Greetings to All,
Anyone running 17-inch diameter wheels? We are thinking of changing from the 15-inchers we have now. 72' Stock Height Thanks for the Input MrBlue

I went from 15" to 17" wheels and tires.

Re: 17-Inch Wheels
I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but I just wanted to say that I hate this huge rim-rubber band tire thing. It looks great on some cars (mostly ricers) But it looks like crap on our trucks, but after seeing the above pictures I think that 17" rims look great. 15" rims with a 70 series tire look dumb because they don't fill out the wheel well. I can hardly wait until I can get my hands on a set of 17". JMHO.
