Just put my Rough Country 4" X-Series Lift on today and damn do I need some rims and tires...lol. Looks like a FREAKIN roller skate on my 285/70/17s. I'll be seeing my local DTD on 1 MAY for sure!!

Why go to the local store? You can order online, save some dough, and have the wheels/tires balanced and sent right to you! All you would have to do is swap them over!
I wished that I would have done that a few months ago, but needed tires pretty quick and wasn't quite ready for the smaller wheels and bigger tires. I could have saved myself several hundred dollars in the long run.

Now if that's not the case when I go to purchase them then I'll just have to raise alittle HELL and or possibly reconsider the online option. I'm pretty confident that I'll get it eitherway.

I'd like to see this comparison extended to show the weight and price difference extended for 16" and 17" setups, using the 35" outside diameter as a constant. I've always wondered if let tire and more wheel translates to a heavier or lighter setup.

Well my local store said that they would honor or even beat the online price and everything and I wouldn't have to wait for shipping. Now if that's not the case when I go to purchase them then I'll just have to raise alittle HELL and or possibly reconsider the online option. I'm pretty confident that I'll get it eitherway.

Is the 3.25 offset to make the 15's clear the brake calipers on those rims? That equates to widening the stance or "Track" a total of 6" (As factory offset is 6.25) right?

Compared to where the factory wheels sit, the MB72 will push out putting the font lip of the wheel nearly flush with the fenders.
