Default A Couple Of Questions

I had some one ask me this question today via PM.

General Motors stuck these dang small tires on this thing and I would like to know what most everyone else is doing to fill these fender wells up with tires. Sizes of tires on factory rims, spacers, every thing but a lift kit.

I just last week put on a set of Toyo M55 255/85/16.....love them. Somehow the dealer says that they can't program the computor for that size tire, so my milage looks real bad.
