gettin some new wheels
well, ive came across a pretty good deal on ebay, guys selling some BBS RW 18x9 wheels 5 for 575$ buy it now, they are the plasma finish (a chrome type finish) i figure for about 115$ a wheel or so thats pretty dang cheap.. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BBS-R...QQcmdZViewItem what do you think theyll look like??) ive got a 99 silverado thats goin through some major changes right now, (pearl black, ss cover, painted grille, headlights, billet bowtie, lowering it soon, all that) and now i cant decide on a tire size, the tire places want to put a 285 60 18 on there, but ive done tire size calculators and thats a little big, i think the factory size is 255 70 16 correct?? ive looked all over the place and cant find a definite answer, but if so then a 285 55 18 would be the closest size, but thats a really odd size, so i was thinking a 285 50 18 would look pretty good, but i dont wanna buy a set of tires and look like

I have those on my truck with 255/55/18 Nitto 420s. Mine don't have the plasma finish, though. They were on the truck when I bought it, but I like them quite a bit. My truck has only been lowered 2" in the rear, pic in sig. I'll probably sell them when I drop my truck soon to buy some 20" Centerlines.

I've got 255/55/18's on my Titan wheels. They are very close to the same size as the stock tires.
The truck is lowered 2/4.
P.S-Laugh at the ghettoness now, but the billet 22's will be here Friday!
