those are 315/75 R16s, the wheels are 16x8 with 4.5 backspacing, hope you like the 4.88s, when i can get a 6 lug sf or a ff with adapters or 6 lug hubs, i'm getting 4.56s, but mine is mostly road use anyway

I will use the truck for oh about 90 percent road driving but it will be mostly around 45 mph on post. So I am hoping that the 4.88s work out alright. Been wondering if I should take it down to 4.56 gears or keep with the 4.88s. I would like to upgrade to 37-38s latter on down the road.

I would just do a BL, but I'm afraid it'll look like ******.

All I wanna do is run my 35x12.5x15's on 15x8's

I'll have to cut my exhaust tips off for one, remove the spare tire, etc....

some exhaust shops will relocate your tips if you move the rear bumper up to your bumper for next to nothing

at 45 mph, 4.88s should be fine

and just get a 35 inch spare, i bought 5 rims when i got mine so i have a matching rim for a spare, currently its just laying in the bed

and katkatcher, nice truck, i use to have those same tail lights on mine before i went to LEDs

4.88 would pull like a ****. with 35 im runnin with 4.10s and if i got a heavy load they suck, if you are planning o going on up to 38 just keep the 4.88s. ive redone my tips twice went from out the back to out the side to dumps and now ther cut off right after the muffler in front of the bed i reused the tips and it only cost me 20 dollars.

I really think you'll regret going 4.88's with 35's. You really only need 4.56s at the most IMO

the plan is to run some 37s latter on down the road maybe next winter or so. I thought if I over gear for now that's better than under gearing it. I wasn't sure if 4.56 would be good enough to roll the 37s.
