Default Whats the best wheel & tire fitment for a 00 Chevy?

I either want 18's or 20's, I can't decide. I haven't seen many trucks in my area with either....could yall post pics if you have them? What wheel width looks best in your opinion? What tire size looks best for 18s or 20s?

I'm leaning towards 20X8.5s or 20X9s with 275 45s or 295 40s. I want the wheels to be flush with the fenders but I do NOT want the wheels to stick up under the finders or stick out two inches.

Thanks alot

I run the 275/45/r20 too. Its about 29.75 inches tall. Perfect match for the original stock tire height.

im running 18X9 rims with 285/60 and i love it, no rub (besides the mudguards) and it lifted my truck up like an inch or so, way better ride than stock as well

Check out the tire rack and click on shop for wheels. They don't show a whole lot of wheels but it'll at least show you a truck with 16"-20" on it so you can tell kinda what look you want.

Thanks for the replys....I think I've made up my mind. I'm going to go with 20x9s Arceo Bellestar with 275 45s.
I'm also going to order the Hotchkis 2/4 drop. I also need to find a place that sells roll pans and Gibson exhaust....any ideals?

Thanks alot
