i am currently running 285/70/17 tires with a 3" lift. i have 17x9 moto metal 951b wheels. i've been thinking about downsizing to 265/70/17 tires but i do not know if they will look dumb or what not. i've seen a few pics of them on tacos and they look pretty good. figured id see what my fellow taco owners feel about this.

Here's pics of mine with the 265/70/17 tires and then with 285/70/17 tires. Personally think the truck looks better with the 285/70/17's
