Default 17's anyone?

Has anyone put 17's on they're fridge? I'm debating on size, I want 18's, but we have crappy roads but I don't like the size of 16's on the box.

the hubcaps are essentially 17's, go measure them and they are a 17" dia. because the extend over the wheel lip. So if you wondering h ow 17" wheels will "look" they will look essentially the same as what you have now with the stock steel wheels and hubcaps.

the plastic wheelcovers extend beyond the steel wheel lip? that's the only way it would be as big as a 17"wheel

I know they make it look like 17's. I meant to ask in my first post if anyone has any pictures. And also what size tire.

17's would work best for me I think, plus I'm planning on dropping the car 2" as soon as new springs are available.

These are 17"s if you want to see the look of them. I believe he posted his tire size as well in the thread.

i think 17's with the TRD springs and 205/50/17's are the way to go. just the right amount of side wall and drop for my liking.

I even posted in that thread. Jesus.

Anyway, I like the way those look, not the wheels, but the size looks good.

the face of my 17 inch alloy wheels is 18.5 inches. 17 inch is the diameter of the wheel without the lip. The face of my 15" winter alloy wheels is 16.5" 17 inch alloys will look quite a bit larger tha the 16 inch steelies with plastic covers
