Go 17's. A lot cheaper and more choices than the 20's

I like my 17s with 35s. the thought of going to a bigger rim never crossed my mind. i might be a city boy but i like playin in the slop and prefer function over looks.

I have stock 17"s what's the biggest size tire I can go with. I plan on just painting them and then adding bigger tires, to have around for winter

i had the stock 20's with the cooper zeons and then i put a body lift in and it was cheaper to buy new 17's and 35's then it was for 35's on the 20's. once i went with the 17's i noticed my truck handled better and took bumps a hell of a lot better! id hit a bump on the highway with the 20's and it would throw my truck all over the place.. scared the ---- out of me a few times.

not to change the subject but how do you like the toyos? im in the market for new tires and im stuck between the toyos m/t's and bfg m/ts. i can get the bfg's $30 cheaper each tire than the toyos but ive heard nothing but good thinngs about the toyos.

Go with the 17s, I'm happy with how mine ride and perform. got them from a guy on craigslist who was dropping his truck and going back to 20s.

if thats what you wanna do man, go for it.


Hell, my truck is a 2wd, with 20s, and its far from a "city boy" truck. Rim size has nothing to do with what the truck can do.

these are big trucks. putting little bitty wheels on em looks goofy because everything else is so big.

Im actually probably gonna go with a 22/35 combo when these tires wear out.
