If it were me, I'd go with the 17s for the smoother ride - more air between the rims and the road.  But then I'm practical like that.

Myself(my personal OPINION)...I'm a stickler w factory/oem. Once I bought my truck,as the yrs went by,I've had my mind set more and more w keeping everything as much factory/oem as I can due to the fact that it seems like everyone who has an older vehicle,has to change somethin about it. That's just me though

Its all good though, it seems most guys like mods. Raised, lowered, tinted, shiny, fast, monster. And thats fine. But a few of us, and i mean a few..still love the old stock factory grandpa look. I know, boring right? Its all good.

I like the style of the 20s, but think 17s look better size wise. 20s are just too big imho.

Yeah. Everyone's got their own style. I'm sure whatever you decide,it'll look good and hey...might be a one of a kind! Good luck!

Still not sure what I'm going with, one good thing is I don't have hardly any $$$ into either set. I'll just keep both sets and see which one grows on me or at least buy some time until I find something else that I absolutely can't live without. Thank you guys for your opinions.
It's cool to see/hear everyone's different tastes.

I think I'm leaning towards the 17's. Haven't seen them in any squares and I've seen countless ones with 20's. I just wish they made the 17" Novas in something wider than 8"s.
I come from owning 4wd's and I'm used to seeing sidewall. These are the last two chevy's I built.
