Default 20" wheels question

for those of you with the 20" factory wheels, how easy is it to scuff them up on curbs, I have the 18inch wheels and every now and then when i back up into my drive way ill rub up on the curb, is there enough side wall on the tires with 20" wheels, or should i stick with my 18s....thanks

If you can't stay off the curbs I'd stick with the 18's.

I have the 20's and haven't got any scuffs yet but I'm VERY careful.

I have the 20's, hit my fair share of curbs and have ZERO scuffs on them at this point. Sometime the truck is just longer than I anticipated
