Picked these up with 4/32nds tread left for $120 with the center caps included.
This is with the stock tire size on the LX wheels 225/60r18 which is a tall tire! I didn't have the right lug nuts, so I couldn't torque the wheels down and drop it. But they fit! About 1/2" clearance from the leaf springs. I'm thinking about a 235/45r18 all around. Which is almost exactly the same as the 215/75r14 on there now. I'm hoping that the stiffer sidewall of the 45 series tire will make that 1/2" clearance manageable.
The reason for the 18's is strictly due to cost and quality of tires. I daily drive my wagon in Las Vegas, which if you have ever lived/driven here you would know how crazy everyone drives. I'm really looking forward to increased cornering stability and higher quality tread compounds.
