looking good man! one question though, how come everyone that gets the "off road tires" likes the smaller wheels? if it was you i would keep the 20's and put the off road tires on them. is there a performance reason why alot of you choose the smaller size whell or just price???
Well the 17 are for a few reasons. 1 the 20's have more weight to them so that means the motor has to work harder, now I know that doesnt mean much but every little bit helps. Second I dont really like the look of 20's with big tires, to me you just cant get a tire big enough to make the 20 look right under the truck. 3rd is the price difference. For a new set of rims and tires on the rims its only a few hundred more than JUST new tires for the 20's, when you look at 33's or 35's dont even get me started on that price. So thats the reasons for me. But truthfully to each his own! If you like them, more power to ya brother, thats what makes this kind of thing the best almost no 2 trucks out there are the same. Ya'll keep rippin the tires!
