Nice look. I am thinking of doing the same size and tire combo but have not decided on the wheels yet. How did this combo change the ride? Is corning much more wobbly? What about the road noise from the tires? Much more over the OEMs? I assume you have no rubbing with the size you went.

Thanks for the feedback!
 
Yes, I meant your 17 inch wheels. I like the thickness of the tire wall and you will have a lot more tires to choose from just purely from the selection perspective since you went with more truck-like dimensions. I would prefer to have meatier rims, yours look very racer-like. With a heavy-duty rim, this tire would look very much offroad. I attached a few pics from the Pilot forum that i like and this guy inspired me to go with 17 inch. This is a Pilot though. I am thinking between KMC Bully and Raceline Shift, since both come in bronze color and I think it will look gorgeous with a white color that I have.

I am glad to hear the ride is softer and it sounds like cornering ability is not affected much, which was my main concern.My 20 inchers sound loud and they are a bit rough on a broken pavement.

Not sure if this was for me since I posted a picture but the ride may have gotten a bit better as in "softer" with all that sidewall compared to the OEM 20" wheels. No wobble and minimal road noise with the Copper tires. No rubbing.

After some time with the look I'm thinking I should have gone with 18" wheels instead of 17".
