Re: Opinions please...

Opinions on 18s or 20s .. yes. What I'm saying is I like them all. Stock, or bagged and I respect opinions. .. it just seems like this type of post usually turns into 'why you shouldn't lower your truck' .. or 'Why you shouldn't CNotch your truck'

There are posts I read through that say 'Original Survivors Only' Things like that and I just don't post .. easy. The fact is this one specific post started as 18's or 20's. The truck is already lowered ..

Just my opinion. The guy (and no disrespect) who posted 'Keep it stock' has a lifted truck in his avatar (?) I don't get it. IF you don't like 18's or 20's .. just click the back button. That's all I'm sayin.

later ..

Re: Opinions please...

My opinion is do what you like, I prefer the same diameter wheel front and back myself but your'e the one who has to look at it all the time, look at pics of other trucks with different set ups and go with the one that gets your heart racing.

Not offended here. I also did not mean to offend you as well. I usually don't even click on any "opinions" threads because a lot of times... my opinion is probably gonna sting a little.

Not sure why I opened this one.

Re: Opinions please...

Bad, I just visited your profile to see if you had a better pic of your truck to base a better opinion on, and it's my opinion you should stay pretty close to what you have. Nice truck!

But anything you do (within reason=no cutting anything & 20" and under) isn't gonna hurt your truck depending on wheel style choice. jmho

I'm probably going with the 17x8 all the way around. I haven't decided tire size yet.

Re: Opinions please...

I vote 20x8.5/20x10. I had 18/20 combo but ended up selling them to go 20's all around. The whole time I had the 18/20 I wished I had done 20's in the front to.
