rim size

trying to decide between a 16" or a 17" rim, im looking at the procomp 7089 and 7005; i use my truck mostly for dd, with a little offroading and im eventually going to LT it, so im wondering if having a smaller rim is preferable for strength for offroading/prerunning etc., or if it doesnt matter and the size is purely aesthetics and doesnt matter which size you get

 

anyone?

 

i would go 17 i have 16

 

i have 16 right now too, just wondering if there will be a change in performance

 

i came from 17 to 16 and imo its all the same haha exept tires are cheaper for 16

 

bump. anyone else know?

 

For offroad, 16" would be preferred. 16" tires would be cheaper too. Bigger wheels means less sidewall, and generally is more aesthetically pleasing. I'm going to go 16".

Thats the set up im going with. Best prices ive found on the net. Discount tire has free shipping and 4wheelonline is only $40 to shipped 4 tires. Enjoy. Oh yeah i like the 16's myself cheaper for tires and i like more tire than rims.
