18" vs. 20"

[4x4Balls]

if you make it bigger using only MS Paint, your image resolution will suffer. you cant really enlarge a picture once its been minted without downgrading quality.

All you can do is make a new signature, but this time make it the correct size.

Well with 20" wheels on a small lift you will be limited to small tires so your truck will look like it is running on mountain bike tires!

They are right. You got two options.

1. Get a leveling kit, and since you off road, you can only get 33" tire on there because a 35" tire will rub when 4 wheeling.

2. Just get a beefier tire for your stock setup.

or 3. Get the 6" lift lol.

Hey thanks for the info!!!! I'll let you know if it works, and when i get 5000 I plan on doing the lift, haha but who knows I might want to spend that 5k on a new toy!?

I plan to get michelins at/2 when time comes for durability AND road manners.

I have 2wd.

I am torn between readylift or adjustable bilsteins for lift though...or leave stock the more I read!

Readilift appears to give just the right amount of rake so nose doesn't go up and middle position of 5100 does same.

My concern are ill effects from either set up such as vibration from lifted shocks or clunking sound on turns from lift I have read on multiple posts. Also long term concerns of ball joints in long run.

Have seen personally leveled trundra, and I would agree that thats how it should have come from factory.

New chevy's/ GMC have less of a rake stock from what I have seen.

Constructive Opinions are appreciated!

OH YEA ON SUBJECT, 18's ALL THE WAY!

255 70 18 now, what is next size taller?

[Blaqk Tundra 67]

I was REALLY leaning towards 18s but then again people say 20s look soooo good.

do you really notice a loss of power, mpg, brake pads??

[kit]

Stock Tundra
285-65-18
275-70-18
305-65-18

Leveled Tundra (all the previous tires and then some)
285-75-18
305-70-18

will take alot of work but a 35-12.5-18 will fit. Some minor mods req.

[Blaqk Tundra 67]

I REALLY need to know



if I get a set of 20 Limited rims, and get a 33-35" tire will that hurt my mpg and brake pad wear

VS.

an aftermarket 18" rim with a 33" tire??

regardless of the wheel size if you get 33" tires it will make a little difference then compaired to stock.

I have 20" Vices will 33" tires and a leveling kit ready to go I just need to make the time to install them now. I am not worried about MPG I just want the truck to look sick,

18's and 35' tires on a procomp 6" stage 1 lift is what im leaning towards. Anyone see any problems with this?

The 4wd gets plenty of use, I'm looking for a powder coat black rim with some beefy tires. Dont know what size rim to get, or tires. Any help is much appreciated. What are some of the benefits of a 20" or 18"?

You'll be fine w/20s if you upgrade to a bigger tire, say 34inch (need a 3"lift though). That'll give you an AR of 65 which is the same as the 18s on the stock Goodrich 32s.

Sounds sweet but at that size you'll be able to go 20" and still hit the trails.
