Question 33 13.5/18 or 33 13.5/20

33 13.5/18 or 33 13.5/20 i want to know what you guy think. Will it look stupid if i go with the 20's and dont have much side wall or should i get the 18inch and have a little more tire? Please let me know what you guys think.

I personally like the look with a little more sidewall.

Bigger wheels are heavier than tires, so the 20" package is going to be heavier - ask any racer, less unsprung weight is better. Personally I like a 50/50 ratio (36" tire - 18" wheel) or close to that, so a 20 is good for a 40" tire... go with the 18s - off road you need sidewall to protect the rim and the 20 won't give you anywhere near enough sidewall.

You can hear them but it is not that bad at all. From the looks of them you would think they would be really loud. When you turn the radio up a liitle you can't hardly hear them. You will be very happy when you get them. Pictures do them no justice on the looks.

Personally, with a 33 inch tire I'd go with an 18 inch wheel.

I agree, but if u plan to add 35's or larger tires one day I would go ahead and get 20" rims, just my 2cents.
