And not sure what size tire to go with.i will run them on my 18 foot boat trailer but will keep them and switch them to the 21 foot boat when i buy one. For now this is the look i want.

Sorry, bad joke.

I dig that slammed look. Are the (will your) fenders (be) attached to the axles to prevent the tires from rubbing?

Easy fix... I bought a set of 18" Momo's for my 1st boat trailer... Had to special order hubs in the correct bolt pattern and then had to use 2" wheel spacers so they wouldn't rub the frame rails... Ride like shit because of the low profile tire but damn did it look bitchin!!
