    What do yall think about bronze rims on a silver truck? I'm getting rims tires here in a couple days and am leaning towards the guardians. I did an amateur photoshop

    thats what I thought after looking at it. Bronze and silver can look good together, but theres such a fine line and its all in the shading of the colors

    Its really more about if taking it to 285s makes it noticeably (to a significant extent) more of a PITA to drive in normal circumstances to the point of frustration. My question was really just asking input, how significant is the switch between the two sizes

    Yes I agree-- I had them on my previous reg cab.. just looking for something different this time around, plus im getting a package thru discount tire direct for the convenience factor anyways. If I could get them mounted to tires and shipped for free I'd take a look at them again haha

    You will feel a difference. buy the lightest tires possible. I didn't see a drastic loss between 265 and 315's.

    So go 315s :cool:

    Haha. I would. But I'm not ready to do all the hacking and banging on my little virgin taco yet. Maybe next time though. When I win the lottery here within the next year or so I think I'll go URD, Gears, Methods and 35s

    I think the ratio on 1st is different in the manual & automatic but the final drive ratio is the same
