PS I am NOT looking to put on chrome wheels or make it look like a gang/pimp/LA rapper's truck, just maybe one size up?

Thanks

I think it all depends on keeping the same rolling diamater (circumferance).

If you go up size with the rims, you must have lower profile tyres. For example; if the total size of the original tyre/rim is 26 inch high. The replacement bigger rim must have a smaller tyre side wall (low profile) that equals 26 inch.

That way the speedo reading stays the same & the speed signal to the computer is the same, that way there will be no problems with all the safety features & engine/trans management.

Thats my 2 cents worth, hope it helps.
