Hey Everyone.
I have a 1998 4Runner, currently pretty stock. I am going to switch out my 15" rims for 16" OG Toyota 3 spoke rims and tires.
I have contacted a shop for a few other mods (bumpers, wench and shox). They suggested a 17" rim instead, as the 16" tires are getting a bit harder to find and they will cost more, since they are not are popular as the 17". Is this true?
Another question is the swing out for the back. One place suggested one full sing out, instead of 2, one swing out for jerry cans and one swing out for the spare. What's the difference?
Would love some feedback, as well if anyone has any suggestions for a good shop that can help. In the east bay.
Thanks in advance!
