V6, What size tires/wheels?
Hey,
I've got a 4.2 l V6 F-150, Extended Cab..
Currently I have 16" stock rims, stock suspension..
What would be the best size tires/wheels to go with so that I am getting maximum performance, minimum loss of gas mileage/power?
I'm currently looking at getting a set of 18" rims.. will this work without having to mess with my suspension?
Will I have to get my speed-o-meter and odometer adjusted?
Basically, I want slightly larger tires/wheels that will look good and give me maximum performance/acceleration with minimum loss of power or mileage.
Current mods = jet chip stage 1, vforce muffler sido exhaust, air force 1 intake on the way.
Thanks a bunch!
I'll post a few pics once I get everything done =]

There are sites such as www.1010tires.com where you can compare tire sizes with their online calculator and know how things change (percentage +/-) with the tires and wheels you select.
The dealer installed 18" wheels with 265 60's on my V6 and I don't think it changed the overall circumference mcuh at all. Thus no significant chage to my speedo reading.
