    The problem I always see when wheels are too big is that ..........when you look at the car/truck, first thing you see is the wheels.
    Using 15,16,or 17's would be the biggest I'd ever go. You want the wheels to compliment the rest of the truck, not take away from it.

    While I think the black truck looks good, there is a lot more involved in that look than slapping some new wheels and rubber on the truck. I agree with sunset that either 15s or 16s would compliment the truck a little more without centering the focus on wheels.

    15s would be the cheapest option (not by much) but want to make sure there is clearance for disks and no scrubline issues should I lower the truck. I have never seen corvette ralleys in 16 up close. Has anyone? Any pics? Are they identical except for the size? I need them in 6 lug, 8" wide...
