35" all terrains - better with 20", 18 or 16" wheels

17s with 35s for actual offroad use.

If you just want to look cool, pick which ever rim gives you a hard on.

I love them on 20's I think it is the best of both worlds. Mine are 34.7 but I am calling them 35 for simplicity and they look amazing.

17s on 35s...only if you wanna look like a bad mother f--ker.

I agree, 17s on 35s would go well with your truck. 20s would give you that "wanna be gangsta" look and 17s will give you the between gangsta and offroad look. ( I prefer the redneck 15s myself lol ) Besides you will have these problems *Poorer turning, rougher ride comfort, extra tire cost, and loss of power with all that extra weight. All due to heavy rims* Plus more rubber will provide better rim protection for those cant avoid curb rubs. For these reasons alone I would not bulk around 20s. But this is my opinion, your taste may be different.

heres a good page with alot of photos
Dodge lift kits

But either way, just be proud of what your driving :)

im trying a 17" wheel on a 35" tire for mine, i have no desire to run 20" wheels on a truck because i believe (my own opinion) a real truck isnt meant to have large wheels on it, the only reason i bought a 17 and not a 16 is because the wheel i wanted wasnt offered in a 16" size. Anyway, do 20s look good on trucks?, yes some. If you have the money for over 1000 in wheels and 2000+ in tires then go for it. haha. Anyway, what would look good on your truck is purely your decision, and i see you made it, 18s on 35s. Im sure itll look good but its just not quite the look im going for personally. HOWEVER, if all out trucks looked the same this would be one boring as **** place!

22's give me a hard on. :naughty:

Yeah but 20s really only look good on 37s or bigger..

im trying a 17" wheel on a 35" tire for mine,

I LOVE all the Meat around a smaller wheel....I may be selling these off at some point soon and going this way but i wouldn't go smaller than 17...reason is there are some brake caliper upgrades that just wont fit on smaller than 17 wheels...

This is 37"s with 22"s 1400.00 per tire/wheel so 5600.00 and no spare lol

Im gonna go to these i think....the chrome wheel and red beadlocks would look great on my truck.....I'll go 17's with 37s or 38s if I go up a little higher.
