Hey,

Shortly, ill adding a 1.5" body lift to my bilsteins (set at 2.1). I'm thinking of going with 35s, but can't decide on the rim size. I'm debating going with 17s or sticking with my 20s. Anyway else ponder these two wheels sizes? Why did you choose one over the other? Thanks

I voted 20's. I don't like the look of smaller wheels and real big sidewalls. I have a feeling you might get about a 50/50 split on this

its hard for me as I like both styles. I say on 35's go with the 20's. The 17s just make a 37 tire look absurd!

Depends on your style as well. Do you want the modern itll never go off road look, or the i like the mud giant boggers look?

You already have 20in wheels. Why buy another size wheel. Buy the 35in tires you desire and drive on

20's

Because....they look better.

On both 35's and 37's.

These are the facts of the case.

Actually, I was in this same situation last year. I decided to go with the 20s because in my opinion they look way better. The tires for a 20" are slightly more money. But my tires are under warranty for like 40k or maybe 50k (can't remember) so the difference between r17 and r20 over time are extremely minimal.

17x9 with 35s looks sick to me... Lol guess I'm the minority here.. But as it was said before, it's how you want it to look.

17's is my vote. I prefer the more rubber look instead of a 'Show Case' rim look. Besides with more sidewall its a smoother ride
