    I've gone back 6 pages...not much info.....next month I'll be buying new tire/wheel pkg....

    '14 DCSB Taco w/6 speed...also adding 5100's on front...so tell me.....

    what is the advantage to the 17" for a few more bucks......? I will be looking at 'C'

    rated tires........or just stay with 16" C rated...weight diff on E & C amounts to 7# each...

    May even consider the Falken Wildpeak or Rubitrek over the KO2......A D V I S E please

    16 for off-road and 17 for pavement.

    16 more rubber for impact.

    Smaller wheel offers more sidewall tire for the same overall diameter. That has some advantages for lots of folks.

    You have a bigger selection of sizes in more load ranges in 17".

    I like 16s... but I picked up some cheap factory craigslist wheels so now I have both.
