lmao... um, 2 inches is the difference?

it depends on what type of wheel you go with, not just the size.

there are plenty of ghetto *** 20's, and plenty of ugly 18's as well...

Other than the short sidewall height you can expect a harsher ride. You'd have to be careful with potholes as not to bend the rims. If you have a good back and live with good roads it shouldn't be to much of a concern. It's up to you.

The ride is not going to be that bad over the stock tires. And if you get some upgraded shocks and struts that can help tame it even more.I had the stock 17's and went to 20's and the differance in ride is not that drastic. Potholes yes you better watch out for them. But hell as bad as the roads are here I have to watch out for them in my F-150

18's don't take as much time as 20's do to rotate so if ur a racer or a big track guy i wouldn't go with 20's cuz they will slow u down just a tad. nothing major tho

In the pics below in my signature my silver car has 20s and my black one has 18s. Really just a matter of what you like.
