Sorry if this has been posted already but Ive searched the forums and failed to find any discussion. I currently have 19" rims with the stock GYs. When I bought my HSE, I discovered after the rims were bent. It drives alright but you can feel it. So Ive had my eyes set on GY Wranglers Silent Armors. I had a set on my 97 Pathfinder and loved it. I do not do any ******** off-roading so I figured the Duratracs would be overkill. However, the SAs do not come in 19 (and I need to get new rims anyways) so I am using the SAs availability to dictate what I rims I should get. Ive been reading the post and most people are recommending the 18s (I love the LR's turn radius and therefore, do not want to hamper it with any possible rubbing by the 20s as indicated in Nathan Woods site). So I am seeking some input by some of you more experienced LR'ers. Thanks! Z

I personally like the 18" option. Softer ride and more options for tires.

thanks for the input. I was prepared to go with the 18s but just needed that extra push. However, Im having a heck of a time trying to find some decent 18" rims..

I have bought several factory LR 18" rims off ebay. I dont think there is much on the after market curcuit.
