17" Wheels? Anyone?
 
Does anyone run 17" wheels? Are those just too small for these trucks if youre trying to upsize? If you do run them, what size tires are you running? pics?

THAAAAANKS

17s are the ragged edge of what I normally find appealing on a truck, but I'm a 4x4 guy too.

Re: 17" Wheels? Anyone?
 
Do ya'll think 235/65-17 all around would be too small? There is a large variety available seemingly so prices are good...

JoeyBones 03-18-2013 01:11 PM

Re: 17" Wheels? Anyone?
 
also, for that size, 17x8 or 17x9?

cory d 03-18-2013 01:29 PM

Re: 17" Wheels? Anyone?
 
what about 17x8 with 255/55/17? 28" tall just like a 275/60/15 . i dont know about your options for tires though

JoeyBones 03-18-2013 02:47 PM

Re: 17" Wheels? Anyone?
 
yea if you search the 235/65/17 is pretty widely available...and for good prices.. but if you're suggesting the 255 on an 8" wide, then I suppose 235 would be good on an 8 too
