Hey everyone I am new to the site and wanted some opinions from other experienced OBS fans.
I currently have a Single cab Long box 1993 K1500 6.2 Diesel with a 5 speed manual trans and 3.42 gears. Paint job last year and currently running some 265/75R/16 on stock rims. Im getting approx 1100 kms to a tank on the highway.
I just installed a 6 inch Zone lift kit and adjusted the height to 5 inches of overall lift. Now here is my dilemma:
Im set on new 17 inch rims. Either an American Racing rim or Mickey Thompson classic style rims(much like chevymans white obs)
Should I go to a 35 inch tire... or stick to a more aggressive 305/75r/17?
Ive been told go ahead with 35s its a standard and its a diesel shouldnt have any issues, and other have told me to stick with 33s since the 6.2 is not a powerhouse by any means.
MPG is a factor as I commute to school.
Thoughts, Advice, Death Threats?
Thanks
