Thanks for the info. Are your aftermarket wheels 15 x 8? Is the backspacing more
than stock? The reason I ask is because my '99 came with 255/65-15 on the 15 x 8.
It looks cool, but actually is too much width for the 8" wheel. When my GOODMONTH
tires wear out, I would like to go wider but the stock wheel is not up to it.
