What is the best wheel diameter for my vehicle?

The best wheel diameter for your truck depends on how you use it and the look you want to achieve.

For Off-Roading

Smaller wheel diameters, typically 16 to 18 inches, are a popular choice for off road use. A smaller wheel leaves more room for tire sidewall. For example, a 35 inch tire on a 16 inch wheel will have much more sidewall than the same tire on a 22 inch wheel.

More sidewall can provide added protection on rough terrain and allows you to air down your tires for better traction and ride comfort on the trail.

For Daily Driving

For trucks that see mostly street use, 18 to 22 inch wheels are a great balance. They offer a smooth ride, plenty of tire options, and still allow you to show off a stylish wheel setup without sacrificing comfort.

For a Show Truck or Bold Look

If your goal is a head turning build, larger diameters from 20 to 26 inches create a bold appearance. Larger wheels leave less room for tire sidewall, but they put more focus on the wheel design and finish.

Other Things to Consider

Think about your typical driving conditions, suspension setup, and overall build goals. If you have installed a leveling kit or lift kit, always double check fitment and size compatibility.
