Another good read. I've read over and over here, and all over Google about 17" vs 20", centrifugal force, unsprung, , tire load, yada yada... oh, my physics is rusty. I not defending either size, because I think they both look good.
So in theory, if you had a 20" rims (made of magnesium) that weighed the same as a 17" rims and the both tires had the same O.D. size and weighed the same, would it yield the same results?
Next, if I ran a set of 15" rims with LT tires would I increase my towing capacity?
Serious about the 15" rims. I know where I can pick up a set for cheap.
Are you saying I can't find an aftermarket 15 or 16 inch 5 on 5.5 set of rims with the correct load rating for the 3rd gen ? Confused about your stated, please be specific. Bummer, if so.
Just pick'en at you, but I think you missed the part about being specific. Please don't take it the wrong way.
Is it because of the offset or center hole?
