Default 18 or 20" wheels? 02 GMC ECSB Z71
Trying to decide between 18 or 20" wheels on my truck. I am just not sure how good a 20" wheel will look on a Z71 4wd. I tend to think it is a bit much. But then again the Dodge trucks have them and don't look too bad.

Any input appreciated.

I think either will look fine, although you might have better tire selection w/ the 18s. Do you have any rims picked out yet?

I had 20's on my Z-71 and they looked great. Just do some research on what tire size you want. IMO that makes all of the difference.

I have been looking at 285/50/20 and 285/60/18 tires. Looks like the Eagle GTII is about it fopr a 20" but the 18" has a ton of tires to chose from.

May go 18" based on this. What tires have I missed for 20", and what size?
