What wheel size is best?
Aside from looks, is there any benefit in having 20” rims? I prefer the look of more sidewall, and I also prefer the price of smaller radius tires. My 2007 FX4 has stock 20’s. If I choose to go smaller, will I be causing anything detrimental? If not, how small can I go? I also plan to lift the truck in the future.

The smaller wheels will ride better b/c the tires will have more side wall.
With the newer trucks you can down to a 17" wheel with the perfect backspacing, although with most wheels you can only go down to an 18" that will fit and not rub on the rear brakes.

I Have A 2005 F 150 4x4 And The Tire Shop Told Me That The Smallest Rim That I Could Put On It Without Interfering With The Brakes Would Be A 17 Inch. I Tried For A 16 Inch,, But They Said That There Is No Way That A 16 Would Fit... Good Luck To You!!
