85 SWB 18" or 20" wheels?

buttoning up an 85 SWB build. Need opinions or pics of your thoughts on 18" or 20" wheels. I did a 2.5 front 4 rear lowering kit. Much appreciated!

20's all the way. I plan on doing 3-5 and 20's. (pay no attention to the gay 22's in my profile pic.)

What did you decide. I ha e an 85 Shorty that I plan on doing the same thing to. I was debating the same thing on rim size. At this point I am leaning toward 18’s just for comfort reasons. More sidewall will equal a smoother ride.

more sidewall for sure. only go bigger if you have brake clearance issues. and if your having brake clearance issues with 18's you better have a blown big block

Fat 20s rear. Medium 18s front

It depends on the wheel as the design can make them look bigger or smaller. Personally I dont like the rubber band look and prefer to have some sidewall to roll in the corners.

He never came back, so we'll never know lol.

Since he didn't come back...15's up front, 32's in the rear.
