Ok i want to know why some people put huge rims on big tires. Wouldn't you want a smaller rim so you can have more sidewalk? I totally have nothing against bigger rims they look bad ***. But I'm gonna get some 35s or 37s soon and I think a smaller rim like a 17 would be better than a 20 inch rim. Plus there cheaper. I'm asking y'all is there a plus to having a smaller rim cause you have more sidewall? Please educate me on this?But be nice haha

 

Where I put sidewalk I meant to put sidewall but I'm sure y'all figured that out

 

I have 17 inch rims wrapped in 33" Nitto Mud Grapplers. I like the look of smaller rims personally

 

bigger wheel is usually for the looks, The only real advantage of going with a bigger wheel is so you can fit bigger brakes but even then you dont have to go huge to get bigger brakes. more sidewall with a smaller wheel is great especially if you plan on using your truck to tear up the trails.I myself love the looks of bigger wheels cars/trucks alike but there is definaltey a too big look. There is a picture flaoting around here somewhere of a DSG fx4 just like mine with 24in monsters and drooled over that thing the forst time i saw it.
haha I dont take my truck off road much

 

The rule of thumb is to have a rim now more than 1/2 your tire size. ie: 17"rim=34+ tire. Of course this is only applicable to people who actually off-road, it's supposed to help prevent flats and cushion your ride. Also allows more flex when airing down.

 

24" wheels 17" wheel's, it all depend's on the look you want and how deep your pocket's are!

 

big wheels are only 4 looks.

they do help handling a little but the ride is rougher...

i put my 17's on for the winter, but i miss the look....

 

That is the fx4 i was talking about with the 24s. I freakin love it.

 

Appreciate the response guys! Ya I do have to admit those 24s are sweet!!! I do have one question for you guys and the only reason I'm asking is because I'm here to learn cause I do not want to make a mistake when spending the kind of money I plan to about sixty days.

I read in the tire wheel figment guide on here that are bolt patterns are 6 by 135 mm. That means I have to go with a 6 by 135mm rim correct?? Cause I almost completely forgot about that and ordered a rim that had a different bolt pattern!!!

 

Yes, watch the backspacing too.
