16” vs 17” wheels 2019 TRD

Just wondering what the difference is and and pros and cons with running a 17 inch wheel as opposed to a 16 inch wheel in my 2019 TRD. Any help would be great.

 

There are more options in tires for 17". Most of the 16s are e-rated and less options to choose from.

 

What about mechanically or drivability?

 

The tire matters more than the wheel....except......

Weight considerations

Strength considerations

Other dimensional fitment considerations

 

What's your intended use? What size wheel/tires are you considering?

 

Mainly road with some mountain/road driving at times. That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Thinking about raising the front like 1-1.5 inches and trying to figure out the perfect wheel and tire size. Don’t want to chop my cab mount or anything. And definitely don’t want to rub. Just want a good size semi aggressive tire with a tiny poke out the side

 

I have 265/75 r16’s - they are a good size for 16-inch wheels, but 16 and 17-inch rims can give your axle additional height without CMP’s if you use a narrower tire than that -search for “Pizza cutters” here on TW. Some are using 255/80/17, or 255/85/16 for that.

 

I went with 17" rims to fit 33" 255/80/17 pizza cutters. Wildpeak AT3's was my choice. Shortly after I made this purchase, Wildpeaks came out with 33" 255/85/16 AT4 pizza cutter (C Load) tire. Had I known that, I would have stuck with my 16" oem rims.
