On pavement, they would be about equal, but off-road it's all about sidewall flex and 20s just don't have enough sidewall unless you are talking 37s on 20s.

I'd bet you could get some decent Mickey Thompson Classic II or Cepek DC1s in 17" and a set of 17" ATZs for less than the 20" ATZs and spacers...
I'am planning to keep the stock 20s, just because i cannot afford aftermarket rims right now. But that is my plan, to go down to a 17 inch rim. The performance factor is a huge plus, but another big factor for me is how much cheaper the tires are. When i do end up getting some rims I will not be going with a 20 inch rim there just to darn expensive and the tires for them are too.

I got the MT ATZ's about 5k ago and i couldn't be happier with the purchase. I also bought wheels at the same time but that besides the point. I putted around trying to decide which tires to buy and the MT just made sense, especially with the testimonials from forum members. Yeah they are expensive, but you get what you pay for! Besides being a great tire you get a lot of compliments on them as well.
