so im upgrading to 37" toyos from 35's this week but i cant decide if i should go with a 17" MT classic 2 rim or an 18". any opinions would be greatly appreciated. FYI my truck has a 6" lift

go with 18x10 try to stay with at least 9" or wider wheel... it will make the tire look better....

i have 17's on 37's and wish i had 18's or 20's

I say 17s. After that tires start getting expensive

yea go 18 that one in make a big difference you get the bigger rim look with the big tire look also. and spend the extra to get the chrome over the polished wheel.

I disagree on the last part. I would go polished over chrome. Chrome peels over time and most chrome wheels look cheap

18s.

Gives you more tire choices if you ever want to change brand and/or size.

Disagree right back at ya. Rather have chrome because easy to clean and don't have to spend a weekend polishing them. Remember there are other wheel company's out there besides WELD that make chrome wheels.
