Pics and Information requested: BFG A/T 285/75R16 vs. 285/70R17
Ideally some side shots, but other angles are of course welcome and appreciated...
285/75R16 on TRD wheels
-and-
285/70R17 on factory alloys
Need some help making up my mind, so any input as to handling and your thoughts/opinions on these wheel/tire packages would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
A.W.D.

16s on TRDs vs. 17s on stock? You need pictures to make up your mind?  16s!!!

The silver has 285 70 17
The trd has 285 75 16
Only pic I have of both wheels. Both rigs have the same lift and you can see that the tires are the same height but the trd has ore rubber.

Go with 16's.. the more sidewall the merrier.

The lift itself has little if any effect. The tire size will have effect.

I suppose that would fall more into the category of "ride quality and the like" as well...

Re: Pics and Information requested: BFG A/T 285/75R16 vs. 285/70R17
OK, so "Yeah Yeah, I know..."
...go with the 16" TRD's - 285/75R16 setup.
I keep going back to this in my head. The only thing that stalls me is the cost of the wheels that I could otherwise avoid - but, "F-IT!"
Got to do it, and so I shall...
