Needs to go bigger.

I'm not talking about the tires. I'm talking about the wheels.

Nothing unusual. People that buy SUVs rarely take them offroad and many people slap much bigger chrome wheels on them.

Does the rear wheel look smaller than the front?

Ha ha, big ghetto chrome wheels with low profile tires and off-roading do not mix. I never understood the fad of big chrome wheels on SUVs.

Those wheels were stolen off of an 'scalade, and they weren't missed.
