I don't want my speedo or my miles to be off but I want bigger rims. Any recommendations to bigger rims but same tire height as stock. I think stock is 26.1"

This app will help

Do they make a 26" tire that will fit a 17" or 18" rim?

Here... play with this.


A 235/50-17 puts you at 26.3".

Here's another option for calculators

Wheel and tire calculators are at the bottom.

How bad will an inch throw my speedo and odometer off?

Thanks for the links guys...
I've noticed that the tires on my b seem kind of "big"
I keep them properly inflated but they tend to howl at anything over 25mph.

Does anyone else have this issue, or should I go with a smaller tire?
These aren't mud terrains or anything so no reason they should make so much noise.

For the speedo question, here is a calculator for that.

It shows it will say about 2.5 mph slower then what I'm actually traveling. My next question is, how bad will it throw more miles on my odometer? I'm looking at buying a set of 18" eskies tomorrow with 1" smaller diameter for $200

I had a set of 100,000 mile tires on a Buick that howled like that. High mileage tires tend to make noise.
Do you have high mileage tires on your truck?
