I prefer a 16 or 17.It allows you to put bigger brakes on if you want but still have plenty of sidewall.On top of that the tires dont cost as much as 20s

There's a Halibrand look a like showing up on ebay pretty cheap in a 15" that looks great on these pickups. I guess a lot of it is going to boil down to what you like and how much you want to spend. The wheels on my C10 came from... www.newstalgiawheel.com

Re: What size wheels help please lol

These are my favorite wheels. I think they are 17's maybe... It's kind of a mix between old and new school. I don't know the specs on them but you could ask Shock_Me.
