Help With Rim And Tire

I'm about to order a 05 250 and have been readiing alot of bad things about the 18' rims with cont.tires. I wanted to upgrade to the A/T for the look and performence in the rain and snow. Do the 17" rims come with better tires and do they fill the wheel wells nice. Thanks for any help.

No matter what rim size you get the tire size (height) will be the same, the bigger the rim, the smaller your side wall on your tire will be. Hope this helps.

Check your tire options before you decide on the rims. I'm not having much luck with 17" tires in either E or D range.

Try tirerack.com for tire options.

So far I'm looking at Michelin LTX A/S and BFG All-Terrain K/Os and neither is all that appealing.

Good luck and let us know what you decide.
