And inspite of what Mr new guy says, I'd go with 16's for three good reasons...
1 More sidewall for rim protection (if you're planning on doing any off roading)
2 More selection
3 16's are generally less expensive than 17's
Grant, that's my way of saying welcome... & you might wanna get that ummm "noise" (I'm guessing CV's & or front bearings...possibly rear bearings too) fixed before you go dumping dollars into new rims etc...unless of course you have deep pockets.
The noise is not bearings. Bearings have been checked and serviced/packed front and rear. The Cv's were replaced by Denver Isuzu. But I dont want to thread jack anymore. Pm me if you have more info on my VX
