For the style I drive, 80% on road and 20% off-road (snow/hunting leases), 16 inch for more rubber than metal between the truck and elements.

I run the factory 18" with a 265/65 18 Bridgestone Duller. I am extremely happy with this set-up. Aggressive looking tire good deflection.

18" is what I run, I love the looks....
BUT, if I had all the money in the world I would change to 16" for off road purposes and selection.
My 18"s can keep up off road fine, but the side walls are not as strong (not a problem yet..), and there is MUCH less selcetion, and tires are more expensive the bigger size wheels you have.

Please tell me you dont have shiny "rims"???????

I am on 16s but wouldn't mind getting some 15's. I USED to have 18's. Just too big for my style. Though, the stock 18s are very nice.

i like the 18" HSE wheels. look very sporty and classy,,,

but not my first choice for a off road wheel. in that regard a 16" would be the way to go.

i had 19's from the new Rovers, but switched a little while ago to an all black 19" with 255/55's. ride is great. i don't go off road, except the occasional construction site, so the 19's are fine for me.
