Default Make my 17's look bigger

Does anyone know a good way to make my rims look bigger? Right now I've got 275/60/17s on it. I was just thinking about putting a skinnier tire on it and doing like a 3/5 drop or something. Ideas anyone?

if you are going to go ahead and buy new tires you might as well go ahead and buy new wheels while you are at it.

Thats a good idea. Maybe I'll just go ahead and get 20s
Not to mention I just bought a set of tires not too long ago. Might as well wear them out. Or what about this idea. I know that to make chrome last longer you take it off in the winter. The rims I have now are polished aluminum so i could leave them on in the winter and put on the chrome ones in the summer....

...and that's a quick way to not get help from the other members.

I have to agree with Y2k here, if you're going to go through all the trouble, why not just sell your wheels and go bigger? It makes perfect sense and is possibly cheaper.

here's an idea find a good size stick and sit on it. Y2k WAS trying to help but u had to be an *******. IMO id save your pennies a little longer and fork up for the look your really after and sell your 17's while your at it.

Haven't you guys heard of wheel stretching? You can now make 17's into 18's.
