Oh yeah? Because of the bolt pattern? Never thought of that. Thanks I'll look into that. I hope I can because I like the "meaty" look.

Caliper clearance and rotor size would be the issue. But whiskey may be right that 17 may be smallest size. Have to dig on the forum.

Ok thanks guys! I'll call the dealership tomorrow. 17 inch would still look great.

17s still give a good look. Lots of sidewall. It's on my eventually list.

I had stock 16s on my 98 and have 18s on this '14. Personally for me 18 is perfect. Enough area for the brakes to keep cool so the brakes aren't tight in the rim while still giving you plenty of sidewall. I myself also like sidewall, even on a car (especially a muscle car). I've never been into low pros, especially on a truck or SUV. I wouldn't put rims bigger than 18s unless it was huge tires like 44s or bigger than I could deal with 20s or even 22s.

I think the 18s look good on these trucks. I have 17s on mine and they look too small. Amazing what 1" of rim will do.

 

Sams club is advertising 275/55/20s for right at $1000 OTD on these. I'm kinda chewing on it vs waiting another 6 months to get mine. I've got bridgestone HTs on my 17s now that have at least another 6 months life on em.

 

So if rubber is about to skyrocket I'll go ahead and act.. if not.. eh.. I'll wait. I saw a colorado with the KO2s today and he'd been in the mud. These tires look great with mud on the sidewalls.

Yep, it's the brakes that will cause clearance issues. As a rule of thumb, I've always heard to check the spare tire on your truck. Usually, they will put the cheapest wheel/tire combo on there....which is usually the smallest rim diameter too. 17's with some 285/70/17's would look good. I had those on my 2009. Check out my gallery if you're interested.
