    My truck is about to need some new tires, and the chrome on my current wheels isnt so hot so I am thinking of replacing them. I was advised to change to a 15" wheel as the 14" tires are getting harder to find and more expensive. Any thoughts on that?
    I also am on the fence between replacing my chrome smoothies or getting some chrome torque thrust looking wheels. My wife likes the smoothies, Im 50/50. What do you guys think?

    There is a lot of information on here for changing wheels & tires including offsets and clearance issues, just do a search.
