RE: 20" to 17"
It depends on the sidewall of the tire. The 17" tire has a lot more sidewall than the 20" low profile tire. I don't know for sure but I bet they are about the same overall diameter. I have heard that trucks with 20's have 3.92 rear gears, but my truck came with 17's amd has 3.55's. Does anyone know why the lower gears? Does the heavier 20" wheel cause enough decrease in performance to justify a lower gear?

oh, and if you're looking to convert tire size and see how much it will affect your odometer and speedometer, here is a good site that I got from someone else here in the forum!

Hozz...my apologies also. Didn't mean to steal your opportunities. I got excited and started typing.
sig....Unfortunately I bought my truck used so I didn't get to pick the gears
locked up....sent you an email.
Does anyone know if the trucks with 20's have different shocks or sway bars? I think I read that somewhere. What would happen if I put 20's on my truck that came with 17's? Would I have a poor ride or handling problem?
