I think a 20" would be just fine on my truck since it's not off-roaded that much and it does look better. You know that BIRDY and I are all about looks...these trucks already have function.

I won't be running in the desert in the pacific northwest, but if I do I plan on putting the stock wheels back on :)

Are they available without the "****"?

LOL and agreed.

When I first looked at the pic, I was like; "Damn, thats got a lot of valve stems!".

As Swoop stated, this is the rare instance when "****" are NOT a good thing. :peace:

Only reason you should be running a 20" wheel in the dezert is if you're running a tire larger than 39". Otherwise you need the sidewall flex unless you like blowing tires

IMO this is the only time a rim larger than 17" should be on a truck...

I'm all about proudly romping through the desert in mine but, I gotta say....if I were to have a low rider, the Raptor looks the best there too, lol.

I think REPTAR may be a 3rd name joining you guys lol. Buying my '12 Raptor as a DD to drive ~15k miles a year. I'd say 1% or less will be offroading because 150 miles is a lot of off roading when there's not really many places to go around here unless there's some parks i don't know about yet. It'll still get beaten on, and flogged on military base back roads that I drive on every day that are either dirt or pretty bad (though I don't consider that offroading), so 20's may very well be in order with some nice gnarly tires. I really like the look of that one a few pics above with 20's with meaty tires.

I personally don't mind 20's. But unless I just got a hell of a deal on them I would not get them. I have always been a fan of the smaller wheels and bigger tires.
Lego after seeing yours I actually thought about getting your same wheel accept in 18 inch and painting the ring to match the blue on the fox shocks
