# What should I consider when picking wheel size for a lifted heavy-duty truck?

Your brake caliper size may prevent you from running smaller wheels (like 17"), so you might need to step up to 18". Wheel offset also affects clearance, and larger tire/wheel combinations can require some body trimming.
