furd rims on chevy...

[special-K]

Thanks. I was going to go just a couple inches before I found the set of aluminum slots w/35s...which 4" would be marginally enough for. The tires lasted about 500 miles. One of my better follies to date . I figured the 255/85s or 285/75s, which are my preferred slightly over stock sizes on these trucks, would not look fine with the little extra lift. I see people hemming and hawing over 2" vs 4" and figured what's a couple inches of difference anyway? The F250 highboys never looked so bad with same 7.50-16s, same size as used on K/20s. Funny, I ran bigass tires for years and preferred minimal lift. I liked to see the openings filled as much as possible. Now that I run smaller tires I like the look of a truck up off the tires. Looks healthy and more capable. Ready for anything. But I still don't like excessive lift per tire diameter.

Just for the sake of same truck/same lift (4")/same angle with 255/75-16 on 7" Accurides, 284/75-16 on 8" Wheel Vintiques, and 35/12.50-16.5 on 9.75s comparison, here ya go
