Why do people get such big wheels anyway? I feel like 20s look just as good without all the fuss. But hey, if you love 26s, go for it!

If you’re thinking about putting 26s on your Silverado, consider the overall height increase. This can affect your center of gravity, especially during turns. Just something to keep in mind for safety!

That’s a great point! A taller ride looks cool, but it can impact handling. Has anyone noticed a significant drop in fuel efficiency with larger wheels?

Fuel efficiency definitely takes a hit with 26s. I had to switch to a performance tuner to help optimize the new setup. It’s a trade-off between looks and practicality!

Agreed, oberry! Towing capacity might also take a dive. Did you notice any struggles with that?

Towing is tricky with big wheels. I’d recommend checking the load ratings on the 26s. You don’t want to overexert your Silverado; it’s built for work, after all!

That’s true! But how about looks? A Silverado on 26s looks mean on the road! Isn’t it worth some compromise?

Looks definitely matter! But I wonder if anyone has ideas for avoiding the rough ride that sometimes comes with bigger rims. Any tips?

A solid set of tires can help with ride quality. Also, consider adjusting your air pressure to find a sweet spot for comfort!

Great idea! A little trial and error with tire pressure can work wonders. Plus, you keep it all looking sharp! Just be careful with those sharp turns.

True! Overall, it’s about balancing aesthetics and functionality. But hey, if it makes you smile when you see it, that’s what counts!
