Now that you've done it, what are your impressions of the ride difference?

Thanks y'all!! Supercharged, I am going with the 2/3 for sure :) Blackedout...yes, they have got to go! They stand out like a sore thumb, just like the bowties. I want nothing but black & chrome on my truck! lol.

Mr. B, I definitely feel the road a little bit more but to be honest with you I'm already used to it and it doesn't bother me a bit. The tires rub a tiny bit when I turn really hard (U-turn), but nothing a little trimming won't fix. I'm going to ge that taken care of when I have it lowered.

I'll tell y'all one thing though- it gets a LOT more attention than before, not that it bothers me, haha.

Christina, Your really are not going to notice to much.. I have had 24's on basically since I owned the car. Only time it got ruff was when I lowered it but still not to bad with it lowered.

I'm getting the sames wheels....what offset should i get?

PC3000, mine are 305/35R24 and they ride pretty good. Like I mentioned before the only minor issue is that the tires do rub the plastic clip in the wheel wells in the front but it is very minor and doesn't do any damage.

IMO, the 35mm seems to be a pretty good fit, although I think my speedometer is off by +/-5mph now (if it reads 70mph, I am really going 75mph).

Anyway I think a lot of it is preference. I am happy for now with what I have, but there are plenty of other opinions out there if you search the older threads as well :)

To tell you the truth, its actually under what the speedo says. For your size diameter on the 24s (32.3") from the 20s (31.9) your speedo will be about 1MPH higher than the car is actually going.

hmm, no kidding? We have a speed limit sign in my neighborhood, and if I pass it going 26 it flashes "31!!!!" at me :)

Thinking about getting the engine re-calibrated to read the true speed, don't know how to go about doing it thought!

For this you would need to get your speeedometer recalibrated. Any speedo shop can do this. I beleieve but don't quote me but I think Justin from Blackbear can do this as well thru a tune..
