Thinking of getting new wheels for my Big Horn. I have 20's on it and thinking of going smaller. What are the options of 17's vs. 18's? I do like more sidewall for ride comfort. What are the thoughts of the crowd here?

From what I understand most kits are saying you have to have at least 18’s

More sizes available in 17”, and they tend to be cheaper

You didn’t mention lifting, but with the right backspacing/offset, 17” work just fine

If you plan to move up in tire size, go at least 9” wide

I like the look of the 17s better more tire than wheel.
With that said the wheels I wanted only came in 18s and up so I ended up with 18s.
I dont like 20s and bigger on 4wds for some reason .. Lol

Its all in what you want so get what you like. :)
