Newbie Question

I just bought a 2006 Chevy Silverado with a 6 inch lift and 325/60/20 tires. How small of a tire can I put under that truck and still look good and how many miles per gallon am I looking to gain? Brand new to this custom game so any help would be most appreciated!

Checked the mileage yesterday and I got a smooth 11.7 MPG but the speedometer is off 5 MPH so I should a little better than that but not much.

I wouldn't go any smaller than a 33x12.50, not sure if it will improve mpg though.

Maybe he wanted a tall truck, just without massively wide tires.

A true 33 doesn't look to bad with a 6 inch lift and you'll probably get 14ish mpg but I say go with some 35s on an 17 or 18 inch rim! That would look real good

As others have said before, a 33x12.5 is the smallest you would want to go without looking ridiculous. For the $1000+ you would have in tires, why not look into re-gearing to help with mpg's. This would help you around town but not much on the highway...

This is a good idea.
