I saw a 2010 in the Auto Trader website with what looked like 35 inch tires and I have not studied the new trucks enough to tell at a glance if it has a lift or not. Has any one put a set of 315/70R17 tires on their truck and would like to report on drivability (highway rpm's ), fuel mileage and how much or what kind of lift was required. This truck really looked great with the larger tires on it. Makes the whole vehicle more proportionate in my humble opinion. Thanks !

Gotta a link? I have wondered what that would look like. I have the g56 and overdrive is a little high. I figured that 35s would make it more tolerable.

I can't find it on Auto Trader again. It was at a dealership that had a truck I was interested in (I was looking at a 2009) and saw the 2010 in their inventory. I didn't write down the info on the dealership.

Look for Roger.T's truck. I think his might be a 2500 but it has 35's. If you scroll down about halfway in the show off your Heavy Duty thread you will see it.

After looking at some of the trucks here, I'm thinking that the dealer put a small lift on this truck and more likely a set of 37" BFG Mud Terrains. I have two pictures I use as screen savers but do not know how to post them here if any one would like to check them out. The truck looks pretty sweet, considering the wierd angle the shots are taken at.

You can use photobucket to upload photos from your computer or you can add it as an attachment through the messaging box.

Good looking truck!

Seeing the pics (thanks Blake) it doesn't look to me like they're 37's - they actually look smaller than our forum member's 35's - look more like my 34's. JMHO - pics can be deceiving...

Looking at it again, I would have to agree, looks like 33" maybe 34" and 18" wheels to me. The are not 20's, are at least sure dont appear to be.

Yeah, when I go stand at the same angle to mine (34's on 20's) there's no way these look as big - rims or tires. I'd take a pic from the same angle and post it for comparison, but I'm embarrased to show how dirty I let such a nice truck get! Maybe if I wash it tonight...

Check these out 33's I believe.
