Well then you must be able to get them in 20'' because those are the exact same wheels. They even say Pro-Comp Xtreme on the center cap. I would call them.
 
I want them, they look nice, just a money issue.

Debating between those and the SR wheels not much of a comparison lol, but you know.

I'm just bitter I can't pick up some sick sliders locally. Equal business opportunity, ja know, qJake ;)
 
These look much better in 20's than they do in 17's

How much side wall will I loose? and how much will that limit me?

You will loose 3" of total sidewall or 1.5" from the ground to the rim. The shorter the sidewall the better the on road handling, less sidewall squirm. The less sidewall, the more chance of popping a bead off when aired down and wheeling, rougher ride, more chance of rim damage.

Which beads are you referring to? So it's not limitations as much as more chance of damaging the rim?
 
The "beads" are the tire opening that seals to the rim/wheel. When you air down (lower the air pressure) for wheeling (to smooth out the ride and the tire will conform to the rocks better for better traction) the tire bead can release due to the lower air pressure. This will allow all of the air out of the tire. It doesn't damage the tire, unless you continue to drive on it. Why would this happen more/easier with a bigger wheel? It is due to a shorter sidewall. A shorter sidewall is stiffer and has less give which would allow the tire to deform.

As far as rim damage. Again due to the shorter sidewall, objects/rocks can come in contact easier which can cause the lip of the rim to dent, bend or break.

Thank you for the information!!!!

It's a tough decision to make I suppose because I use the truck for on road way more than off road but don't want to end up in a bind like you explained above.

Would that happen easily or in an extreme wheeling scenario?
