I wash my rims once a week and use rain-x rim protectant its been doing really good keeping them clean between washes. We also use more gravel than salt on the roads

I think the ranchos only go up to 2 inch but there supposed to be a nice ride. You could put 33s under with rancho

I know with a 2" lift you could fit my size tires. It's offset that you have to focus on. As far as mpg's, my incorrect spedo has shown anywhere from 13-18 mpg's. all depends on if I can keep my rpm below 2200ish.
