Hey all,
I have an 05 Screw 4x4 and it came from the factory with 18's. The previous owner got rid of those and put on 17's. I have no rhyme or reason why he did that. I found some nice 20's with tires on craiglist and put them on. My truck is black and I am thinking of going with black wheels when I have to get new tires in a couple of months. Should I stay with 20's or should I go back down to 18's? I have the front leveled and I am currently running 33's. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

It's all a matter of what you like. Or, want to pay for. The 18s should be a little lighter and give a little better mpg.

 

Even with the same height tire?

 

Yes, the wheels are lighter. When I went from 265/65/17s to 305/50/20s, I ;ost almost 1/2 mpg. Part of it was weight, part is the resistance of a wider tire.
