Also, any tire 235 or under would be good. 255 and higher is a little too much tire for a stock single cam.
There are 2 things you should not do about knowledge, in general. The first one is assuming. The second one is believing in common knowledge.

Common knowledge is a bitch that will never be on your side.

As far as wheel weight go, it depends on wheel design, material and construction, not size. As i already said, my 17x9 are the same weight as the OEM 15x6, and you can still go lighter.
