Those wheels are sweet and relatively cheap thats why im getting them. I just wish I could afford 285's

That looks sweet. But why do most people go to 15" wheels on these trucks?

For a long time 15" "Bullet Hole" wheels were the ****, and still a great compliment to the body style.

I believe 5.5"

I love those rims.

The one's on my truck are Mickey Thompson Classic IIs

Just a heads up the Mickey Thompsons will have more of a "lip" then either Procomp but that's simply a style preference.

I've found its best to wait and get what you want the first time, that's part of the reason I'm still at stock height.

I like the Mickey thompsons as well but i really didnt even notice the difference until i looked at the price haha. The procomps are 92$ and the mickey's are 130$.

285s won't hurt your gas mileage much, if at all, its just not that big of jump but I wouldn't do a 2" BL if you stick with 265s, IMO it won't look right. Body lifts give these trucks a lot of room, this is my old '91 with 3" body and 33x12.50s on 15x8s, I could fit 35x12.50s no problem.]

What size backspacing are you running and do you rub at all?
