Pfft. Ya'll are doing it wrong. I go months without having to refuel.

I pop it in neutral and push it where ever I need to go.

P.S. 18x10's possible all the way around?

According to Motor Trend's list of specs on the Rousch Stage 2, yes. With 275/40's, no loss of turn circle capability was noted. But you'd have to be pretty careful about the offset, which was not mentioned.

Thanks Norm. One day

I'm thinking about getting 18x10 all the way around. Staggered looks nice but I want to be able to rotate my tires and hopefully have them last longer.

Let's spend $600-$1000 to save maybe 1-2 MPG!!!!

I had 255/45/18 & 295/45/18's that tramlined MUCH worse than my 275/40/20's all around now... I was worried about it getting worse going wider and was pleasantly surprised.
