    Sure no problem, I found mine on Kijiji for $100. with 4x100 bolt pattern. almost new tires. that fit perfectly. You are going to want to add higher # coil springs and longer shackles eventually put you will be good even with out the lift.

    If you go bigger than the 13" wheels you definitely need the lift. The problem is when you go bigger than 175/70R13 you lose to much power. I see your just over the rockies in Calgary. I'm in Radium Hot Springs. about 300 Km from you. when your ready I can help with just about anything you would like

    Fantastic, thanks for the info. We'll keep in touch for sure. I'm just going to be using mine for booting around town. Still getting mixed info on how well these things go on the highway. Not hoping to go far, but maybe short boots 4-5 exits. Some websites say "highway speeds no problem" .. other people say once you get bigger tires its fine... and others say it won't do it. How is your experience?

    Highway speeds approaching the Rockies is impossible . I only use my truck on the ranch and my gravel roads but I know for sure that 50hp is not going to get you anywhere quick

    Ok I found some 175/70R13 rims and tires on kijiji. They are off a civic that was built for fuel economy, the rims are aluminum and weight 9 lbs each! Wonder if there is any issue with this? I hope not because these may even weight less than stock! Which would be fantastic. What do you think?
