    I have 17" Cragars on my 02' prerunner and they look awesome ! And since I'm a highway driver the performance tire selection is much better. If your an off-roader 15 or 16 of course gives you a better tire

    I guess we all know this but I love 17" wheels

    Hi, im 40, I ran 17's for a bit and thought they looked fine. I am a fan of more tire less rim however.2CEE83CB-AA63-4694-AFC4-F6E745D10C2A_zps_4aed557651ce0cad3b5c8470f1b79da7fe22c438.jpg

    I will be going to 17's for my next wheel tire combo.
    Many, many more options for tire sizes with 17's.
    And I'm 48 if that makes a difference.

    I have a 2nd gen with 17's. I wish a 15 would fit over the caliper. I'd go down in a heart beat. For all of you saying you want 17's, if you're close to SW VA, hit me up if you want to trade a set of 16's for my 17's (stock TRD wheels). Mine have good highway tires. We can work out a few bucks in boot if needed, depending on what each of us has.

    Yes I do, and I love em



    Ps: not so sure what age has to do with anything? 17s aren't nessesarily partial to those over/under 35. It's all just a matter of preference and deciding the versatility and howyou want your truck to drive/look?

    Age has nothing to do with it, just a smart ass response to a smart ass comment. :D

    This debate is nothing new, there is no correct answer. :p
