Better for a DD? I could see the 4.56s with your current combo, but I'm pretty sure you aren't gonna like those gears with the short tires you are swapping to.

Yeah i don't do much highway. 60mph is usually the fastest. I just really wantyed 430s.
I guess the 6spd gearing will help out too.

I would do 4.56s with heavy 33-inch rolling stock but not with 27-inch tires on lightweight 17s all around.

I just got the 17's on and already tell a big difference. They measure out to 31.5"
I need a drop so I can put on some shorter wider tires. Anyone have a drop suggestions?

Here is some good info I found over on tech that I posted:
