17s and 20s on FX4
I have Raptor wheels on the front, which are BF Goodrich AT 315/70/R17 (35" tire) and Nitto Terra Grappler 305/55/R20 (33" tire) on the back. I am going with the Raptors all around because I like the beefy tire look. I wanted to put a few photos up so someone could get an idea for their truck.
I have a 4" Rough Country lift and get no rubbing.
I will not be driving it like this. For comparison only!!

I was wondering myself which size to go with on my truck. I currently have 18's but those 20's on your back look awesome. So I guess your pictures just answered my quetion. Thanks for the pic's.

I have to agree... the new big wheel styles do look slick and all, but they just give me the impression of a road racer and lose all utilitarian value of a true 4x4 truck wheel. Just seems out of place and the wrong match. Then again, I'm an old fart at 44.
That said, I'm happy with the 18" size I have on my FX4 which gives me a nice median between street and off road performance.

depends on what you are doing with your truck.... if you're going off road, 20's are not great. i have 20's right now with 34's and when i'm offroad i worry a little about tearing them up. i think i might go with 18's or 17's in the future. besides... tires are cheaper for smaller rims

Definetly like the Raptors better! Too bad you didn't change them out on opposite corners. It would have been interesting to compare both sets on a front and rear corner.

i'm 18 and i for one love the way the 17's look! Hell as soon as my tires wear down I'll have 17" methods on 34" nittos on my truck. That look imo is so much more rugged than all the low-pro mud terrains you see.
