Do u go off roaring? Mud. Rocks. Snow. Or just mall crawl? That makes a huge difference on what wheel size to get.

I have a 2.5 bb with 35's on a 17inch rim. I like it because it makes the tire look bigger than on a 18.

Its really up to you but more sidewall is better. I wouldn't go over a 18. I'm just running the stock rims. Pretty happy with the 17. Might go aftermarket just for backspacing purposes
