I have the 275/55/20 stock Nexen tires on my 4X4 Big Horn. I plan to keep it totally stock. I bought it as a kid hauler to and from the ski resorts in the Seattle area, and a couple trips to Whistler a year. When I first started to buy snow tires I decided to get a set of the stock 18 inch rims and put a 275/65 wildcat studded tire on them. I found a set of Laramie 18 inch wheels on Craig's list for $250 bucks so I bought them.
So now I have the original wheels that look like they are 20 inch chrome clad and the 18s that have different finish. I thought the 18s would give me more rubber on the road but now I don't know. As far as looks I don't care, but my first thought is that the Laramie rims will be easier to maintain with the grime from winter driving?? I have looked at so many different set up ideas that I have lost myself in the weeds. Any suggestions?
