they really don't make a good 20" for racing....

if i was you i'd just roll on the 20s and when you want to drag race i'd down size to a smaller rim and a better gripping tire.

i'm going with 15s in the rear and a tall slick and 17" Yukon rims up front when i do my 6.0 swap.

Toyo makes a 20" Drag Radial. Or check out Mickey Thompsons Sportsman SR's, that is what I will be running.

Yeah, I'd roll some stock 17's or 18's (whatever clears the brakes) when you drag race and roll the JG 20's for cruising. The smaller wheels will drop your 60' time and ET anyways. Plus, there are many choices out there for sticky 17/18" rubber.
