I like the looks of the wheel, but would have gone with 20 inch if it were looks I was upgrading. Cuz mine's 18" stock, and to go with 19" .. what's the diff. -- so it has to be 20" for the super low profile look. IMO.

eh sorry but not a fan at all, you should have tried www.tiresdelivered.com or www.victoriatire.com , i did an extensive wheel search and should have my 20s in a couple of days, no hints as to what i got, but they are black to go with my rx.

you can actually fit 22s.... but they look like car tires, not made for an SUV imo.

U are suggesting bigger? unfortunately 18" is the biggest size for those rims

I'm not feeling those...srry...

I think NeoNz is right about 20s. I would go for 20s, 18s just look too original and stock. Do you have limited budget? If not, there should be a lot of choices.

Bumpy rides? That's too bad. It would've looked better if you could go 20s.

Mesh wheels are good, but personally I wouldn't put it on my 400h. I like to go with something less sportier.

why don't you compromise and go with 19s? 255/55/18s fit the fine, you could run 255/50/19 which would be less sidewall then my setup but more than stock, your truck would ride higher like mine does as well. 255/45/20 isn't a bad choice but you could just get some designated truck tires for offroad i dont think you would have to worry about bending your wheels as long as they aren't junk.
