It has gotten to the point where it is time for new tires. Since the LC currently is running orignal 20" but i prefer the look of more rubber.
This is not meant to become a tire thread but i would like a discusion about rim sizes. I am going for looks but the choise still needs to be practical and functional.
The vehicle will primarily be driven on asphalt and dirt roads during all season. Living in an area with a lot of snow and ice.
Toyota orignal minimum size is 18" in the aftermarket there is 17" available.
-What are the pros and cons of one compared to the other?
i am going to assume the wont be a lot of clearance between the brakes and rims which may cause issue when driving in the terrain and during snow build up.
-Which has the most tire sizes brands availble? This would be area dependent (i am in europe)
-Anybody who has gone up or down in size and why?
-Maybe it is better to choose a tire and go for the available rim size?
On a personal level i am most likely not going to need the extra ground patch you can get from a 17" when aired down.
Please let me hear your opinons and experience. a general discussion would be interesting.
