Pics of 4x4's with 20
 
2nd try, hope this doesn't show up twice....

First, I did try to search, but 20 is too short to use in the search.

I found a set of black 20's for a good price, but I'm not sure how they'd look. I not looking for any bling, but they are black so they may not be too bad. I like bigger wheels but I'm afraid these may be to much. Anybody got a pic, preferably 4x4, with 20's? They have 35" nittos on them, hopefully they'll work out.

Post em if ya got em!

Definitely planning to put 20's on my truck to, wish this one was mine, they're not black but it'll give you a good idea of the fitment. These are 20x12, I believe truck has 6" lift with 38's.

Each to his own but I like the look of a 16" wheel with more sidewall of tire showing a lot more than those 20's. I don't even like the looks of that truck at all. jmo

I like the 20's on the bigger tires, 35-38 inches. I'm not a huge fan of the 38 inch tire here, looks like too much lift and tire width for me...

Agreed, I thought the 20s trend had passed like spinners. I wish it would. I come from the school that thinks 4x4s need some actual rubber wrapped around the wheels for off road performance reasons. jmo

Everyone definitely has their own opinion on this, I can't personally imagine being so abusive to this 30+ year old truck, that it would need more off road performance than it already has!!! Some trucks are built to be abused, but I'm pretty sure that this one was built to look good and while its not exactly the setup I would've gone with, I would certainly be proud to have it as my daily driver!!!

I'm sure that truck never sees dirt so it doesn't matter but personally don't like the look. To me 20s look like rail car wheels with rubberbands wrapped around them. I like the stance of the red truck (it looks about the same as mine) and I wouldn't mind owning it either, but the first thing I would do is change the wheels and tires.

I think it looks damn good....probably not my favorite wheel/tire combo, but if I bought it like that I'd rock those for sure. My .02

That truck is definately a pavement princess at this point in it's life. As well as it should be, it's too nice to take offroad and bang-up.

So for that particualr truck those wheels/ tires look really nice and do not look out of the ordinary.

Put my 20's with adapters off my Superduty to see how they would look on the 78 but just didn't look right. I ended up with 18x12 Welds with 38" Toyo Mt's for the sand. Obviously we all have our own taste.

Both the red and black truck are very Sweet looking rides. I think the black gets more praise because it is on the dune. I wouldn't hestitate for a second to take the red one to the dunes either.
20" do look a little goofy to me, but not too bad with the 38". As they say "certainly wouldn't kick her out bed for eating crackers".
