Yep, i have 20s and 35s on my OBS K1500 that’s a pavement queen. I have 17s and 33’s on my GMT800 Suburban Z71 that I’m building for overlanding(never done it before). I have 20s and 37s on my Yukon that is also a pavement queen. New subscriber.
I want to go to the beach and Moab, not rock climbing. My factory wheels are 18". My wife has a bad leg, so I want to keep the truck height to the factory. I have an 06, F250 Lariat FX4. Can I do that with 17"?
"When aired down." Most important phrase in this entire video. If you aren't a guy who is so hard-core offroad that you bring along all the tools required to air down when you get to whatever road or trail that requires that sort of alteration to your rig, then MORE tire sidewall really doesn't make that much difference. Don't believe me? Look up tire tests regarding a 20" wheel versus a 17" wheel, but BOTH with a 33" tire, and BOTH with 35 psi (most common pressure for everyday use). You will see that if you leave the 35 psi, the tire deflection over obstacles is so similar between the two tire sidewalls that there isn't a clear reason to go 17" versus 20". In fact, that extra inch and a half really makes zero difference offroad UNLESS you air down. I personally don't know anyone that takes the time to air down if they are just headed to a remote lake or hunting spot off the highway. Bottom line; if you have a true hard-core offroad rig like a rock crawler Jeep that you air down for the day, more sidewall makes sense, so you can utilize that extra inch of rubber. But, if you are the other 90% who have a daily driver that sees occasional off-highway use and don't want to mess with the hassles of running 9 psi only to have to put 35 back in for the ride home, the practical difference is so minimal that esthetics should be more important. In which case 20's wins every time imo.
You will need a wheel with a deep offset and backspacing. Something around 3.5" BS should work. If you don't have that, you will need wheel spacers to clear the brakes
