17 inch rims
Has anyone got any pics of trucks running 17 inch rims. What size tyres are you using.

Re: 17 inch rims
I'm running 275/50/17s on 17x8 wheels
I think the 50 aspect ratio looks good on these trucks, cause the much more common 40 aspect ration is too short of a sidewall for 17" rims on trucks and the 60 aspect ratio is a little too tall for my taste. Only 2 companies make the 50 aspect ratio in this width, Nitto and Falken. I'm running the Falkens. |

Re: 17 inch rims
I know this is not what you are looking for, but if you want to go a little taller this might fit the bill.

Re: 17 inch rims
Here's mine. 1995 Impala SS 17x9 wheels with P255/50ZR17 tires. They bolted right on with no adaptors, and don't rub at all.
