3 Different Wheel and Tire setups... no level , rear blocks removed. Which setup is best?

[rathbunr5]

Here are three pictures of my three different wheel and tire set up's.

Pic #1: Factory STX 18's powdercoated Matte Black wrapped in 285/75/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers (35.08x11.24). Rubs SLIGHTLY on the rear crash bar when you are at full lock turning the steering wheel all the way left. No rub in the opposite direction though.

Pic #2: Factory STX 20" powdercoated Matte Black wrapped in 285/65/20 Toyo Open Country AT3 (34.8x11.50). No Rub at all.

Pic #3: Brink Wheels B204 22x10 et 12 wrapped in 305/45/22 Toyo Open Country AT3's. No Rub

With the factory wheels I run a .25" spacer. Again, no level in the front and rear blocks are removed in the rear.

Which set up do you like the best? I like the beefy look of the 18's but I really like the factory 20's the best.

For me the factory 20's take the win.

I cannot clearly see the wheels. Can you post a better picture, possibly with the sun shining on the side of the truck. Thanks.

I said this same thing to myself. They looked okay on my phone but then when I pulled them up on the computer I said to myself they look blurry. I will definitely take some better pictures.

Surprised I'm saying this, but based on photos I prefer the 22s by a long shot.

Photos are funny cause things need to be extreme to look good ime.

Here is a better picture of the 22's.

Thumbs down on the 22". Looks is one thing being practical and being able to use the vehicle as a truck always win out here. 18 or 20's no clear choice have had both.

18s! But all the setups look great!

 

[Graygoose2021]

Agreed, 18s FTW!
I had 20s on 295/60/20, went down to 18s, more sidewall...better ride.

@rathbunr5 I like them all but the 20's get my vote!

 

[My 2ND Ford]

I like the 22's and I am not a fan of that tire size. However for practicality I would go with the 18's , followed by the 20's.

Option 2 looks fantastic.

Not a fan of the 22's personally, but its just not my style. I like smaller wheels/bigger sidewall look, so from an aesthetic standpoint, the 18's look the best by a long shot. That said, I wouldnt want to be rocking MT's on my mainly street driven daily driver, so I'd be leaning toward the 20's for a better driving tire. I dont know how you use your truck, but if its a street driven daily and you just plain dont care about rolling around on MT's, or its not your daily, then i'd go for the 18's 10000%.

for me, option 1 or option 2. i'd say option 2 mostly because it doesn't rub. not a huge fan of the sidewall tread. looks too beefy. but i do like the 18" size.
