So if Im running right now on stock 17's wist the stock gear, 3.55. I could go up in size, to 20's, and effect the gear ratio, to something like 3.92, which is good right?

you're going the wrong direction.. your making the gears higher (but numerically lower) if you put bigger wheels/tires on the rig..

that will eat up your mileage because your engine will work harder to get 'em rolling.. once they are rolling, in theory, you'll get better mileage.. but that is just theory..

numerically higher gears, OR reducing the tire diameter will give you a lower effective gear (but numerically higher)..

Looks great!

How big of wheel spacers did you have to run? That's what I would like mine to look like, but would rather not run spacers/have the tires stick out.
