    I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on Method NVs but can't decide between 16's or 17's. I've searched but can't find a good comparison pic. Any pics with a silver DCSB, 3 in lift, and 16 in NV's vs 17 in? Most pics don't state whether they are 16 or 17 in. I'm leaning towards 17s but that's going to require new tires.

    Too few to list.
    More tires are available on 17's. !7's are a tad bit heavier though.
    I always go with lighter so last two wheel purchase has been 16's.

    If you actually off-road your TRD Off Road - stick with the 16s.

    AFe Rebel Catback Exhaust, AFe GT Momentum Air Intake, Method Wheels, Bilstein 5100, Rigid 30" SR2 Light Bar, Rigid 10" SR Light Bar. Lots of Love
    Red but nvs in 16s, at times I wish I would've gone with 17s because I could get the KO2s in a C rating for the same size as my 265/75r16s. Less weight = better MPGs but not that it matters much, but all the hwy driving I do, it's starting to matter. 285/75/r16 KO2s are my next upgrade. I do love the fat tire look.

    That looks good. I went with the 16s as well but in matte black. I really didn't feel like buying new tires.
