Best Wheel/Tire Combo-Opinions
Question guys...need your honest opinion:
I've got an 04 F150 FX4 with a three inch lift and 305x55x20's I'm running Nitto's on it and love the truck but am due for some new rears soon and have been thinking of making a change. So here are my questions:
Question1-Thoughts regarding wheels on truck now?
Question2-Would Black XD's look better or should I stop being a *** and be happy with what I've got?
Question3-Should I go with a bigger tire?
Question4-Each of these tires are about $320 each; I've heard going to an 18inch wheel would give me more options and I'd be able to go bigger for less money. About $100.00 less per wheel.
Question5-If you do think I should go bigger how bad will it affect my gas mileage (not looking for specifics just general thoughts)
Here are a few pics
Thanks again guys... look forward to hearing all of your thoughts..

I'd say keep the Wheels and Get a set of Larger Tires.....
35x12.50 Trail Grappler
No need to spend the money on wheels when you already have a good set of aftermarket ones (especially in todays economy)
