Tire & wheel opinions... please

Hi all.

I've been talking with some friends (Brad) and other about what to do on my 2002 F-150 Screw --- For wheels & rims..... I'd like some more advice. Let me tell you my 2 options I have so far:



1.) 17 inch MB motoring Precise wheels w/ BF Goodrich LT 285/70R17 All Terrain T/A KO Tires......



OR



2.) 18 inch MB motoring Precise wheels w/ BF Goodrich LT 285/65R18 All Terrain T/A KO tires......





Now -- Stock --- I have Goodyear LT 265/70R17 --- on 17 inch ford wheels



So -- Which 1 should I get? I kind of like the 18 inch wheels but will the tires look too big? Anyone have any experience here with these options?



Thanks



tj

Do the math the 17" gives slightly less rev/mile which means it is a slightly taller tire.The difference is not major in your choices.I would go with the cheapest setup.
