I wouldn't rule out the 17's & 18's yet, Ryan. Your rear wheel openings should be able to handle a 28 or 29" tire which still gives you at least 5" of sidewall....just saying....

Ryan, I agree 100%. Figure out your overall diameters and shop for tires that make it work. Taller tires can be your friend when working the gear ratios, allowing some taller rear gear numbers for play while still supporting good cruise rpm's. Go for the overall look you want to achieve. The way the tire market is today 16's will likely be the next size to disappear from the "normal" sizes. Originally Posted by randyr

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
