Finally did it! Upgraded to 5th gen 20" limited wheels!
I've been wanting the rims since they first came out in 2010... and finally had a good reason to buy. Needed new tires and found a great deal on all 5 wheels with tires with around 1k miles on them! Really like the ride and looks.

I take it you had a 4th gen and "upgraded" to a 5th gen?

looks so good!
i tired to find a similar deal when I needed new tires a few months ago.. never could make it work. people wanted too much for their 'throw-away' wheels...
do notice it riding slower? happen to weigh the difference?

I can feel the weight difference when driving, but not by much. Something you really can't avoid when you're adding 3" larger wheels. The smoother ride and looks are definitely worth the sacrifice.

Of course these are a direct bolt on 6 lug / 6 lug.
The 5th gen offset is +12 / 4th gen is +30.

Thanks!
Direct bolt on, no modifications necessary. Only issues are either swapping the TPMS or turning off the sensor dash light, and also remembering that the larger tire size will add ~3% to your MPH. My plan is to swap in the TPMS once I need new tires and do the TPMS sensor mod to turn off the annoying blinking light on my dash.

Are you lifted or stock height?

stock height. The larger sidewalls on the tires did add some extra clearance. When I get new tires I'll most likely stick to the stock diameter which is 255/50 R20.

larger sidewalls? Are your new tires bigger than 255/50 20s? Your stock tires should have had a larger side wall. 255/50 20 is the same height as your older 265/65 17s, but you have thinner side walls on the 20s because the wheel is larger.
As for weight, I doubt you would notice any difference. The wheels would weigh maybe 5 lbs pounds more, but your tires will weigh less. It is almost a wash. With a 3 inch wheel increase, you should notice a big handling difference. It should feel much stiffer. Maybe that is what you are feeling.
