Thought I wanted the 18 inch wheel look but after 6 months went to 15 x 10. I think she looks better.

Re: Opinions
I like the 15s better, that's just me. However I might suggest an 8" wide on the front instead since the wheel & tire tends to stick out so much. Just my opinion mind you.

Re: Opinions
It's your truck and it should make you happy by its looks. but since you asked for opinions I would had kept the 18's..just my opinion..

Re: Opinions
I personally like the something in between both. The 18's don't do it for me because the offset is way too shallow for my liking and I personally really do not like the look of 6 spoke wheels. OTTH, I love 9.5's - 10's on the rear, but prefer 8 - 8.5's on the front. Of the 2 you have, I do like the 15's better.

Re: Opinions
You have a nice looking truck, as long as they are holding air, you are going to look better than just about any other truck on the road....It looks good both ways and if it were mine, I would put steelies on it

Re: Opinions
It does better with the 15's,but I also think with bigger rims you would have to lower it and use very low profile tires .

Re: Opinions
You made a good choice! Also the replacement tires will be cheaper too.
