Default 3rd Gen Ram 18's vs 20's

I am trying to decide on getting 18" wheels with 35x12.5 tires or 20" wheels with 35x12.5 tires. I am having a hard time deciding. So I was wondering if I can get some pictures of both so I can see the difference on looks. So please post up your truck and tell me your setup, and also tell me what your choice would be and why. Thanks in advance.

Depends on how you use the truck really. If it's just gonna be pavement queen and you just want the look then you'll probably want 20s. 18s seem to have a lack in wheel and tire selection for our trucks I've found. Tires for 20s will also cost more than 18s even if they're the same overall size (such as 35R18s and 35R20s). If you plan to offroad then you'll want 18s or even 17s so you have enough sidewall to flex and air down with. It really comes down to personal preference. I can't wait to be able to sell my stock 20s for some 17s because I like the reduced cost of tires and the look with more tire sidewall since my truck is lifted

i prefur the 18's over the rest, i had no problem finding any size tire for the 18's and they were much cheaper than the 20's and WAY cheaper than the 22's, i got the complete set new of 18's with the 37's (wheels and tires) cheaper than the 37's (tires only) for the 22's
