I had the Moda r5 20x9.5,wich are similiar, Just sold them.

The Goodyear 275/45-20 weighed about 39 making the Modas around 34,
The finish is top notch and a nice looking wheel in person,
I don't know why Tirerack discontinued them I noticed them not being on the site as of last month.

4.10s would help, but you'd still be losing the performance of spinning a 2-3" taller wheel then an 18" assuming you're going for about the same look w/ sidewall heights and so forth.

Personally, if you're not intending on showing your ride more then just a few times, and you want a more performance oriented truck, go w/ 18s. They're still big enough to have that "awe" effect, but dont rip your bootie apart when you wanna get new rubber :p

Yeah I was worried about the neg. effect the 20's would have on performance, also 650 vette brought up a good point about how expensive the rubber will be for 20's. However, looking at Bigkid's truck w/ the 2/4 drop on 18's it looks very slick and clean. It makes me want to do the same thing. Thanks for the advice guys.
