Tire size on sidewall of factory wheels and tires is P265/70R17 ... I will be going to a 305/35/24 most likely...can anyone help me with figuring out the difference in current diameter and what the 24s will be? thanks

thank you! from what I have heard from biglg is that the 305/35/24 tires have only about a 1mph diff at 60mph which is not bad at all...so that makes me a little more comfortable about getting them.

If you're looking to upgrde from the factory to 24's I'd also look into a bigger brakes so they can stop the big wheels.

are upgraded brakes going to be a must? on boss' website, the ship weight per wheel is 54 lbs and the tires that I've looked at are around 40-50 lbs per tire. Not sure what the total weight per wheel would be, and what that compares to current 17" wheel w/ 265/70R17 tires running 33psi.

After rotating my OEM 20s and OEM 17s, I can tell you that the 20s are very heavy in comparison. Therefore unless the wheels you are looking at are a lot heavier, I don't think you have a worry. Now if your rolling radius gets bigger, then you might worry about brakes.

Yes bigger brakes are a must if you're upgrading to bigger rims. Thats if you want to keep the car for a long time. If not just slap the wheels on and wait for problems down the road. Maybe you can find a set of cheap ones to match your cheap choice of rims. haha!
