Wheel questions
Why would one choose a 15" wheel over the stock 16" ? Just curious. I was looking at purchasing some Mickey Thompson Classic II's. I would like to go w\ a bigger tire than my 265/75/16's. Maybe to some 285's if I were to purchase 16" wheel. I don't think I could fit 33/12.50/15's underneath w\o rubbing though. Hmmm....decisions decisions....money money money.....
I just love buying things for the 4Runner, don't you

Yes, they'd certainly be less expensive. The overall weight of the tire and rim would be lighter, which means they would move and bounce easier, possibly making a smoother ride over bumps.

Just a side note... if your runner came with 16's stock, you can't go down to 15's. The brake rotors are made for the 16's and are too big for 15's to fit over.
