Im in the market for larger wheels and new tires. Im looking at 18 or 20 inch wheels in the fuel hostages or fuel octanes with 35x12.50 toyo mt or nitto grappler mt. Which tires do you guys recommend and for the people who have done this switch can you tell a big power loss? I

thanx

I think almost everyone will recommend the toyo and the stockers are 34.4" so going up to 35" won't be very noticeable, just depending on how heavy that particular brand is.

not sure how true it is, but ive always heard every 100 lbs is 1/10 sec off your 1/4 mile time. the overall diameter is still about the same so like maxx said, unless your rims are ridiculously heavy, you wont notice a difference. throw some 37's on it, and it'll be slower
