Opinions from the Pro's

My last PSD was an 02 and I had a set of 295/75/16's on 10 inch rims. Loved the look and performance, with no lift. I now have an 05 PSD with 17 inch wheels. I am considering going back to the 16's but am willing to go with 17's or 18's. What would give me a similar appearance to the 295/75/16's but in a larger wheel? I dont want to add lift, so that is a factor. I am willing to go with a D load rating as I never pull anything over 2500lbs. Thanks in advance.....

With an 05 or later, the minimum wheel size you can go down to is 17", due to the larger front calipers. There has even been one report on here of an aftermarket 17" wheel that wouldn't fit, but I believe all the others I've heard about worked fine.

Well that answered that question, thanks. Any idea if there are similar options in tire size for 17's and 18's?
