Default tax return plans... wheels/tires

Well I'm about to do my taxes. I'm not positive what I'll be getting back but I'm sure it'll be enough for a set of wheels and tires. I'm tired of running these stock Tahoe wheels and the UHP's arent doing it for me anymore.
I'm wanting a nice set of basic, classy looking wheels in either 18's or 20's Whaddya guys think? and what tire size?? If I do 20's I was thinking about a 275/45 but if I go back with 18's I was thinking more along the lines of something 285 wide.... Just not sure where to go from here. I'm still partial to the 18's though.

I might get enough back to purchase a couple of air fresheners for the truck

You're dropped 2/4, right? I would do 18's.

Unfortunately we are going to use our tax return $$$$$$ to buy a horse trailer for my fiance. We should have a good return this year since we bought the house, I'm hoping to find a decent used trailer fairly cheap and maybe have a bit of money left to do something with.

think the gravitational force, lack of pressure resistivity, and compressible-degree-of-give on the long skinny pedal is your main cause of low mileage.

Not necessarily true... you can itemize, but still start out 10K in the hole... but you should clear a few thou.

Don't forget to deduct your sales tax for the year. If your a Loser, like myself, and you save every reciept, you can add up all that sales tax and deduct it!!! The only downfall is at the end of the year adding up all those reciepts, kinda depressing seeing what you bought all year. Only Texas and a few other states do this..

Oh and a couple other deductions, tax prep fees (if you pay someone or buy software), vehicle registration, student loan, etc..
