Re: Wheel Choice opinions wanted. Which would you choose?

LOL I guess I'm another guy that likes the stock look best, but than again I'm also old..... If your going with the big rims, photo 1 is my vote.

Good luck with your decision.

Thank you!! And likewise, that's a good looking truck you have. I do like the rally, but I bet those caps are hard to find though.

Would that be the better option?
Go with a smaller wheel to gain more tire (sidewall)?
Your stated goal is more sidewall so...
When you use smaller diameter rims with a tire that has an overall OD (Outside Diameter) close to the 28.6" OD of your present tires a wider sidewall is what fills in the difference...

It's a nice looking truck BTW. Make it the way you want it. The herd doesn't have to drive it you do.
