I put an add on Craigslist last week when I found out to replace my 305-50-20 tires it would cost me $400 a pop. Two days later a guy replies and says he has a 2 month old set of ProComp Mud Terrains on ProComp wheels. I contacted him and Saturday we made the swap. I love the tires and even though the wheels are a bit old school, they are growing on me and my gas mileage actually went up about 1.5 mpg! Let me know what you guys think. I will post some pictures of the entire truck later.

i agree, 20's are nice on a car but you need the rubber to make a truck look right.

Good boy! 20" wheels have no business on a 4x4, unless it's a huge lifted, solid front axle 4x4 with like 38" or larger tires...

What about this situation would cause an increase in gas mileage? Anyone?

Just curious.
