    I would go with the 17's but coming from a tire guy, tires with a 17 rim are harder/more costly to find then a 16'' rim.

    KING Coilovers in the front and 3" aal in the back because I have a shell on the back. The tires are 286/75/16 Duratracs and I have spidertrax wheel spacers on all four corners.

    #1 looks good on your truck.

    Just dont paint them flat black. Do them in a satin or semi gloss black. Flat looks very dingy IMO

    None of the above IMO. If I wanted to go with the stock look then I'd go with the stock look. Newer gen wheels on older same model cars/trucks just look awkward to me. Although if I had no choice but those two, I'd probably go with the 16's

    Voted for the 16" OR wheels. IMO, looks nicer and when you happen to get bigger tires there would be more of side wall and the tires seem to be a little cheaper than the 17's.

    So on sunday I put the 17's on and lets just say, I didn't take any pictures. It was that bad lol. Im going to look into powder coating the 16's, and selling the 17's so I can put some new rubber on them.

    you will need to sell the wheels with the rims as the rims aren;t removable from the wheels.

    Just an FYI - rims are the edge

    wheels are the spokes, rims, and hubs :D
