Looks very nice! I'm really starting to like less wheel and more tire

Thanks! Yes, nice and fluffy tires

I sent a pic to my brother and he asked why I went with bigger tires than 33". I told him they are actually .25 smaller than before.

Looks great! I saw your other set in the For Sale section and that they came with sensors. What did you do for new sensors? Trying to get a ballpark if I should just uninstall the ones I have or if I should just get new ones with the new wheels and tires.

For the same price and a remount and balance and stems, you can get replacement TPMS. I'd get replacements for your new wheels if I were you, then your old wheels will be more likely to sell too, since they'll still have the TPMS.

Thank you sir! Definitely worth just buying new ones. Thanks for the link, appreciate all your help thus far!

Now my big dilemma is whether to get the 20's mounted up or go with 18's and fluffy tires.

Rawyzf · October 1, 2015

After going to 17s, my vote is Fluffy! But compare my pics of 20s-17 or WendysorBust pics of his 20-18.

No problem at all, glad to help.

Haha, you guys have sure made it difficult for me! How's the ride with the 10 ply tires compared to the 20's w/33's? My guess would be about the same since there is more sidewall on the 17's negating the increase in plys?

You nailed that perfectly. The ride is the same as it was on 275/60/20. It's a little more harsh on bumps, but on the normal road conditions, can't fell any difference. I went with the exact same model tire too, but went from regular to 10ply.

When you did the $100 off $400 deal on discount tire direct on eBay, did you add 2 wheels to the cart, buy them, and then add 2 more and buy the other two to get a total of $200 off or did you just add them all at once? About to pull the trigger. Thanks for your help man!

Get $100 off two times!

So you just basically just make 2 separate orders, right?

Correct. Best part is that the receipt you get will show a purchase of 4. So, if there are rebates, you get that too.

What black lug nuts did you wind up going with and would you recommend them? i am thinking about ordering the black pro comp ones but have read differing reviews about the socket with the splines chipping paint off of them. Thanks in advance!
