The wheel diamater dosen't mean anuthing{to a point} you need to know the diamater of the tire or you cant mathmatically figure the where you will be. I picked 30"tire with a 15" wheel for refrence. You could have a 30" tire and and 20'wheel and the center will be the same.
That is the other crossroad I am at. I have been trying to figure out what time of wheels I wanted to run on the truck. I would like to run the widest tire I can on the stock frame, but for the tire height I need to figure that out. I was considering a 245/55R18 for the rear.

I also realized this morning I can definitely pull a few leaves out of the spring packs. I will be doing that.
