Tire idiot

so found a great deal on BFG AT ko2’s on Craigslist - hustled over. Swiped them up. Figured they look great on my 2011! Still got the nubs on em. Sweet. Then bring to my guys shop and he’s like “hey dumbass these are 17s and you have 16 inch wheels”
So... now I’m in the market for 17 inch wheels...
any help will be appreciated.

 

What are you driving? You posted in 1st gen but your profile says 2011 OR. You can pick up OEM 17’s cheap.

 

I call that the dumbass tax. Been there, lol.

Why not go for the right tires, though? Might still be cheaper than wheels.

 

Very interesting tale

 

Might also post in the tire and wheel forum.

 

It’s a 2011

 

Don’t mind going for 17 wheels. Give a little more height I suppose
Paid 400 bucks for the 5 essentially brand new tires

 

Oh. And I posted in wrong f ing forum.

Sorry dudes.

Buy 17" wheels or sell the tires.

 

Get the TRD Pro wheels. I have them and love them.

 

Yeah - Looking to go 17 wheels

 

Help with what?

 

So the issue isn’t that you have the wrong sized tires, it’s that your truck isn’t a 1st Gen.

How old are the tires? Just out of curiosity. There should be a DOT date code on there.

 

good find though.

 

That was a Freudian slip, your inner Taco brain wants to roll on 17's so your subconscious MADE you buy those 17 inch tires.

 

DOT BE AH A711

 

Yeah - Now I’m all worried that 17 inch wheels wont fit without spacers!!!
