Ive noticed alot of members have to re-do their wheel tire combo.
They go into it thinking smaller every day AT's and end up going with larger MT's mainly Toyo MT's.
Alot of us try to keep others from making the same mistakes since its so costly.
If you dont want them now I bet you will the next time around.
Go with some 35" Toyo MT's you'll love em.
I also have noticed that member's with 20's and 35's always seem to want more rubber and end up going up to or dream about 37's.
While members with 18's stay happy with their 35's.

Snow isn't a problem in the winter, ice is. It seems the only tires worse than M/Ts on ice are low profile street tires. While out in a Taurus in the last storm, teaching my kids to drive, we watched a Jeep with big BFG M/Ts slide sideways thru a parking lot, slowly rotating.

It's up to you, personally I think the big wheels with tine side walls should not be put on any 4x4, look great on kids Honda's I suppose!
To me big wheels, little tires looks gross. I don't like the looks of Eddy's truck at all, 6 spd's looks great though, like the 18's and pesonally would not go to anything bigger than that.
It's up to the individual.

the 18 combos look good to me
there is a truck around (old chevy) with old school 15's and like 40's
it looks like someone lost a silver donut in the middle. pretty unusual, since you see all the big rims now.
FWIW, my 4x2 on 22's doesn't ride any worse than OEM tires psi'd 80~100psi for fuel MPG.
the lower the profile, the closer the rim lip is to danger, in any situation.

I was always under the impression that the 20's (if they were aluminum) with 35's would be lighter than 17's (if they were aluminum) with 35's. Since, I have been proven wrong on that theory. Why would anyone want a stiffer ride and more rotational mass by going to larger rims other than looks.

I dont think 20's and 35's look bad at all...now if you are running them with more then a leveling kit I would say yeah get some bigger tires.
20's and 35's=great tow and nice stiff ride.
again it's all preference.
get what suits your needs....one set up is not better then the other...one just suits your needs better then the other.
