Wheels 18's or 20's?

I have 72 C10 long bed with stock suspension. I want to ad aftermarket wheels and tires.
I see a lot with 17 & 18" wheels.
Can I put 20" or will they rub?
I'm thinking 8" wide.
Any advice?
Thanks

Re: Wheels 18's or 20's?

Everyone likes different setups for their own reasons. I just ordered a set of American Racing TT2's in 18x8 and 18x10. To me, 18's are a in that happy space between stock and big rollers. Plus, I like some sidewall. Nice rims are not cheap and one pothole can cost you a lot of money! My 2 cents...go with the 18's, I don't think you'll regret it.

I prefer the 20's but either would look great

There are plenty of people running 20's on their trucks. I personally like the look of the 18's but I think I (and Agent) are in the minority.

I've got 18s on my truck and like them. However I'm seriously thinking about moving up to 20s. Every time I see a set it makes me want to upgrade.
