Default New rim options?

I was wanting to know what you guys recommend on wheel size for an 08 z71 4x4? I just ordered 295 65 18s for my factory rims but I know I want to up grade when going to the 6-8in lift. I was just wondering if I should stay in the 18 inch or bump to 20 inch. Where would I have the most tire options? I'm thinking of going 9-10 wide on either rim.

well, i know eagle makes an 18x10 on the 140 series. ( i have it in 17x8 superfinish/black on my 98 yukon)

as far as tire options go, i think you'll be able to get the same sizes on an 18 and 20 but the 18" tires are gonna be cheaper.

I just noticed I had a hard time finding a tire that I liked in the 18. I was trying to get a 33 11.5 18 and I only found two tires in that size. So when I bump to 35s I want options. The good thing is if I find 18s I can put the tires I just bought on them.

All of those look good. Thanks for the pics. I ended up not getting the 295/65/18 dura tracs I ordered. After a week of waiting they still weren't here so I went with the Cooper st's in 275/79/18. I will be getting a 20x10 I do believe in about three months
