18s or 20s for f150???

so ill be gettin my taxes back in about a month and im thinkn about gettin a set of wheels OR tires. im stuck between 18s or 20s. the wheels i like look awesome in 20s but idk how theyd look in 18s. i like the kmc monsters, rockstars, etc. ive also looked up tires for 20s and they are freakin outrageous as hell and if i get 20s id have to save and wait bc i cant afford tires and wheels at the same time ATM. so if i get 18s, what are some black rims that would look ok in an 18 (other than addicts bc another member has them and i dont wanna copy). so does anyone know how the 18" mosters look?

20s look way better in Rockstars then 18s. The 18s are too bunched up.

18s if you dont plan on getting a tire bigger than a 35. 20's if you are.

i dont plan on gettin a tire over 35. ill most likely get the 34" bfg ATs. do you think the mosters would look bad in an 18"? 2 of my friends have the rockstars on their chebys. only person ik of w/ mosters is a buddy w/ 20" chrome ones on his gmc.

My next set of wheels/tires will probably be 17s!

Check load ratings on 20" wheels, a lot of them have lower load capacities that you might care about towing a goose neck. At least they use to, I haven't looked in a while.

Why buy a wheel the same size as what you already have?

20's or keep stockers.

18s and 35s there isnt that much sidewall imo. i day 18s unless you are going bigger than 35s.

idk about load ratings on wheels. i know a ton of people running 20s on 3/4 tons and goosenecks.
