    Thinking about new wheels

    Ok so I am wanting to change the truck up a bit....
    I wanna do a drop...maybe 2/4...and new wheels and tires..pretty much any change from all terrains will be nice. I was looking around to find some wider rims so I can still have a wider tire out back. Anyway...I was trying to find some suggestions for wheels/tires. I was looking around and was thinking about these:http://www.cragar.com/ViewImage.ashx?id=63&size=350
    but Im not sure if I like em or not....I was thinking about 17's. I was also looking at these:http://www.cragar.com/ViewImage.ashx?id=69&size=350
    And of course you cant forget the soft 8's....http://www.cragar.com/ViewImage.ashx?id=74&size=350
    I am just super lost cuz I cant find any good tires for 16's or 17's

    Wow I really dig those soft 8s also. I would definitely go with a 17 and a 295/60ish tire size with the 2/4

    woha buddy that calculation comes out to a 31" tall tire
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
