Any pics of these installed on your van? Just wondering how the ride quality is now, and handling. I was considering 225/65R17 as it's almost the same height as stock for my 2005.
Ride is much better then the xtra loads I had on it, handles well, seems quicker in excelleration and braking. I think getting back to OEM dia with less rotating mass vs the 235 75 XL is the key element. Now the test will be Tuesday I get loaded with 1500 + lbs will see how the tires handle the weight.
I post some pics of the van with wheels on but she needs a bath....
Yeah, the offset and backspacing, maybe even rim width is different than stock. But those wheels suit your van nicely. Are they gunmetal gray or graphite? I always like the look of those colors on a white vehicle.
Well the tires did fine under load, I came back with 1500 lbs in the back and it handled it fine......
