Newbie needs shoes

[turtlerace]

Hi guys! Recently swapped the ex's Accord for an 04 silv. So now I have questions for the experts. First thing I want to do is get rid of those stupid looking chrome plated wheels. Big decision is on tire size. I have 245/70 16 and would like to know what y'all are running. Suggestions and pics are greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the site! Is the truck a 4x or 2x? Drop/Lift? I have 265/70 17 on mine, but you'll probably find a wide variety of "shoes" here. I think it's a matter of how you want them to look on your truck.

Its a 2X. Looks like it has drop shackles. Just looking for a good aggressive looking street tire that will fill up the wells. Do not want to run 20s, sorry not my look.

you would actually be suprised on how small 20's look on these fullsize trucks

I like the factory 20's from the newer trucks. As for 16's-17's I like the tahoe z71 wheels from the 2004 model. He is right... 20's do look smaller. Centerline makes wheels that are just as light as stock 16's. But $$$

I am kicking around the idea of buying black soft 8s and seeing if i can use my factory center caps to accent them. Kind of a sleeper look with a 8 inch rim and a better off-set.

Talk to Duckysbht(david) he has a set and might part with them.

Noticed his. Wondering what his setup is. Black steelies are cheap so if I hate 'em at least I didn't spend a grand!

just paint a couple inches around the outside of the rim black, makes em look smaller
