Found a set of take offs for a good price. Wish I would have asked for dealer to swap these on. Came from the Jeep world and really want to do a 255/75/17 KM3 for now, but man I do not want to loose this MPG and peppyness of the little Hancooks! lol

They do indeed look very nice on that color. They also allow for more tire options than the 18"s do.

I would have gotten those had the truck paint not also been Magnetic, and more importantly were available with the options I wanted in another color that was within 1K miles of the dealership when I was ready to buy... :confused:

Ok I just ordered some wheel spacers and a pedal commander so I will be ready for a little larger tire.

I actually liked the original rims you had, when viewing online. My wife "knew" the Magnetic ones would look nicer on the Platinum White truck, so I went with those. Great decision. I should listen to her more often...

If you want to change tires and still get good MPG the i would recommend the Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 in 265/70-17. I have that on my truck and it does well on both street and offroad. I also have the Old Man EMU lift and MPG only dropped by .5 at best.

I like that look! Same truck here. The big 18" wheels just don't sit right with me. I've been looking for a good 16" to swap out but I may end up going w the 17".

Same here and I ordered mine, not sure I could have specified the 17's but like you say might be too much magnetic. Love them on the blue.

I have the same wheels you originally had but didn't care for the machined look. I ended up just powder coating them until I can find a wheel I like better.

Did you notice an improvement is the smoothness of the ride going from 18" to 17". I had a Ranger with 17"' for a loaner an it seemed to be less sensitive to crappy pavement at low speeds. Mine has 18" with stock Hankook's and I run them at 30 psi.

I made the wheel and tire swap part of my deal. Truck was ordered with 17” Magnetic. Came with 18” chrome and Kook’s. Made dealer swap them with another truck on lot for the 17” Magnetic, then I got Toyo open country AT2 AW that dealer installed. P265/70R17.
