    Weight will not be a huge issue once I have my SC installed that I plan on investing in.
    Guess I will start exploring the 17"s selections out there.

    Trust me, even with the SC, weight still matters.

    I understand. HP/Weight ratios will be better. That is all. Then The break upgrade I was planning.

    Braking and fuel mileage is more of the problem. Gotta turn all that unsprung weight. And stopping it is the major part. My wheels are pretty light, and the MTR/wheel combo is still like 100 lbs. 20s are crazy heavy! My braking isn't ideal as is. I'd like to upgrade as well. I can get going just fine

    Ok - lets forget about the weight right now and focus on the wheel ability. Are there cons?

    If you're gonna offroad, you want as much rubber as possible. More chance of bending or cracking a wheel with less sidewall. Possibly rougher ride when it's aired up too. And more rubber looks better!

    Well its a land Cruiser with a diesel so I've got that going for me.
    Skygear- when we did a mod day over at Jays house Randy parked up on a curb with his 35/20 combo and the whole tire just floated in air. It was weird seeing a tire do that. Sidewall was so thin it had almost no give and was really not what I would want on anything but the road. The tire needs to conform to the trail to give better grip but I really don't think these would have done well at off on anything off camber!

    My .02 good luck with your quest!
