I agree with Pharm, If you save up a little money and get the wheels and tires at the same time you will have a lot more options like smaller wheels etc. I went from the stock 17s to 15 inch MB72s. I couldn't be more happy. 1. they look awesome, and 2. I will save so much money on new tires in the future seeing as how a 35x12.50r15 is about $115 less a tire than a 35x12.50r17. I think the smaller rim is completely worth paying over $500 less for a set of tires.

Oh and welcome the forum!

I was just wondering if the new wheels would be fine on the tires i already have? thanks for the response
I believe the monsters are 9" wide. The factory wheels are 7.5" wide. They will work, but will be stretching the factory tires a bit, and may cause abnormal wear
