17" Wheels? Anyone?
Does anyone run 17" wheels? Are those just too small for these trucks if youre trying to upsize? If you do run them, what size tires are you running? pics?

Re: 17" Wheels? Anyone?
I like the impala 17s, don't have them but I like them. Don't personally like any bigger rims, just not me .... I have 15s on my 87

Re: 17" Wheels? Anyone?
17s are the ragged edge of what I normally find appealing on a truck, but I'm a 4x4 guy too.

Re: 17" Wheels? Anyone?
Do ya'll think 235/65-17 all around would be too small? There is a large variety available seemingly so prices are good...

Re: 17" Wheels? Anyone?
yea if you search the 235/65/17 is pretty widely available...and for good prices.. but if you're suggesting the 255 on an 8" wide, then I suppose 235 would be good on an 8 too
