New Take Off SS Rims for sale in MN with less than 100 miles on tires
Hi guys,
I've been thinking the last couple of days about what I've been wanting to do with the SS Rims and tires I bought for my truck and even though they look sexy, I don't think it's the way I want to go. I want performance overall ontop of everything so the SS rims are going to go. I didn't realize they would take away from my lowend power like they did until after I put them on and took them around the block. But here's the info anyways; I am located in Minneapolis, MN area and would prefer not to ship these. (lord have mercy on the man who would have to pay for shipping costs). The tires have 12/32nd's tread (which is what goodyear rates the tread as being new) and once again they are 275-55-20 Eagle LS's. Wheels are perfect and are new take off's. All I'm asking for is what I have stuck into them. Tires/wheels/caps/lugs, everything for $1300. I'm going to say pickup only at first. If they don't sell in a couple of weeks, then I may consider shipping.

Have you considerd going with shorter tires to match the hight of the stock tires?
That would take care of the low end problem.
The SS tires are 31.9 in tall!!! The stock tires are either 30.1 or 29.9 (depends on either the 255-70-16's or the 235-75-16's) That two inches or extra height is killing you!!
So you can sell the the rims or buy new tires if you like the look of the SS rims. I just want to let you know that if you like the look, you can have the performance too. You will lose a little because of the weight issue also, but you will almost always have that problem with 20' rims, most of them are heavy, and the weight is on the outward part of the wheel. You can get lightweight rims too.
sorry for rambling but good luck

So you're telling me then if I go with the shorter tire around 30 inches that I'll get most of my low end back? I would definatly keep them then. $950 shipped
C'mon, don't bull$hit me If that's the case I'll keep the wheels. See, I asked this in the other thread but no one replied. I wanted to know if I would get most of my low end back by dropping the 2 inches in tire height. So you would agree that the 2 inches in tire height is killing my take off moreso than the increased weight of the wheel?Joe

I was playing with the calc at: www.1bad69.com/calc.htm and you will see a bigger difference between 3.73 gears to 4.11 gears (which isnt a whole lot) then you will from the 30.1 tire to the 31.9 tire change.

I have Centerline Lexi IV's and they are HEAVY. I gain 3 tenths switching from the Centerline 285/50/20's to Escalade wheels and 275/55/17's. The Escalade wheels are only 28.9" compared to the 31.2" 20's and they are also about 20lbs lighter per wheel. All that considered, I only picked up .3 in the quarter with the 17's. You also need to remember that a 275/45 or 265/45 besides being shorter is also going to be lighter, and the 275/55's that you have are 32" tall. That is WAY too tall for a 2wd truck. You really need a 4.10 rear with a tire that tall, and its still too tall in my opinion. If I were you I'd sell them to Tim. He seems to be making a more than fair offer on the shipping and you'd be getting you money back. Then shop around for a LIGHT 20" wheel (there are a bunch that are WAY lighter than stock SS wheels) and get the shorter tire. Then you have the best of both worlds. They do look great on your truck tho. Good luck.
