18 inch or 20 inch rims ?

Some questions for the experts:

- Why can't you order the camper package with the 20 inch rims?
- Which currently has better e-rated tire selection the 18 inch or 20 inch rims?
- Which in your opinion, will end up having better tire selection in a few years, and why?

Thanks in advance.

Re: 18 inch or 20 inch rims ?

If the 20 inch rim has 2 or more selections - then it's got the 18" beat. I've just spent the last two weeks trying to locate an E rated 18" tire with an AT tread. Aside from the Wrangler ATS that came on mine - no dice.

I was told the 20 inch tires don't have the load rating for the camper package.

Both the 20's and the 18's are E-rated tires ...

Re: 18 inch or 20 inch rims ?

My BFG All Terrain's are 285/55/R20 and they are "D" rated and I pull a camper - so I guess that's a "Camper Package". The sidewalls on these are a little small, so I will bump up to the next size next time. I believe it is a BFG All Terrain 305/65/R20 also "D".

Later,

Ken
