Question 20's or 18's ????

I am installing my leveling kit this weekend and I wanted to see what everybody though would be a BETTER all around combo. I work in construction and I am on and off of wet job sites with bad holes...But I also do alot of street driving and enjoy the good looks of a clean street truck too...

Let me know what you guys think....

The 18 will give you an extra inch of sidewall to protect your rims. Personally, I think about equal between rim and tire is best looking (36" tire 18" wheel).

I had gone through the same decision before but ended up goin with a 18x9 wheel and 325-60-18 tire and it suits my needs. Leveled also, pics in gallery.

I'd slap on some 305 or 285x65x18 BFG's and work the hell out of 'em!

My thoughts...

18's look great with 35's or smaller. 20's on 35's or smaller is too much bling, bling. If u jump to 37's or larger 20's are the way to go.

Talking

Looks like I'll go with the 18's...But with a set of 285/65R18 Terra Graplers

I'm over the whole big wheel thing, I just took my 24's off, they where nice but rode ruff and you always had to watch for holes...

In my line of work I hop curbs and go into pre-developed job sites, I found that the more tire the better it rode...

I'm done tip toe'n around, time to stomp the **** out of it!!!
