I have to agrre with NAZ. Again.
I know it's your money, but $6g's on rims?
And to answer your question about it being hard on tranny's, yes and no.
It can be very hard on your transmission if you don't get the tranny recalibrated or retuned or chipped to set for the new rim and tire size.
If you don't, and i did not when i put larger tires on my truck, you run the risk of future tranny problems. But i don't care because it costs me nothing for labour. And I want a new tranny anyway. This one has always sucked.
Oh, and your gas mileage will instantly become horrendous.
So add another 2-3k a year on top of your figure for the cost of fuel.
Just letting you know.
