| If your worried about fuel economy, why spend 2k on wheels and tires?  If you can afford the wheels and tires, you can probably afford 1-2 miles per gallon. But rest assured, you will lose it. If you want some good lookin duals though i would get something like eagle alloy wheels. They make some pretty sharp 17-19s. You could go with a 17 or 18 and an economical tire and maybe not lose anything, or at least not as bad. | |

| I can't decide whether to get the KMC xd series dually wheel and keep the stock size or go for the alcoa 22.5. I love the big rig wheel but hate to lose the mileage.

| i would go with the 19.5's since you will have alot more tire options and the tire size you need to go with is the 225-70R19.5 or if you want a tad bit more hieght then stock go with the 245-70R19.5..22.5's are cool looking but tires are gonna cost you more then the 19.5's.
let me know if i can set you up with wheels.
