16's or 17's

Hell...I'd go with 15's if it was possible.

 

^^^^ What he said ^^^^ More tire - less rim is the way to go off road

 

16s!!!! Big tires, little rims.

 

15s on everything up to 44 inches.

 

16 inch tires and heck I am keeping my stock rims since they look pretty good on the Tacoma's

 

Had 17's on my silverado and was very limited in selection on tire size

 

Do you plan to use the truck as a mall crawler or do you actually plan to wheel the truck?

16's= offroading
17's mall crawling

As one of the first posters said, more tire and less rim is preferred when it comes to offroading.

 

I think 17s have more tire options than any other side (off road tire wise)

Plenty of people wheel with 17s, I think 20s are better suited for mall crawlers. I ran 16s and they got messed up, I've ran 20s, I didn't want to mess them up, running 17s no and I'm sure they will get messed up.

 

I like 16s, prefer them actually. Just wish you could get some BFGs in a 16 that's between a 265 and 285 like in 17

 

in general, what would be lighter. 17" rim/less tire or 16" rim/more tire?
Keeping rim type and tire brand the same, only changing sizes

 

^^ The 17" combo would probably be lighter since tires increase in weight more by size, but not by much.

 

Four years later and its still going strong. 17s all the way, got them on my new 2010 sport

 

16" with 33s is my favorite. 17" with 35s+. But 17s have more wheel options.

 

I have 15x8 wheels for sale lol

 

Damn straight.... seconds gens pshhhh hwell:

 

15 inch have wide selection and hell of alot cheaper than 17/16's

 

Yup

 

I was lucky enough to make the 16's work with this drop bracket kit.

 

If your gonna upgrade your brakes get 17". I am running tundra calipers and now a 16" would not work. Which made me sad cause I really like the FJ trail team wheels in black.

 

sell thoose Fj's to me hahah
