Eagle 026 Alloy w/Nitto TG,would they look good?

Well I will be using my upcoming tax return for new wheels and tires (finally) and I am so torn, 18,20,22". But I think I will be the most happy with a 20x8.5 with an all terrain tire, and that being some Nitto Terra Grapplers. The one wheel that I seem to have liked the most is the Eagle Alloy 026 (what Wandell has on his Expy). I was going to get them in 22 when I "was" going for the street look but I think I want to be in the middle soooooooo do you think the Eagle 026 (20s) would look good with some 305/55/20 Nitto's or do you think they look to "street" for AT tires? I think the 026 look smooth, not to flashy; almost a OEM look.
All the pics I have seen with the Eagle 026 have been with a street tire so its hard for me to get a good visual.
FYI my second choice would me MB Motor 6 in chrome.
So what do you all think?

I agree. I think the 026's have too much of a street look to work with Terra Grapplers. I'd go with something a little more off road looking. But then again, I've never seen 026's with an off road tire.

I never thought what tire/wheel combo I wanted to go with was going to be so freaking hard. I want to do it right the first time. I think 026 with a 45 sidewall tire like yours would look good and fill up the wheel well but, I like the look of some of the 18s with the beefy 4x4 look and 20s with a AT tire also. I have allot of members pics saved for referance but holy crap I dont know right now.
I want whatever I get to go well with the truck you know? I want to get it right the first time. Decisions,decisions

lol, thanks dude not to bad. I think the Gunner 6 is a good looking wheel with a AT or MT tire. Probably 20s with a 33 or 35 Nitto would be sweet. Thanks man.
