I want 22's, but it would take me a few months to get tires for them. The lightning rims and wheels would cost me $1700 shipped.

sounds like its worth the wait

sure u could get the slides for under 2 grand too. drivelinecustoms.com has a set of kmc 22s shipped for like 1263. then, jus a generic tire size 305/45/22 around $150 each @ tirerack.com + shipping, so like 18/19-ish. plus a stepside with lightning wheels.... gonna look like a knockoff imo. ur truck tho, wish i could get some new wheels sometime soon. my next set will be 24s

I found a set of KMC slides for $1183 shipped. I also found 305/40/22 for $600
shipped. Is 305/40/22 enough tread?

that's a 12" tire, with roughly 11.5" of useable tread, and the sidewall is about 4.75", which puts you at a total over height of about 31.5"-32".

that should look perfect.

Thanks! Btw, sexy signature picture.

I emailed the company selling the KMC slides, they are giving me $80 off. So, $1100 shipped.

So I just noticed this



How would I fix it to show me my mileage?

Also what paint do I need to get the stock grey look of my 2003? I have a few things I'd like paint, I also have the light grey color on the console.

Look up the Intermittent Odometer Repair on the How-To section.
