    No prob! Good luck. I still spend way too much time looking at bigger tires wondering if it’s worth it.

    To answer your 16" or 17" question, there are a couple of factors to consider.
    - 16" gives you more tire than wheel, and in theory more air/cushion & better ride. 17" lean toward low profile which some say leads to rougher ride compared to a 16
    - Price -when I bought my aftermarket wheels, 16" were cheaper than the same wheel in 17", and so were the tires. It was several hundred dollar savings going 16". This was ten years ago, not sure what the market looks like today. Look into that.
    - Personal preference: I think older guys like the old school look of 16" (hearkens back to the era of when everything was 15"). Many say the more rubber of a 16 makes the tire/truck look beefier. More of a off road look. Like old school lifted trucks from the 80s/90s. Younger guys tend to like the low(er) profile look, and that seems to be the current trend, more of a street look (but hey its a truck, not a corvette.)

    My 2012 Tacoma came with 17"s and I switched to 16"
