Smokin, Sweet truck! Looks nice!!
I want an all around wheel and tire combo. The 20's look nice, but they just do not hook up. I have slicks and they are cool for the track, but what about the street? I want a wheel and tire combo that will be good all around, traction and looks. I dont think I am going to get that outta 20's with a supercharged 6.0

I do
I understand what your saying, 18s will help out a lot. What size are your tires right now??

Even though i havent started the project yet i went through the same debate of 18s vs 20s. To me, the extra "bling" effect just wasnt worth it when you had to factor in the loss of performance, then the extra weight, extra $$$ for more rubber etc. But im sure you've thought about that BS.
But i still say 18s are just as sweet lookin w/ the right setup as 20s.

A few guys here including myself have gotten rid of the 20's for the 18's because of the weight and the 305/555r option.
305/45-18 really need at least a 9.5, 10 would be ideal, Intro or Boyds can make you widths and backspacing you want.
Ther's plenty of room for a 10 wide wheel in the back with a 6 or 61/4 backspace.
