Best performing wheel tire combo
Looking at getting some new wheels and tires for my truck..... Hooking up isn't a problem with 4x4 so I'm not really worried about soft side wall... What would be faster/least rolling resistance.. A 20" wheel with a shorter profile tire or a 17 or 18" wheel with more side wall.. What would be the lighter set up?

17 or 18 for sure. That's why I went 18's on mine and they still look nice. 20's look great but damn they are heavy. Go to tirerack.com to compare all the specs on different wheels and tires and you can make a great choice even if you buy elsewhere. I got tires shipped for free no tax next day.

Cool, thanks! I wasn't sure what would be heavier, the wheel or having that much more rubber.. either way, I'm going to need about a 31 to 32 inch tire to keep my heating the way I want.
