Default Wheel's, 18 or 20's

It's been going thru my mind, how cool the gx look's with bigger wheel's and wider tire's specially the chrome wheels, seen some gx's with 18, 20's and 22's, at this moment Iam planning for either the 18 or 20, 18 will not change my speedo that much and it looks nice, the 20's is definate the correct size to upgrade , 22's are too low profile and will not stand for a off road ride and ride will be hard due to low profile but let me say it looks coool, I dont want my truck look like a ghetto truck, just cool to look at and cool to ride it , so what you think, advise will be appreciated.

yeah 22's will just about kill any offroading you do.. you'lll have to stick with 20's, actully if u wanna go offroading the stock tires suck too... but yeah.. 22's its out the windows (onroad only)
20's are still good, plenty of tire manufacturers now that offer great wall protection(i think thats what it is) 18's are nice too ... but 20's would be optimal :-D

Default ya all

One note that I forgot, when I mentioned offroad with the 22's, I did not ment rock crawling or inmerse my truck in knee deep water or mud, just the average gravel roads with lots of potholes, eventhough the truck is a 4x4 it never went thru my mind that I will use this luxury truck for offroading just the everyday go to my business ride, little show off.

i have 22s on my truck....from what you've said about what you're looking for i would suggest you go with 20s. the 18s are only slightly bigger than the stock size, but with the 20s you will have the best of both worlds. it will be a little show, but retain a lot of the rugged use. if you check the gx gallery there are some pics of at least one gx on 20s in there. (or you can look at some of the old threads, i know there are a couple with pics in them).
