    Depending on whether you're looking to go taller overall, that's tire and rim, then you may have to put a lift kit into it. Going this route your speedo and performance will change.

    Or you may be looking at changing to a larger rim size but staying with the same tire height of what your tires are now. If you're wanting to keep the truck at the same ride height as it is now, then you're on the right track, lower profile tires, big rims. Staying with the same overall wheel height using larger rims and lower profile, nothing will change with regards to speedo or performance.

    Best thing to do is go to your tire / wheel dealer and explain to them what you're after. They can and should set you up with some different combinations to look at until you get the look you're after.
