Default bigger rimes on a z71 ?

i was thinking of some 20s but dont want that stupid look , i want an offroad style tire just with bigger rims . should i go 20 or 18 maybe ? i have the 17s on there now and i could also stay 17 but get some rims and use the stock tires and save money , what do you guys think ? anyone got any pics of 17 , 18 or 20 on a z71 ?

i had 20's with a 285/50/20 tire and i didn't think it looked right so i bought some 16's with 285's. i am currentley kicking myself in the *** for not trying to jsut buy some bigger tires. i miss my 20's. plus to add to my pain BFG just released their 20 inch A/T tires!

i first was just going to get aftermarket 17s and use my 17 inch tires but then i saw 20 and 18s for the same price , just buy tires with them and get a different look but i dont want it to look wrong. when you have a z71 your not exactly looking for that sport truck look , i think you need to keep it offroad looking.

Don't do it man... IMO bigger rims and tires are for lowered trucks, I would say 18's max. I think 20's would look weird. There's a kid around here running 19's on his ZR2 Pickup, and I laugh every time I see it.
