As the saying goes "Bigger is always better!" and with wheels it is especially true! I have the Belltech 3/4 drop with 20's and I'm sure glad I didn'd go with 18's. I almost went with 18's since they would have been cheaper but I figured I'll kick myself if they look to small when they got in. I sure would have had I gone that route! Better to spend a little more to be happy than save a few $$$ and have regrets!

Go 20's not much more expinsive, and look alot better. Once you get them 20's dont look that big. Beside you ever here a song that talks about ridin on 18's.

I got the wheels for $1465 shipped with lugs and stems. Tire are 275/45/20 Goodyear GT2. Some people complain about these tires, but I love em. Awsome handling! Tires where $630 from tirerack.com If you want me to put you in touch with my wheel guy let me know. I think his prices are very good

He has told me that any one I send his way will get the same deal

martinj69@hotmail.com

He is very honest and I actually sent a double payment through paypal and it was returned by him very promptly. Very nice guy. I am in no way trying to sell for him, or am I getting any kickbacks. I just want to share a good deal with the rest of yall.

Tell him your from F150 online, and John Lamar sent you
