Thanks. I had six loud and rough riding BFG Mud terrains on it before and I couldn't be happier with the semi wheels now. My truck went from 14.6 mpg to over 17 in the city. With the taller tire the thing hauls ass on the interstate now. It rides like a caddy compared to how it did before...

your gear ratio drops with bigger tires lowering your rpms when at cruise, thus better mpg.

That much unsprung rolling weight/mass really sux on the brake system, and puts the wheel bearings, steering components etc under one hell of a strain.

I run the 8 to 10 lug adapters on my truck with 19.5's for 12,000 miles with no issues plus it looks tough with the bigger hub.
