    Looking to put a set of Fuel hostage wheels with Nitto terra grappler g2 tires on my stock 2wd TRD sport. So do you guys think the 17s with 265/70/17 tires or the 18s with 275/65/18 tires will look better with the stock suspension? I like the look of the 18s, but scared they might look too big without a lift.

    I have that 17" size on my truck now with stock alloys and they look good. But mine is lifted 2.5"s up front. Those fuels are 9" wide and I think they will look odd if you go to the 18s.

    17's over the 18's.If your going to be doing offroading on a regular basis i'd go with 16's or 17's for that matter because you'll have more tire side wall and such.Good luck though with your decision!

    17's unless you like the look of not having a lot of rubber.

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Think I'm leaning toward going with the 17s and a little beefier looking tire.
