i don't think i would reuse the tires cause with a hit that hard the tires could have boken the belts on the inside and the only way to tell is when they r install again they will have a bad pull r the steering wheel will shake

I was also gonna say the 265/45's. You could always use the other tires for spares for the front. I'm not sure I like the look of mix-match wheel sizes, but I'm a little older (37) and really not sure what's hip and what's not. The thing that matters is what you like. I've been in the mood for some 18's myself with like a 285/50 for the best of both looks and performance. My 20" Centerline Lexi's w/ 285/50's KILL the performance and braking on my truck, but look killer compared to the Esky wheels I run in the winter. I'd like to get a painted wheel as opposed to a chrome wheel so that I could just leave them on all year long and not worry about the salt tearing them up. I'd really like a set of these, as NO BODY else runs them:

yeah, they are pretty good looking wheels. I wonder if you can contact halibrand and have some made in 6 lug? I wonder if they'd have to be 6 spoke as well

Damn! I know they used to have some for the 6 lug Silverado, but it wasn't either of these. I don't even see them at all now. Oh well, I'm going to think long and hard about my next set of wheels, as I kinda rushed into the Centerlines' I currently have. I still think they look great, but they are HEAVY as a ****. I want the best of both worlds, even if it means 18's next time. I kinda feel like I need 20's, as I only have a 2" shackle drop and don't plan on going any lower. I'm kinda liking the Joe Gibbs wheels, but not sure. I'd love to run factory SS wheels, but they are as heavy or worse. ????

they are pretty heavy and I can almost guarantee the centerlines are lighter... if you want though, I know where you can get a set of factory GM SS wheels for a very fair price.

Try NTWonline.com it's an off-raod company but they might be able to get you them if you call'em. Also I have a friend that works at ETA OFF-Raod in Norfolk And he can get anykind of tire. Just let me know whats size you gonna go with and I'll get a quote from him.
