice gap between the truck and tires. i dont like the look of tires squeezed in there.

    im in need of new tire so im going to get 265/75 General AT2s..
    from what ive read and from tirerack.com, they are rated better in almost every category than BFG. and they are cheaper.
    sounds good for my budget! :thumbsup:

    I bought my coil spacer from toyteclifts.com, cheap and they have a bunch of other stuff too. Check them out. As far as my ride quality, ride is the same as stock. I havent noitce any difference.
