So far, this thread has told me that the speedo will read the wrong speed (from the Miata link), and there is a decrease in the towing capacity. Any other drawbacks? Any other reasons to increase in size, even though it isn't that big a jump in size?
same question.. I have I too have a '00 F150 4x2 with p235/70/R16's on stock rims.. sure would like to make this puppy look a little better w/o spending a fortune.. I was thinking of buying different wheels.. have to think more about it now..
