    About to get new tires and wheels and going from 16” to 17”. Is it necessary to get a 5th 17” wheel for the spare or can I leave as is?

    If it were me, i would want a same size spare so if I happen to get a flat when out on a trip, then i can continue without having to immediately find a shop to fix the original tire.

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    rim size makes no difference, tire size is important.
    265/70/16 = 265/65/17
    285/75/16 = 285/70/17

    I can safely say after following you down some dusty trails, that you are WAY more adventurous than I am in your truck! Though you kept showing me that they can take a lot more than you think...

    The missus bought us a drone so I don't have to inspect the house and trees from a ladder anymore. I think I'll flaunt the popo and try to get some shots.
