Looks great !! I am in the process of getting rims & tires for mine and figuring out how much lower I want to go.
These are 225/60-15 and are 25" in dia. I bought 4- 17 x 8 American Racing torque thrust M wheels
Trying to decide what tires to put on is driving me nuts! I think I am going to go with a 26" dia. tire, and lower the frt 1 to 1 1/2 "
The truck has a GM frt clip & I can buy some eibach 1.3 lower springs to lower the frt.

Tirerack has a nice site for specing out tires, click on tire size, then go to specs, this will give you height, section width and what rim it was measured on for each tire, good info.

Thanks, but that's NOT my truck on my Facebook home page. That IS my truck in my photo albums however. It's a 20 footer right now...looks good from far, but it's far from good, up close! LOL
