20x9 vs 17x9 Wheels

[SZDZMTR]

So far 21 against 9 in favor .....

If you do go for the 20s, be very careful, I have heard the curbs at starbucks can be pretty gnarly.

A larger wheel generally gives a better on road drive/feel.

Yep. Makes all the pot holes, man hole covers, rocks and bumps hit even harder.

Good point!

Some people are not very good drivers (my wife included) and have trouble keeping their vehicle where its supposed to be.

If that describes you, then the closer you get to having balloon tires, the better!

But you cant deny that larger wheels improve road feel and handling.

I agree that the 17's look too small on the Raptor.

So dont get discouraged by the Baja wanna' be's on this forum. (you know the type... the ones who act like they race off road, but meanwhile their raptor never leaves the pavement)

Put on whatever size wheel YOU like and what fits your needs.

A larger wheel generally gives a better on road drive/feel.

And what's your suggestion when Baja legends with 1000s of offroad miles suggest 17s[emoji23] At a minimum, 37s with 20s.

Back to my previous statement...how you intend to use your truck will help make your decision. Plain and simple, 20s decrease offroad performance.

OP please add 24" spinners to the poll options so I can cast my vote.

Sounds like 18" might be ideal
