Getting some new Wheels
Well I just gotta get some wheels that will be a bit different. Even thouth I only have 1500 miles on my new truck. I am getting some FOOSE wheels. I am getting 17's, and I am going to put 255/50 on them. Here is what they look like. they are the Nitrous Old School wheels.

The closest sizes to a 225/70/15 would be either 225/60/17, 235/55/17, 255/55/17, or a 265/50/17. All of those would be within 1 mph of your stock speedo it just depends on what sizes are available for the brand of tire. I hope that helps you some.
thanks, I got that info, but not every size is available, some are out there, but real expensive. the 255/50/17, when the speedo is reading 60 mph, it will really be at 59.2 mph. thats pretty close in my book. the 255/55/17 would be reading higher at 60 by 1.4 mph. of course, some tire calculators are not exact, and I don't which is the best. go figure. lol
