Default My new Duramax

My new Duramax 2011 2500 chevy 4x4 11000 miles I have gotta get a new set of wheels and tires I got it stuck at the dealer in wet grass well I know the 4wd works pulled it out with the toyota just left it in 2 wheel and won 20 bucks from the salesman he said it couldn't do it I traded my tundra for it its fun so far it gets way better mileage than the tundra the toyota had 193K it was fun the chevy is soo much easier to get in and out of I do want a small lift though maybe 35's or so I haven't decided what wheels to run ?

I'm not a fan of the XD wheels myself, I really like the BMF line up like suggested, but they're pricey. Fuel makes some really nice wheels, Weld has some nice new designs too...

thanks for all the replies damn mdub707 that makes me miss my 6liter mine was red and silver I found a set of bmf sota's I liked for the duramax on ebay so I ordered them they are pricey but I like the set I am going with a set of 37 13.50 R20 toyo m/t's they always lasted on the toyota thanks for the help and yall were right on the xd's they dont have anywhere near the load capacity of the bmf wheels it's a 3/4 after all. I am about to start doing all the deletes on it no more urea or cat it will be 5in straight pipe and cold air intake my buddy that works at the ford dealer in town is going to help me I do feel kinda wired cutting into a new truck but after my 6liter want all the power you get from the small things has anyone tuned their duramax and what tuner did you use? I found a pic of the sota's and mark's duramax

EFI Live is probably the best tuning for it... You're probably gonna need a little trans work if you go that route though
