The resources given seem good. I want to add that I went to 17 inch wheels and along with other suspension changes I think the wheels made a really big difference for handling. A positive difference allowing my wife to drive more confidently on hi ways. Also, made the change to big brakes possible. If looking for a positive easy to do on your own change the GW 16 inch wheels seem like a good choice. But, depending on your current spare carrier you may want or need something like the Van Cafe large spare carrier. That’s it. You can bolt on the new wheels and tires and enjoy the positive improvement. Eric Caron
