I run 35's with stock 3.73's with no issues, and see no reason to change them... What type of tires/wheels?

Same..I have heavy nitto tires as well and I feel no need to regear. I'd always be up for it if I came into an easy $1400 though.

I would go 315/75r16 Treadwrights. 5 for $820 shipped and 5 black steel rim for another $280 or so. $1100 and all new stuff. Plus Treadwrights are cheaper when it comes to getting tires the next time. Just my opinion though.

(5) 35x12.5x17 Goodyear MTR-K's (Load C)
(5) 17x8 4.5"BS (forgot to get brand name, but steel 68 bux a piece)

In NC (Near Winston Salem), 1700 miles on tires. There is also a guy in CT selling almost the same setup for 1400.

Haha...well tax returns are nice. I haven't put my sights on the for sale above, but man, I saw those tires online...5 installed on existing rims was 2k, not including the rims...thought it seemed like a good price, though I like the smaller rims.

I'm definitely lookin into that. That's great price.

I need to be part of the 35s club. These stockers are probably gonna be funny looking when I get done with this lift.

I've wheeled with Matt on many occasions and will swear by his treads... Those tires are the best bang for the buck!

Dude, the prices were damn good and they looked pretty nice. I think I can get a set of 35s there cheaper than the stock 32s I have. Now I just have to find someone on here selling some decent 16 wheels and are within driving distance.

There is a lot of positive feedback on them on a lot of forums including the one "not mentioned" that I am still a member of.
