Wheels and Tires...Decisions decisions

Hi I have a 2001 SCrew and I was wondering what wheel/tire combos look good. I want either 18s or 20s with 33" MT or very aggresive AT tires. Thanks.

Just wanted to show you my setup. I have a 2002 SCrew FX4. These are 20x10" Motto wheels and 305/55/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers.

Just a side shot to see the wheels and stance:



Close-Up to see the tread and how the tires sit:



You can look at my album to see more angles if you'd like. Hope this helps.

I would recommend either a 20x9 or 20x10 wheel (not very much more expensive than 18's), and a 305/55/20 Cooper Zeon LTZ..

Zeons are more aggressive looking than Nitto TG's IMO, and a little cheaper in most places.

Yeah, I'd go with 18's and 33's or add a body lift and go with 35's on 18's or 20's.

Not to thread jack, but Wandell, would I be okay with 35x12.5s with my 2wd w/2.5 AS and 3" BL? Keep in mind new wheels will be 4.5" BS

Yeah I'im leaning more towards the 18s becuse of the price of tires but if I could find a nice set of 20's I would probably get them. Ill wait to see more pics of other setups before I decide.

I think you will have some serious rubbing unless they are 8.5 inches wide or narrower.
