Hmm...I've been bugging my mom for many years now to hook me up with some of those license plates the state gives to court judges...I hear those do the job nicely as well.

oh yeah, for you guys bent on going to a taller tire/larger diameter and wider tire (as opposed to a just wider tire with shorter sidewall to maintain the same tire diameter) - when you move to a larger diameter tire, you are going to lose some acceleration, esp. at lower speeds/standstill (although, if your engine has the power, you will have a higher maximum MPH) due to the tires playing an important role in final drive ratio, along with most importantly your ring and pinion gears (ie: 3.73:1, 4.11:1, etc)

This is true, significantly larger tires can require a new rear end with a higher ratio. However, small increases in diameter actually serve to increase highway gas mileage to an extent.

I have not read through all the posts, so I do not know if this has been mentioned, however if you go to a larger tire, you will have to make a tire diameter change in the PCM to correct the speedometer, for the PCM uses the MAF readings AND the speedometer readings to shift the automatic transmission.
