Have a 2013 bighorn that will have about 4 inches of lift after my zone body lift goes in next monday. Always been a fan of more tire, less wheel, and was wondering if 17 inch wheels would fit my truck? Planning on going with a 35 inch tire.

If anyone has pics, I'd love to see em! Thanks!

Most lifts require at least a 17" rim so you'll be fine there. I'm also a big fan of the bigger tire. Hopefully have mine posted in a few days if I can squeeze into a shop

17s are the smallest you can go to. I went to 17s and love it. They look better and tires are way cheaper.

There's a way to make 16s fit. A guy did it on here Few weeks ago.. So he could run TSL boggers. Gotta shave the calipers down.

Thanks for the responses, all. Still debating on if I want to stick with the stock 20's or downsize. With my truck having about 3.5 inches of lift total, if I stay with the stock 20's, I am thinking I will go with a 285/65R20 which should be 34.6 inches. Anyone know if there would be clearance issues running these on the stock wheels?
