Centerline 20x9's with Nitto404's 305x20x50's 67 Pound Combo.
I've got about 100 miles on the tires if someone wants to take them off my hands.. I want to go with a lower profile tire.

creederado - Yeah, I figured we'd consolidate all those post that are scattered about into this one thread. Very good info on all those combos!!

20x8.5 seems to be listed at 28lbs.
Guys seem pretty cool on that link but I havn't ordered from them.
What we need is someone here to dyno there truck with the ever so populer 275 20 gygtII agaist stock height generals or a light weight slick to see if it produces and more or less rwhp.
I know when I ran my 20's at the track (before the stall or 4.10's and tranny) it slowed me done about 3/10 compared to the stock generals as well as not hooking for beans.
Anyone try the cooper 275/45-20 yet?

There still nylon enforced like the gy but look cool anyways.

Re: Official wheel weight post.
I got the Stingray's and the GTII's, I weighed them and they were 60lbs even. 32lb,s on tires, and 28lbs on rims. I noticed a loss of thrust myself from the extra weight.
My stock rims and tires were right about 50lbs. So not bad, but even 10 lbs makes a difference.

Re: Official wheel weight post.
the 22/s on my burb made a huge difference. but w/ 22's (29.88 stock- 265/70/16) to about 31.6" you give up rolling diameter to get good ride quality. when I put the 3.1" pulley it seemed to get back to where I was stock.

XLR8NSS - Do you happen to know what the backspacing measurement is on the SS wheels?
