Default should I leave these wheels on or go 20"

Hi guy, what do you think? Would like to go with 06 and up 20's chrome.

I throw in a picture of my old 96 grand Cherokee on 31's 3" lift(sold)

Thanks Regert

If you like the chrome 20's go for it for sure. Just know you're gonna pay more for tires going from 17's to 20's. Also, with the huge aftermarket for rims, I would also be looking there for some nice chrome rims if that's what you like. Post up some pics after you decide what you're gonna do.

yea you could find some aftermarket rims cheaper than the dodge ones. And the dodge ones seemed to be deteriorating to me, after only 2 years too.

Your MPG will go down and like cowboy said, huge jump in tire price. I think its worth it, our trucks need 20s at least

I priced out rubber for the 17's and there more money then the 20's odd. I do like the newer 20's but there is alot of nice aftermarket rims out there as well. anyone want to trade 17 for 20's, I have 285/70r17 BFG MT on the rims.

Unless you come across some used 20's cheap, I'd put my money in some aftermarket 17's and some nice tires to go on them. It's ridiculous how much more the 20" tires cost - you basically pay more money for a bigger hole in the middle of the tire. I probably won't need tires again until it's about time to hand my rig down to my son. When it comes time, I'll be gettin rid of the 20's for some more aggressive looking tires and rims for him that aren't 20"ers.

I don't care about milage, it's nice to get more out of a tank but if your not saving like a extra 100km out of a tank then whats the point of trying,
