Re: Pics of 4x4 with 20's, 18's and 17's
17's are ok in my book. They look different but not cartoonish. 18's to 20's and up just look too strange with large tires because the proportions are all goofed up. 40" tire on a 20" rim looks ok. But when you put a 35" tire on a 20" rim you end up with a 7.5 inch side wall vs a 10" side wall on a 15" rim.
Pro's, better handling due to the shorter side wall. Con's, less tire to protect the rim on impacts (rocks if those 20's ever saw dirt or potholes for the mall crawlers) and the cartoonish looks.
Everybody's got an opinion thats for sure. I think the only one I've seen on this site with 20's on a 4x4 is the guy with the completely restored 75 K5 show truck. (up for sale through barret jackson). Sweet K5 but the 20's just don't do it for me. But I will say it goes well with the show truck vibe he was shooting for.
A sweet look is new H2 rims on 37" tires. the H2's are 17". Looks good to me like torque thrusts on a street rod or muscle car.
