I dont have 16.5's though. I dont think that would work and I dont want new rims unless I could get ahold of some chrome rockstars. If I got chrome rockstars then every other thing thats chrome on my truck would be turning blue, and no more grille guard. Haha I wish .
haha. yea i would love a sponsor to pay me to do stuff to the truck haha.

dont do the rockstars please. they are soooo played out. i think some XD hoss in chrome would look good. im thinking about getting them in black when i get new wheels

I would love a sponsor too.. maybe if the pics of my truck get around then they will see it and send me a set of tires

Dont worry about that man! Im not going to.. besides people that pay the $385 dollars a wheel that chrome rockstars have to much money to spend anyways .

Pro Comp as a sponsor would be awesome. I would have bought their six inch kit if it were not for the hefty price tag. I have doestch stickers all over the place now so maybe people wont ask so much. I have measured out what 37's would be like and they would get way too close to the fender for me to actually get them. Looks like I am going to have to stick with 35's unless I want to start changing out suspension stuff. I think its retarded that you can fit 35's with 6" of lift and I have 9" and cant fit a tire just two inches bigger... lame.

I am checkin meskin shops for some decently priced 35's.. hopefully I can get my truck re-geared to 4:56's before december.

Im building a ProComp Lift, I will get the spindles someday. Im deffiantly tring my hardest to get ahold of a CrossMember support. Then a AAL in the rear. Check shops for used tires. Can't you clear 36" tall tires?

I can clear 36's just fine and MAYBE even 37's but I dont plan on running this thing like a street queen every day. I dont like how close 37's get to my fenders and I could not imagine what would happen if I hit a decent bump. I can just see those tires crunching up the fenders.

Throw a set of 35's if you plan on off road. Heard good things on ProComp X/AT
