Personally, I love the look of 20s on 35s, but I know it's not an ideal offroad setup. That's why I'm going to keep the stock 17s for offroad and fun and the 20s for everyday because they look so damn good. Win-Win.

For offroad, 17's beat 20's. Alot of your suspension is actually your tires. Basically you want as much sidewall as you can get. Meaning you want smaller wheels and larger tires. 37's are great, but most will stick with 35's for better street behavior. You can definitely offroad 20's, but 17's are better.

Yea for off road 17"s all the way like max said! I wanted to go with 16" rims but couldn't because the brake rotors are huge on these things so I stuck with 17's. when aired down the tires soak up a lot of the smaller stuff like rocks or bumps and it's smoother with a taller side wall. There was a guy at TRR that ran 20" rims and he broke a bead going over a small roller but then again thr could be from not having bead locks and runnin a low psi. But I'm sure having the 20" rims didn't help!

20x10 BMF wheels with Toyo Open Country M/T 37x13.50x20. Ran 28psi at TRR and the truck was incredible. Rides unbelievable on the street as well. Love 37s and 20stujusy7y.jpg
