    Default Thinking of new front runners

    I know I havnt been using my truck in the past 2-3 years, but I been thinking of contacting centerline wheels or bogart and get some 17” front runners and get rid of my 15” convos, 0F7B46C7-1341-4E17-B2AD-CD03E29ED4DC.jpg

    Why a 17”, Look or brake upgrade in future?

    Couple things, the truck sits pretty low as it is, with the drag pack, the license plate drags, another is more mph on the top end(rolling resistance)

    Going to a 17" wheel won't matter. You need a taller tire

    I’m running a 28, I figure taller wheel, and stay within a 29-30 tire less sidewall

    Get a skinnier tire/rim combo. That's where the rolling resistance will come to play. Rotating mass from a lighter tire/rim combo will help too weather that is the 15 w/tire or 17 w/tire.

    They are 15x6”, that’s the smallest centerline would build for me at the time

    The one with the 15x4.5 I have. And it's lowered 3" in the front and 3.5" in the rear. The other one isn't licensed
