I have 18" wheels that are 9.75 inches wide. The decision on this size was scientifically made, I saw them in a pawn shop. Screaming deal, woo hoo!!
I soon dumped the tires that were on them so I could go with a 35" tire, and of course changed the gears, and added an aftermarket LSD.
Oh yeah, those turned out to be some really inexpensive wheels...

seems like all the good looking rims are in 17,18, or 20 inche sizes.. im wondering if there is much of a choice for these sizes for tires? i would like a studded set of tires for them for winter.. or maybe i could run studds on my 16 inches that are stock and get aftermarket 16" ones and put the tires that are on the stockers on the new rims.

I still have my stockers, may do something with them. The local 4x4 shop has an X with twenties and he recommends that to NO ONE. With sidewalls that short the ride is very harsh. He is going to be changing those out.

I have a 6 inch lift, 20 inch wheels and tires. It is a rough ride, but what I expected. Not sure it would be any different with more sidewall or not. At least with a 35" tire, you still get alot of sidewall. Probably step it up to 37s when these wear out.
