18 In Or 20 In Rims

[Cbarnett1]

ok heres the deal. i am ordering a 2in rough country leveling kit for my 2010 1/2 ton silverado and eventually i want to get bigger tires and possibly rims, but i am stuck on whether to get 18 inch or 20 inch. i have the stock Z71 18 inch rims now with stock 265/65/18 tires. im leaning towards the 18 because they r way cheaper than 20s. help me out! anyone with pics would be great. thanks in advance

I think 20s look better on the GMT900 trucks

I've got some pics of my stock 18 tires and wheels with a 2" level and some pics of the stock 18 wheels with 33" BFG's with level if your're interested in seeing those pics.

18's

^^^^^^^^

stock 18s with 33's prior to the level (i love how the different angles make my paint change color lol)

 

although I was bored of my 18s and went to 20's, sometimes i get bored of my 20s and want my 18s back lol

 

something to consider, i have yet to find a 285 65 18 in anything less than a load e-range 10 ply tire....get ready for a rougher ride

+1. Pay a little more and be happy.

Mark, lose the 20" wheels your truck looked WAY better with the 18s.

Money is one thing but you have to consider the overall lookand ride you want.

With the 20s you will get a rougher ride and it will not look as "off road"

In contrast the 18s will give you a better ride but not look as "street"

So I think what you need to ask yourself... What is the desired look and ride your going for.

My wifes Tahoe has 20s and it looks good

I ride on 18s

What tires did you run in this pic (size/brand)? I think it looks perfect. Any rubbing on the stock suspension?
