and if anyone is thinking about getting bigger wheels, be prepared to lose some MPG. i can already tell im going to get worse mileage with these bigger wheels. the wheel and tire combo weigh about 130 pounds a piece!! as compared to my old wheel and tire setup of about 80 pounds. i could instantly tell it bogged the truck down when accelerating on to the highway, but i can still burn them at the stoplights

Yeah when I went from 16s on 36s to 20s on 37s in my F250 and I saw my mpg drop!!! Haha but I can still light them up at a stop light. And once the turbo spools up, I'm gone!!! and that white valance is starting to grow on me!

I think it would have looked better with black ones but the chrome doesnt look bad. You'll like the toyos, quietest mud tire ive ever heard. I love mine.
