    17's or less IMO. Big wheels look wrong on a truck.

    I think that looks really good there.. Didn't think I'd like 20's but since they don't have rubber band tires its a nice look.

    I have 20's with 265/55. Too thin of a tire. But handles better than a larger tire. Prerunner here with TSS package. I think 18s are the way to go...

    Heres my thoughts but everyone has there own opinions i think 20's look the best! And ive had nitto mud grapplers on mine they are very loud and if you like to be heard a mile away than thats a good choice ,i recently downsized (no rubbing at all any more usteo have 35's) 33' toyo m/ts its a harder compound tire i was told and should last longer than nitto and they are pretty quite compared to the nitto but still have a mudder type howel

    That looks ok, but why get a 4x4? Do you off-road with those rims? That would be an expensive scratch...


    I mean if you want that look and it snows where you live, I could see the point. But it doesn't really snow in Houston. :eek:

    I really like the wheels. Who makes them? These are 20" rims? Do you know the width and offset?

    I love my 20's, blacked out enkei wt4'2, just need bigger rubbers on them. The rubber on them now is what came on them when the guy traded me for my stockers.

    What size tire are you running? been keeping an eye out, trying to keep my options open for when i finally need new tires. Thinking about 275/65/20? Or 275/60/20. whichever is cheaper at that moment.
