Anyone have pics of a Sport with 17" wheels? How do you like the 17s vs 20s?

Hi,

I plan on picking up a Sport tomorrow. I'd like to put a leveling kit on it, and change the tires and wheels. I was thinking going with 17" wheels. I do all highway driving, and wanted a more beefier look.

For those who have made the switch to 17" wheels, how do you like it? Any regrets?

Please post some pics.... :)

Thanks

I have a 13 tradesman that had 17 stock. Leveled the front with spacers and only change I noticed was stiffer when went over speed bumps. Finally wore out tread on my tires so I went shopping for rims and tires. Found out with out a lift and changing factory ride the only way I could get enough rubber around the rim for a decent look was 17 or 18. I went 18 with 305/65 nitro Terra grapplers. Very satisfied the combination.Ride is just as comfortable as stock with a little better handling d6c3a2dc87493ab685de25dbca305952.jpg252a6fd64382836f65e5b8b901a2714a.jpg

Those Nitto Terra Graps are bad ass. I highly recommend those.... you should get 85K out of them.
