Subject: 17x9 wheel/tire combo
IP: Logged

Message:
I have a '99 Dakota, reg. cab, long box, 6cyl.
Everything is totally stock. I just bought some factory
17x9 R/T wheels to replace the standard 15's that are on
it now. I'm wondering what tires to put on it. Looking at
other posts, I'm leaning towards P255/55R17's. Am I
going to run into any clearence problems? If not what
would be a good mild drop for it. I live in the Northeast
and want to keep it practical for the road conditions
around here. If anybody has any pics of similar
modifications, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks Jeff. Just checked out the pics. That's exactly
what I'm looking for. I live in Warren, Pa. Since you live
in Jersey, I'm sure you can relate to the road conditions.
Thanks again.
