Well in good time i will call rubber god ryano but thought i would ask the question, pick up new truck tomoz and ofcourse they are all running the new 17 inch rims. I'm led to believe more and more companies starting to work with the bigger rim and hoping this i the case so they are not dear as poison.

Hoping MTZ are made in a 17 inch 33 equivelant 305 or atleast 285.

any experience with this or knowlege????????? :armsup: cheers

and i did search and found fark all :D

patrol alloys are 17x8. I just ordered 285 70 r17 cooper STs for mine. They are significantly more pricey than the ones for a 15 inch wheel, and 16s are in between in price as well as size.

I thought they'd made a mistake with the quote! The 285 70 r17 is about $80 more from memory than even a 35 12.5 r15, and the 285 is only 33.2".

would be worth buying 16inch rims

matter of opinion ;) Too blingy for me, plus once scratched, they look shit. but all chrome rims do.

... also expensive to replace if your buyin from missan, and worth selling to get a free set of tires out of :D

the thing came with the cooper at's which are 95% if anyone wants a set for what money i dont know a fair price that or ill trade them in with ryano...

ye the 17 inch rims on the border of 2 blingy but do look good.

truck overall really is sweet and handles majic and the new black interior and dark greay over the cream ish of the last one is majic.......

speedo on this one is not as far out as the last one so means when bigger rubber goes on will be further out but no major issue i suppose,

I will be getting mtz just a matter of what size and with them it seems no choice the 33 x 12.5 is it really as not going on work truck to 35 equiv.....

ryano hook me up and i have to pay so make it cheap :D :D :armsup:
