17” or 18” wheel on 35” tire? [ANSWERED]

[Martial Fartist]

I don’t believe this has ever been asked before.

But seriously. Aesthetically, which do you think looks better? Also, which would ride better on the road?

I live in Florida, not worried about losing a little bit of sidewall. It will make it out to Utah one day but it’s not going to be doing a lot of crazy rock crawling down here.

Thanks

17s but im considering 18s if i ever want to do bigger brakes. Can't fit anything bigger with the 17s I think.

17's give you way more options. And if you are never really off-roading it won't make a difference.

17s cost less

Thank you everyone. The answer is pretty clear!

We would also say 17s and 35s are a great combo. Many people think 18s look better with 38" or larger.

The TeraFlex big brake kit will fit with many 17" wheels:

And they will stop the bigger tires!

Everyone is basically saying the same thing. So I will be the odd duck. Nothing new….

Its your ride. You want 17’s. Do it. You want 18’s do it. You want 20’s do it.

If someone out there says…. Oh you got to have X. Possibly they will contribute $ to your cause.

If so, pass their name and info on the rest of us. I’m sure there would be some takers.

I like 17" on the front and 18" on the rear, for that raked look (j/k).
