What's the biggest wheel you'd consider putting on your truck? 20? 24? 26? 30? Bigger the better, or is there a logical limit to how far you'd go?

Wow! A hard-core performance purist. It seems now, even for mini-truckers, they're going for 20s, and for the FS trucks, 24s are starting to become the norm.
But I'm with you. Just big enough to improve performance, but not too big where it turns your vehicle into a pig.

Why can't you put those giant stone steamroller wheels on the front like in "The Flinstones?" Can you imagine what that would do to your turning radius? I am sure it would make it so you couldn't TURN AT ALL. My brother put 22's on his 07 GMC and I think that is the only size that actually fits the wheel well properly-look wise.

Balboa, in terms of improving the looks, I'd say lower it a few inches to close the fender gap, rather than putting bigger and bigger rims on. You really do noticeably sacrifice performance when putting bigger wheels & tires on without the proper accompanying upgrades (re-gearing, suspension, etc.)

Full-size: No bigger than 22s, EVER!
Compact/Midsize: 18s.
