My truck is lowered 4.5/5.75 and the wheels/tires are 17x8 255/50/17 front, 17x9.5 275/55/17 rear.

I hope to soon switch to 18's. The biggest issue with 17's is lack of tire sizes that look good on trucks. 18's and 20's have more options(If that helps with decision making).

16 mpg ain't bad for a truck .....what would it take to add maybe a FAST intake and injectors....and computer and tuned...? Just writing some of the stuff required started to hurt my wallet...lol. Don't know what tranny you have but the gas mileage should be better. I know there is no comparison, but my last C5 Corvette with the LSI and a 6 speed got 32 MPG @ 75 mph. It was a great commuter car..lol

If you would. Would you give me "first right of refusal" when and if you go to 18" wheels and decided to sell the 17s? My truck is lowered exactly as your...I like the look with the 17s.
