big trucks look great with big wheels as long as they are not ginormous, but 20s with 35's look really good on a full size truck

I would agree with you 100%. If my photoshop trial didn't expire, maybe I could have PS'd it.

I wish I could see these wheels mounted in 18's on 35's to see if they look too small.

My wife likes the Cheyenne 8's. It's hard to picture this truck a little lower but here is a new Chevy with them on Baja Claws:




and it's obvious I am bored at work

Bigger wheels need bigger tires. Otherwise you just look like youre trying to DONK a truck. Shit looks stupid.

The Cheyenne 8's are the best looking ones I think too. Only thing, more than likely the Cheyenne 8 is for 8 lugs, the 6 for 6 lugs, and 5 for 5 lugs. So you will have to run the 6's.

I don't know if you've purchased the lift yet for the truck, but I've seen the procomp go for 999 on ebay at a store called lift kit kings. I was thinking about lifting my F-150 since nobody around here has a HD 150 lifted. I was going to go with a 35 with 18 combo. The tires are considerably cheaper going 18 than 20. Rims are about 100 more each for a 20, and tires about 75-100 more each for a 20.
