HELP!! What Rim and Tire Size should I Get?

I'm am debating on a 275/70/18 tires or 275/60/20 tire set. I currently have stock 255/70/17 rim and tires. I know based on the rim/tire calculator that they will pretty much be the same height (about 33''). The 18" combo will run me about $100 cheaper than the 20". Please help me . Any sugestions?. Thanks!!

Go with the 18, tires are much more plentiful in that size and you have a much wider variety of options. Thats why I switched from 305/55/20 (33) to a 275/70/18 (33) what tire are you going after?

I was thinking the Cooper Discover AT3. Kinda wanna get a tire that will be driven on road most of the time, but look aggressive.

Are the AT3 similar to the ATP. I am looking on discounttire.com.

I got the cooper discoverer AT3 and I love them. I've only had them on for 12,000 miles though so I can't speak to the wear of them but you will love the way they look on your truck.

I prefer the look of rubber on a lifted truck. Reason i went with a 35 Pro Comp Xtreme MT on 18inch Metal Mulisha rims over 20inch rims. These tires are not cheap compared to Costco or Walmart tires. Purchased 37s Pro Comp Xtreme MT2 for my 250. Looks mean, handles well and wears decently.
