Angry Sierra Z71 Wheel/Tire Decisions...

Well, at first I wanted Centerline 20" wheels, but then I realized that small walled tires wouldn't be too cool on a 4x4. Now I am back to the reality that I really hate these stock GM wheels and I REALLY need new tires. I am not ready to lift my truck at this point so I am basically going to keep the stock wheel and tire sizes I guess.

Today I visited our local tire/wheel shop and priced the American Racing Chrome Atlas and Python with Michelin All Terain tires. I guess I have problems visualizing what my truck will look like since they have neither the tire or wheel in stock. I hate to spend $1,477.00 for 16x8 pythons with 265/75/16 Michelin tires without at least trying to find a pictures of something similar on someone elses truck. I have to prepay the order and can't return the wheels once they have been ordered! This sucks, but I can't find a cheaper price around here.

Does anyone run stock heights with a similar combination on a Sierra or Silverado Z71? I love the lifted look, but don't have the need or the cash right now. Thanks for your help.
