Which would look better? 265/75/16 or 275/70/17? I already have 17 inch wheels now so if I went 275/70/17 it would save me having to buy new wheels. Just want to know what everyone things. Post pics of yours.

Stick to the 17's. Far more tire choices available for 17's than for 16's
 






Yeah I'm thinking about Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2 in 265/70/17.
 






^^^^^ I want those tires... but i dont need tires anytime soon. my tires have less then 3000 on them...

+ i wish i had the 17'' rims so bad on my X
 






Caldwell, what kind of HID's do you have? I want to get new lights too. I can only find one kind of housing for them.
 












That's 3 for the 17's and 0 for the 16's so far
 












I don't think you will find anyone who will rightfully favor 16's over 17's.... :scratch:

I prefer the look of more rubber and less rim on any vehicle riding on AT's or MT's.

i found a very good website called hidcountry.com I have 3000k in my fogs and 20000k as my hig beams best things I ever bought and at a resanable price. The normal hid package from that site will fit into your x no problem.

i have 8000K low's and fog's... got mine from www.hidextra.com

search for my thread ( hid kits cheap ) theres a promo code for a 20% discount... when you use the code, it will help my friend out with his sponsorship for his show car...
 






Ok back to tires, if I get the 265/70/17 tires will I need to lift it? Will there be any rubbing?
 






Nevermind I looked it up, they'll fit.
 






they will work just fine fella
