ETA I believe they also weigh less and could give better mpg’s over tires with more rubber

Hey man, thanks for the reply. This is pretty much what comes on the vehicle stock, correct? I’m currently running the stock wheels and tires. I can get about 20-21 MPG on the highway. It sounds likes that’s pretty good for these old beauties, but I’d love to find reasonable and fashionable ways to squeeze even more out of it. Since I wouldnt be adding a lift, i was thinking that dropping down to much lighter 17s, with maybe the same yoko in a 17 would probably net me some great MPG gains. Might also look like hell. *shrugs*
