I wanna say the bottom set but it's hard to see them. Post up a pic with more light on them. I'm a classic guy and grew up with Cragar SS and SS/T's. I like the rounded look of the spokes, the flat ones look like they belong on a newer vehicle. I'm old school just my opinion.

For the 20" Ridler 695's what size tires do yall recommend? I have been looking to buy a set. Any offset from front to back?

Will a 2" Drop Spindle/2" coil spring drop in the front be okay with them? How far on the rear can I go with the 20"? I have done reading and searching but haven't really found a solid answer.

I like the 20" Ridler 695's. +1 vote from me!

Of the two choices, I vote for the 17" wheels.

Since you asked for my opinion, I think big wheels make square bodies look like cartoon trucks, and 17" is right on the ragged edge. The again, I'm an old skool guy, too.

Hey, Camar068 -- Hard to beat the wheels and stance on your truck. What's the front/rear drop and tires sizes?
