    Alright guys, I'm looking at a set of DC2's for my 2015 DC TRD off road. My question to you is.... 16x8's or 17x9s with 285's???

    I ran 17" DC1's on my 09 and I liked them... but 16" tires are more affordable, and of course 16" wheels are less likely to get damaged with more rubber.

    Anyone who is running either DC1's or DC2's with 285's, please chime in and/or show some pics so I can put my eyes on them.. Please include your wheel size with post!!


    Thanks!!

    (Yes, I know there is a search function.. have you any idea the amount of info on this site?!!?)

    ^^I mostly agree with this. Hoping some folks are running 285s on 16" DC2s for me to look at... All opinions welcomed!

    Fair enough.. for some reason I have it in my head that 16's will look small running 285s!

    Come one guys.. Show 'em off!
