18" or 20" rims with 33's
 
So im wanting to buy rims for my truck and i wanna get the Kmc xd spy rims. I have a 2.5" in. Leveling kit for my truck. Iv been sitting here checking out what will have a better look. 18" or 20" rims with 33s tires. if u guys got some suggestions or some pics post them

20's for tires will cost more then 18's

either way they look nice.

Personally I like the 18s over 20s. I had the factory 20s before I got my new 18s and I like the look of more sidewall showing. Check out my sig and my profile for some pics of 295/70/18s. That converts to slightly over 34s but you can still get the idea.

UNC Lariat can you post a few more pics of your ride from the front looking back so i can see how the tires look. Im about to buy the exact same size. THX

I have 33's on 20's now but I have been thinking about going to 18's with 35's. To me 33's are just a touch to small on 20's w/level.

Is your truck a 4x4 or 4x2. Either way I'd go 20's but if you have a 4x4 I'd go wit 35's over 33's. I think you'll wish you spent all that money on larger tires in the long run. 33's are small.

295/70/18s FTW. Bought mine about the same time as UNC. And I'm with him, I like more sidewall.

Here is the 20 inch spy with 33's on it. with 2 1/2 inch level up front

Coldbore556 Jan 11, 2011 12:07 PM

Also if you want the spy I would recomend getting the 20 inch because of the way the rim is designed it would look to cluttered with a smaller size! I looked at it for a long time before i went with the 20! if you want a 18 i would say get a more open rim! the spokes on the spy dont look very long with a 18 inch wheel. Just my 2 cents

rllackey, how often are you rotating your tires? You're truck looks and sounds great!

Coldbore, your truck looks amazing as well.

Thanks man. I plan on rotating and balancing every 5K at the oil change. Haven't needed to yet. Put about 1K miles/month on them. That's the plan anyway.
