Question of the Week: F150 factory wheels - how big is too big?
For our newest Question of the Week, we want to know how big of a stock wheel for the F150 do you think is too big?
We already have seen factory 22 inch wheels in the industry and Ford offers more 20 inch wheels for the 2015 F150 than they do smaller wheel options, but we want to know what the biggest group of F150 enthusiasts online believe is just too much rim for a stock truck.

There goes "opinion" causing disagreement again. I have not seen a vehicle yet that had larger than 20s that did not look out if proportion to me. When the wheel becomes a standout feature and not an accent that blends, it's just too much for me.

Personally, I do not understand the appeal of a truck with low profile tires.
Historically the truck embodies an off-road lifestyle, even if you drive it around in the city and I feel demands the subtle touches that quietly state that this truck can do work.
When I look at the stance and profile of a truck, that usually equates to a wider tire with a thicker sidewall than you'd ever see on a car. It frustrates me to no end that a standard 2" lift and upgrading to a 275/70/R18 tire puts me over the height limit (or too close for comfort) for the majority of garages and low-hanging structures where I work (not where I live).
