I'm not sure but you could check out the "Wheel/Tire Combo & Suspension thread" in the GM Drivetrain & Suspension section. So, you're interested in some different wheels? Personally, I like your truck with those GM 17's.

Hey, Tx are you gonna be runin' 18x8's all around?

You should be able to clear easily with 18's on a 4/5 drop. Not sure on the backspacing, but the 4.75 seems about right. Depending on the tire size you can go up to 50 series or so.

Can't run a stock height tire, probably something around the 27"-28" diamter range.

I don't know if that will fit with your drop. I am running 20x8 with 5" backspacing and I couldn't run that size, its a little over 29" tall. You will have .25" less backspacing so I don't think it will work.

Wow, Boyd Coddington Smoothies for $417!! Did the seller know what he had?! Those will look sharp on your truck.
