Here's my questioon to all of you. 99's have stock 16's while 00 and 01 have stock 18's.

Does anybody use 17's?

I want to go with a large look. I know many of you go with a larger rim but you sacrifice the meety look for alot of side wall rubber. I like all that rubber, I personally don't like the look of a low profile tire on a SUV.

Does anybody know what the largest tire you and put on a stock 16" rim...without cutting the cladding?

Same question...but now for a 17" wheel.

Need response's....buying in the next few days.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE USED WHEELS AND TIRES FOR SALE? THAT LOOK THE WAY I'M DESCRIBING THEM.

There is a member that has pictures of his 17" wheels and tires in the gallery.

I run with 17" for street and 16" for off-roading. I don't think they are as meaty as your looking for, but I love the ride.

a little cladding trim will not hurt ......... should not cost you too much sleep ..............

and ......... in the front, may be desirable .......... the front bumber cover is very close - almost too close - the the tire ..........

I agree. I think 17" is the best of both worlds.

Hey, just saw some 315/70/16 on ebay. Does anybody know if this will fit our stock 16's? They seem pretty wide but...315's WOW!
