Looks mighty sharp there Mike! I'm Sooooooo jealous. I've wanted some
larger rims for my dak for a while now (since day one actually) but
something always seems to come up just about when I'm ready to spend. Plus,
I haven't been able to find anything I really really like.
Did the larger wheels/tires make a noticable difference in handling of the
truck? Also, how did you correct for the very different OD of these new
larger meats? Is it pretty straightforward to do through the superchips
thing? I've been dying to try it with mine, but my speedometer is pretty
accurate already.
