Larger wheel generally will give you a rougher ride. See if the dealer has couple trucks (2500 or 3500srw-any motor) with one of each wheel size. Take them for a drive to compare down the same roads, stay in the same lane, etc.
Personally, I would probably go with the 18's. Better tire selection, little better ride, etc.
Our truck came w' 20's (bought off lot), and there are a few more tires recently available that will fit our truck (GM's don't like larger tires (much taller) without rubbing). I have been back and forth to switch to 18's for the little better ride and better tire selection. Stock we have 32.5" tall tires, can fit 33" tires, but 34" will rub as I understand.
BUT.... If the Ford allows you to mount a taller tire without any issues then go with the rim you like the best. If thats something you would consider.
Good feedback Thanks!.. this seems to concur with what others are saying..although the 20" look 'cool' the ride is a lot rougher on the 20"
My wife has low profile tires on her little Mazda that she runs around in. We both said 'Never Again'.. :-) It sounds like although the 20" are not Low Pro that they will still have some of the same issues.. rougher ride and easier rim damage and even alignment getting knocked out of waco easier by a pot hole!
