I like centerline 20s since theyre really light and dont affect performance negatively. The lower cross-section of the tire helps with cornering but theyre not heavy enough to really slow you down. Also helps that theyre cheap

i've never had anything larger than my current 18's. I never cared for the huge wheel look, although some trucks pull it off great! i went for the performance side of it and to me 18" looks good and they give us plenty of sticky tire options.

18's on a lowered truck look perfect IMO.

I think it depends on the body style too. The 800s pull off 18s well but they look too small on the 900s. 18s for 800s and 20s for 900s IMO

Yep I love my farm tractor! It's opinion based, not retarded if u like the truck n how it looks and have money to fix it if it brakes who cares! I have 26's n the truck looks good. Now I'm going 22 tbss replicas and it will look better? Out of curiosity what tire profile were u running? I see if u have 30 series but a 35 or 40 shouldn't have any problems!

Tire size is 305-45-r22

I got the rims and tires very very cheap off a friend, so I'm guessing it's because there poorly made.

Ive been rolling on them for so
Long I forgot how good a truck rides and performs with stock wheels

Yeah should be good. I have no issues with my wheels but they are quality rims! Dub bomber 6! 305/30/26 ride is a little rough but as previously stated I stay in top of toe alignment, camber, issues so I think that's why my suspension is still in tact

ye I also bought a set of rims off a buddy of mine for real cheap. That's the only reason I have twenties. I wouldn't go any bigger than 20's on anything. Wish I could find a set of 17's.
