having second thoughts on wheels

I was originally looking at getting 17x9 black rhino sidewinders because in all of the pics they look awesome. I had a set shipped to my local discount tire to look at and the 17" look kinda crammed( I guess all of the pics were of like 20" wheels or something). I didnt get a very long look at them so im not sure If I was just over reacting but I just hope when it comes time to install my lift and put on the new wheels and tires I like them...

thoughts?

If your planning on the 6" lift w 35" why dont u go 18 or 20" IMO it looks better than a 17 would. Im sure its in proportion & your over thinking it

I think the 17 will look fine. I have been looking into wheels lately and I was pretty set on staying with 17's, now I am debating jumping to 20's. It sucks trying to on decide wheel/tire combos.

Here is a Taco with 17" sidewinders. It is a Tacoma, but you can still see the 17's mounted on a vehicle.

Depends on if you like that look or not. If your worried now about them being crammed your probably not going to be as happy once they're on the truck. I think 17s only look good on mudders but thats jmo.
