Default HAs anyone dumped the 20 inch wheels on their 1500 yet?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone dumped their 20 inch wheels on the 1500 Ram? I was on the lot looking at 08 1500's and they all have the 20's with very "car like" tires. I would want a much more agressive tire, and in the 20 inch range there are few choices. I think a 17 inch wheel would be good? Has anyone done it? How does it look? I am a big fan of the BFG AT's.


Thanks,
Zack

I think these tires look very decent on the 20's and will be my next tires:

There are a lot of people that got rid of there 20's for 17's, I think some of the reasons were the price difference in tires. 17" tires are a lot cheaper. When I bought mine the dealer offered to swap my 17's for 20's from the trucks they had on there lot. I told him no thanks, I ordered my truck with 17's and thats the way I'll keep it.

Mine although the Mega Cab came with the 17's and I still upgraded just the tire. I like the 17" wheels... and I like a lot of rubber between my truck and the off road

I did, I like the look of the stock 17's with bigger tires.
