  First, trying to size tires and rims is pretty complex - and way beyond what we can discuss here. I suggest you go to either Tire Rack's or Discount Tire's web site. They have done all the homework and can provide properly sized tires and rims. But, again, going up in rim diameter is going the wrong direction for wet and snow traction.

• Re: 2007 Toyota Sequoia tires/wheels [abbylou]

  Written by: capriracer on Mar 8, 2010 3:24:45 AM

  As a general rule: If you go up in rim diameter, you have to go out in tire width, and lower in aspect ratio. Proper done, this will leave the speedometer largely unaffected. But, this is the wrong direction for wet and snow traction.
