    I like the 16. I like the tire sidewall to wheel to be nicely balanced. Too much wheel just doesn't look right.

    I think an 18 fills in the truck well. I love my taco, but when I look at the stock 16s it just looks disproportionate...too small that is. Wish I could afford some 18s and new tires. Im not a lift guy, but would like a workaround that would make the truck look bigger!

    gotta go with 16's. And yes, i do think 18 and 20 inch wheels look out of place on 31-33 inch tires. hell, i even think they look goofy on 35's.

    17s. 16s were hard to find tires for. 18's are too big.

    I like 16 and 17. I bought 16 coz' I bought the tires first, but choices are limited. With 17, you'll have tons of choices.

    For off roading, I have always prefered the 16's (depending on tire size your running), but on my Prerunner, Im kinda becoming fond of the look of the 18's...:eek:

    16" wheel, 33" tire.

    Larger wheels eat in to your rubber, which is whatcha really need for truck stuff anyway.

    35" would look good if you could run them without a 6+" lift without rubbing. The amount of lift that needs to go on to accomodate 35s with free motion looks ugly to me...too much space between the tire and the fender...

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    I like 17's, but for practicality, I think im going to get a set of 16's next so theres more sidewalll for offroad.

    I like the 16" myself, I like more tire to at least equal tire/wheel look. But I guess I will be going with the 17" since most 16" wheels don`t fit to well on the sport TRD`s.
