i think the 17s are too small too, but for a Raptor, 20s would be my max size

Yea 26 probably a bit much, just wanted to see what it would look like though, maybe 22s. Thought the raptor would have a larger wheel opening or at least be lifted higher due to the massive suspension travel and be able to handle bigger tires well.

Why would you buy the ultimate offroad vehicle from Ford and put that size rims on it? That would ride so hard!

So yes, it would look silly.
Lolol!! You contradicted yourself so much in this statement... You say it would be ruining the capabilities of the "ultimate offroad vehicle" yet just above mention that he should run 60" tires? Do you even understand that those tires would ruin the capabilities of the raptor even more than big wheels?

Saw that one a while back. I think it looks Awesome!!

Whatever happened to '...as long as you like it that's all that matters.' ??? Where is the love?

I don't think I would put those wheels on a Raptor either, but if it makes you happy go for it!

By the way - LOVE your deer guard! I would love to have one myself, but not for deer - for the BMW drivers that think they own the roads! :O

Alot of negativity in this thread.. god forbid anyone ever wants to build a truck that doesnt have black wheels, all terrain tires and a level/lift. This site is proof enough, the f150 game needs a little more variety. Though the guy in the Car Domain link sounded ignorant as hell, he did have a pretty sweet truck, and i have a feeling he doesnt take it off road at all.. so why not increase the wheel size?
