your stock 20" rim is 20x8.5" your stock 17s are 7"

i run a 275/55/16 on a stock rim. works good, even tire wear, and never sways on the higher mph. i dont like the fact the 20" DR is SHORT side wall. that's annoying and makes me think its not going to launch in colder weather. i have a bus of a truck, so i need it to transfer better.

I'm just gonna get some 16x10s then. What tire ate you running and I'm guessing that's what your 315 45s on?

That's gonna be a sweet setup. And 300 is a steal on them drs might have to snag them on payday. And btw I'm slightly jealous of your 6.2/6 speed swap... just sayin
