Default Tire selection frustration! Looking for a skinny 33 for my stock 17s
Did the search as usual and results are a mixed bag. Wanting 33s but I prefer the skinnier "cookie cutter" look to the overly bloated look that 285/70/17s provide on aftermarket wheels. I know I don't want 285/75/17s as I am running 3.8L/manual/3.21s. Goodyear MTR makes an odd ball 275/70/17 but its closer to a 32. What does the 285/70/17 look like on a factory 17? Thanks
