Wheel/Tire recommendation?

Hi,

I have an 07 SR5 V6 with the stock 65R17 wheels/tires and I would like to continue to use those for the winters here in Boston but I want a more attractive, and maybe even better handling set for the summer.

I'm not a fan of bling of any sort so I dont want big 22 inch rims. I like subtlety so something with either a gun metal or black finish would look good I think.

What I want is something to fill out the wheel wells better and sit flush with the fender flares, or even stick out half and inch to an inch.

Basically I'm looking for rims that are wider, not necessarily larger. I would want lower profile tires to go with them so I'm not sure if an 18 inch rim would look too small on the truck.

Do you guys have any recommendations or maybe some of you already have setups like this? Should I be concerned about the stock suspension at all if I go wide?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

-Avet

Threads merged. You're right -- see Rule 8.

I run 17-inch Sequoia wheels with 265/65/17 stock Dunlops. They are wider and give the vehicle a different look. Not sure if that's what your looking for?? You could also grab some BBS's in 18 or 20 inch. I personally like those alot.
