I'm about to pull the trigger on a tire/rim purchase and need some input. Currently everything is stock: stock 16" rims with standard Michelin tires.
I am considering upgrading the rims to 17" stock Toyota as seen in the thread below (second post):
https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/197987-picture-request-toyota-17-rims-question.html
My first question: are there any adverse effects of running 17" rims????
Second, with that rim selection, the tires will be Nitto Terra Grapplers in either of these sizes:
295/75/17
or
305/70/17
I know, very close sizes... BUT from the posts I've read the handling is different. For my commute to work and running over curbs I think the 295/75 will be a smarter choice.
What do you think?
TIA (and sorry for another tire/rim thread)
