17's they're big enough for bigger brakes and still allows plenty of rubber to be wrapped around it, plus 17's are pretty much the smallest that the companies with nice rims go. i'm also not a big fan on big rims either though

20's all the way. Big enough to look great, and still has plenty of rubber. But yes...they come with a $tag!

I've had 20's with 37's I've had 18's with 37's and 35's I've had 17's with 33's and 35's I've had 16's with 33's and 35's and 15's and 33's and 35's

Personally I don't want anything bigger than 18" wheels. I like more tire and less wheel. To me 17's with 35's is a perfect combo

I always views the trucks with the nice 20+ rims as being pavement queens, whereas i have always been of the mind that you are supposed to put your truck to the test. I prefer the look of an 18 over a 20, but I have seen alot of trucks with the bigger rims that look good. If i were to find a 20 that i actually liked, and could afford the rubber for it, i wouldnt be against going up. i like my rims though... so it would take a special rim for me to make a change.
