    Not enough.
    I'll stick too 16's or 17's at the biggest. Bigger rims equal less sidebite, next thing you know your stuck in mud or sand driving a 4x4 rig with what looks like off-road low pro tires....but I guess I could be wrong, since thats the look most people are going for these days. All show no go. BUT its your truck do what pleases you man.

    Too many mods to list
    He did specify on his first post that his truck is a 4x2... so since he wont go off roading the rim size dont really matter.

    Id say go for 18s if no lift. However, with the lift you are getting, 20s will probably look better.

    Amen! I like how I catch fire with all the street queen comments because I have 33's on 20's yet I have just as much sidewall (and better tires) as the stockers. I agree that 33's on 16's would be better for offroad but don't fool yourself into thinking 33's on 20's can't!

    If you have a 2wd then I wouldn't be concerned with losing merely an inch of sidewall by going with a 20 instead of an 18 with the same circumference tires.

    18s were on mine when I got it so making due for now with lift and 32" Duratracs but larger than 18" diameter rims or any size with low profile tires on prerunners or 4x4s looks retarded IMO. You can't cover everthang at once... pick one - street, AT or off road. Xrunner or regular truck, cool, do it. Prerunner or 4x4s need some sidewall or it just makes you look confused and misguided to me. But yeah, do it, go 24s with a rubber band looking tires dadonkdonkdonk, if the chicks you dig dig it.

    I agree with this. If the 18s hadn't already been on the truck when I bought it, I woulda went with 17s. Better selection of brands and sizes of AT/MT tires as well as being cheaper than 18" tires.
