I'm just gonna order a set of these and some 28x10.5s for the rear and maybe later get some 16x7s or something for the front just so its all matching.

I thank you sir! They actually look good on a 7" wide rim. I told them I was going to do this like 6 months ago and they advised against it. That was the only thing holding me back.

see, my street tires are 275/60/17, which is like what 29.8" tall? I think thats the main reason I didn't notice a huge gain with the 4.10s.
