Default Buying new rims

All,
I am having a really hard time on what size rims to buy i am going with monsters and thinking about an 18" I think 20" just look like to much rim and not enough tire?
could use some feed back.

Paint or powdercoat your stock rims. Then put the money you save into other mods.

If that's not big enough you could get the big tire big wheel combo like xill he has 24's and 38's you should go for that....lol j/k

Really like Creative off road his truck is right at what I wanted to do. Anything more then 35" is just to much for me but do like to look. I think he has 6" lift mine is only a 4" CST and 1" in the rear.

they do fit the tires you have now are 33's so you need a total of 2 inches of lift to run 35s and you have more so it gives you more clearance than needed.

you can clear 35's with just a level... but theres not much room to flex if you go offroad.
the monsters are a really good lookin wheel...
i am very happy with the tire to wheel ratio look of my 35's on 18's. plus, 18" tires are cheaper than 20" tires... thats more mod money right there

Thanks guys for the imput, I may just run 18" with a nice 33" or 34" just to keep it simple. I had thought about putting a 3" body lift on but will have to see.
Christmas is here and then taxes oh my!
