Trying to avoid the icon rubber band look going with 17s on a 40, but, as others have mentioned, I feel like tire availability/options is much better on 17s v

Called Summit and US Wheel today to order and follow @J Mack 's lead on these alternate size steelies with the hub caps. Found out US wheel won't drill the 16" 69 series steelies to 6 x 5.5 lug pattern. Was planning on doing 255 85s, but thats now out. So it's either 15" or 17" apparently. I'm thinking 17s on a 40 will look like too little sidewall on a 33" tire, but @wngrog 's 80 with 285 75 R17s looked pretty nice! Sidewall height is almost identical. Also wanted to share, discount tire offered to order the custom US wheels for me and quoted $115 each for 15" x 6.5".

Finally got my US Wheels powder coated and mounted the clips based on the @J Mack method with the chain link to convert them to work with the toyota hub caps. Worked really well, holds the hub caps tight and was an affordable-ish option overall. Tires are 285 70 R17, wheels are 17 x 7 with 3.25" backspacing

I need to try that with the clips. I was lazy and screwed mine on.
