I have 18 in rimes and the 4x4 shop manager told me that i could not get anything smaller than 18, but i would like to atleast go to a 17. more options for tires and cost. did you have to get an offset and if so what was it.

Your setup appears to stick out only slightly farther than stock. Have you found that they throw stuff all over the sides of the truck? Anyone have any experience with the MT Baja ATZ radial? Looks real simiiar to the Pro Comp's you got. Lookin good BTW!

Anyone know if there would be a whole lot of difference between 305/65/17 and 285/70/17 for fuel economy?
Also, this is with 3.55's, not 3.73's.

Better MPGs
Won't decrease the affective gear ratio to much compaired to stock.
Better acceleration(b/c of the close to stock affective gear ratio, which in turn results in more MPGs).
And they're cheaper.

There will be a drop in mileage with the 305s compaired to 285s..... buy how much... I'm not sure.
But your acceleration will be a little worst, and you'll get a little less MPGs, but would either one be enough to justify not getting 305s, I'd have to talk to someone that tried both before to see.
