Should my truck have 17 or 18-inch wheels?
I’m getting my Ford F-150 set up for offroading and I’m hoping to upgrade my tires, but I don’t understand the difference between the 17 and 18-inch options. Should I get 17 or 18-inch tires for my truck?

The best setup for your truck depends on what you’re hoping to use it for. Since you’ll be using your truck for off-roading, you will likely find more tire options if you opt for 17-inch tires.
17-inch wheels also tend to be less expensive than their 18-inch counterparts, and their larger sidewall makes for a more comfortable ride.
However, many drivers do opt for 18-inch tires for aesthetic purposes, as the larger diameter of the wheel tends to look better on a truck. Keep in mind that these tires sit on the heavier side and can be a bit noisier than 17-inch tires.
