We just replaced the rack and pinion, pump and hoses on my father in laws 2000 Silverado 5.3L, 2wd (Step Side).
Truck currently has 18 inch rims with a 265/60/18 tires.
Father in law would like to go back to the stock rims and use a 255/70/16 tires but he feels like the stock tires and rims do not look good on his Step Side truck.
Are there any other rim sizes and rim styles by Chevy that are compatible with the 2000 Silverado (Step Side)
Next question:
Do larger rims and tires (265/60/18) cause premature wear to the pump and rack and pinion?
We found a forum thread (4x4) that talks about how larger rims and tires can cause additional stress the suspension and steering components?
Any advice is greatly appreciated
