Hey guys, I recently purchased a 1998 4runner SR5 3.4 4x4 to replace my 1994 Land Cruiser (better gas mileage, lower miles, cheaper price!!)

I'm looking at getting some new tires for my wife's FJ80. She is on 265-60's right now, and they are super small, 30"ish.. not even 31's like they should be... Im absolutely thinking a 33" (285/75/16 or a 305/70/16) tire would be in order, however, I have thought about stepping up to 17" wheels...
