18s Or 20s


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 2008 GMC Sierra Z71 extended cab. I have the regular 17 inch GMC wheels but I really don't like them that well. I know what leveling kit I'm going to get but I'm not sure if I should get 18s with 33s or 20s with 33s. I need a little help on finding more wheels. I like the moto metal wheels and the XD wheels but I really haven't seen anything better. Any help would be nice.

20s with 33s look perfect on GMT900 trucks....

 

What kind of wheels are you looking for? Chrome? Machined? Black? What color is your truck?

I'm looking for chrome wheels. My truck is white

18's max!

 

Wanna trade? I am sick of chrome, too much upkeep.

 

Yeah, at first I was thinking 20s with 33s, but then I saw my friends truck with 20s and 33s and it looked way too low profile. I want my truck to look like a 4x4 not a city rig. I keep changing my mind about it

One thing about 18's....tire selection is much less than 17's and almost all A/T 18" tires are Load "E" range, which means they are VERY heavy.

.........what he said. I like the 18's but the tire selection goes down. I have th z71 18s on 275 65's with a RC leveling kit.

I have been looking for my next set of wheels and ran into the same issue. After searching I noticed that there are more options with 17's and 20's. But it depends on what look you may be going for. Post pics when you get them.

I like 20's with my 35's!!!

But I think that 20's with 33's looks sweet!

 

I am not a fan of my 20's ( Would rather a different style but they were on the truck when i got it!)

I have 18's on mine with 285/65's on them. Like them alot. :confused: Plus 18's have alot more sidewall imo. Looksmore beefy. :D

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
