Am I the only one who likes the smaller rim bigger tire combo ?It seems all the nice looking rims are 20's and higher. Ugh!!! My hat brim is curved people.
I’m with you. I can’t stand the large diameter wheels...I guess I’m old too.

Yep. Better ride quality, lower price, more resistant to wheel image, better traction and a whole lot of other advantages. I'd put 15s on mine if they'd fit.

I like small wheel/ big tire for this vehicle but flat bill for me.

It's funny that years ago, I thought 20s looked silly on anything. Over the years, more and more factory trucks and SUVs came with them as standard equipment.

Fast forward to now and I think most trucks look ok with them due to proportions. I wouldn't have less or more than a 20 on any of my SRT Jeeps or trackhawk. When it comes to offroad Jeeps, more tire, less wheel is still the way to go. 17s max for me.

Professor: “Now class, you’ll see there’s a direct correlation with brim straightness and wheel size...the X-axis represents brims ranging from standard curved to straight-ass douche hat here, whereas the Y-axis represents wheel size increasing from normal to absurd. As the brim decreases in curve, the wheel size increases!”

@ColdSRT - as you’re aware, SRTs/Trackhawks come stock with 20’s...I doubt anyone’s suggesting to roll some 285/65/17s on them ;)

Curved hat brim here too :), but the only reason I'd prefer 17's over the 18's on my overland is due to tire selection. I'm finding I'm way more limited on larger size options. Therefore I'm looking to find some Rubi take-offs to get 17's and an instant agressive look.
