I never said 35s wouldn't fit, I found out they would after doing my research, but I was just wondering about the brake calipers, but I will leave them alone. However, just out of curiosity, Wat type of american rims and tires do you suggest?

Weedhopper, you may leave when you have completed your homework.

I would never mount a foreign tire on my truck, no need to do it, buy American.

GQ3 you can buy anything you want, but I'll be happy to give you chit for buying foreign.

As for wheels, you probably already know they are the single biggest waste of $$ mod you can do, but it is your $$ to burn. Why not, mount some sweet tires on the stock rims and use the $$ you saved for other mods, or insurance, gas, maintenance? This all depends on what you intend to do with your truck. If it is just a Mall Queen, then do the cha cha rims and tires and call it done because 20" rims are not a good choice for off road. That doesn't imply you can never leave the pavement, but if you plan on wheeling it there are more mods you will need to do to get serious about it.

Tires: Goodyear, anything Cooper (Coopers, Mickey Thompson, and the rest of the family.. ) to start with.

My favs are Micky Thompson MTZ or ATZ, Cooper STT.

Please don't take some of the sarcastic ribbing you may get here too seriously, you are welcome to the forums and you can find a great deal of very good information here. Have some fun with it. Enjoy.
