Default Can't decide! 18's or 20's?

I am stuck between choosing 18" or 20" wheels for my white truck. I'm getting Fuel rims in black with 33" Nitto terra grapplers. Help with why I should go with what setup?

See that's the thing I don't go offroad very often but I would want the truck to be able to perform if I do.

20" look silly with anything less than 34" tires.

If I did 20" it would either be a 305/55/20 tire or 275/65/20 (34"). I'm just wondering if 18's would look to small on my screw long bed.

18s will look too small, 20s for sure. I went 24. 20s are more than capable off road, I kept my stock 20s and put Cooper discover m/s tires on for winter and I can go through anything.

Don't buy the 20's. Buy the 18's, Rubber will be SOOOOO much less expensive & won't look much different on the truck.

I would pick an 18 over a 20, because of cost of tires and perforce of said tires(more sidewall) its all personal preference really. if you dont plan on putting an aggressive tire on your truck and not drive much offroad, the 20's do look better ill give them that. not to say a 20" wheel and a nice tire combo cant perform, they can and do, i just like having a bit more tire to wheel ratio..

I'd go 18s, but it's almost all personal preference
