Lot of guys in the rock crawling world use 20" bead locks but my personal preference is 17" wheels. The extra sidewall means everything

20's aren't as bad as everybody makes them seem. You won't bend a wheel if you hit a pebble, and your truck won't ride like a civic with chopped springs. There are off road disadvantages but people tend to over exaggerate quite a bit. When I had a Tacoma many years ago the members on that forum were the same way "20's can't go off road" etc. One guy had 20's and 33's and he constantly beat on them and never had any issues. Was it the best tire for the job? No. Did he still do more off road than me and my 17's? YES
So I say get what you like. But FYI I distribute BMF and many of their wheels are fairly light but this is not one. This wheel weighs 45lbs
