Hi everyone, my question is what would look better 35's on 17's or 20s. Is there any advantage? I'm considering ko2 or nitto ridge grappler. Thanks for your input.

What would look better to you is totally subjective. I can say that given the current trend, most people will say that 20's "look better."
For performance and comfort, 17's will be better.
  • More sidewall (cushion on-road, moldable offroad)
  • Lighter wheels and tires (lower un-sprung weight=less power sap)
  • Available in lower load ratings (C-Rated on KO2 315/70R17)
The Nitto Ridge Grappler are a really sick tire. Kind of what everyone wanted "Can you make it look like a mud-terrain but sound like an all-terrain?" That being said, they do have a very stiff sidewall. F/12-ply rating in a 35X12.50R20. That is great for puncture resistance, but translates into a bit of an unforgiving ride on-road.

Hey I just put a set of 35" K02's on some 20" wheels. Photos here if you wanna judge for yourself.
