Wheels look nice. Why going narrower? Look at the falken stz-04. They are a really nice tire, aggressive tread but also has a mileage warranty, think its the only company that offers this on the larger rims 20's and up.

Wow how much were those? You don't really need to post the price just somewhere that I can find the normal price for them.

That wheel is really sweet. Will the rear wheels work with the 3/4 ton rear hubs? I ask you this because I ordered Lexani VP Offroad wheels (made for Hummer only) and they would not fit over the rear hub on my 8 lug truck 2003. The front fit fine just stuck out a little. I had to sell the Lexani wheels to my boss for his Hummer. I wished that I had test fit them before putting tires on them. Lesson learned for me. I bought Bazo B8's and they worked fine. Good luck and I hope they work for you.
