While im not a huge fan of 20's on trucks, I like the big spoked look better so my choice is #2. You could just buy them both HAHA

Just wondering, but if you cant get those 19.5"s to turn at the track, how well do you think the 20"s will do?
I think either would look sweet on your truck.
Did you sell those 19.5s"? I am looking to get the same setup.

I like option #1, I'm just not a fan of the big rims...

Yes watch the weight... 20" setups arent very light and a rim that size has huge rolling inertia. Could probably cut a good 4/10ths off your 1/4 time by sticking with a wide 16" rim.

I'm figuring I'll save 50lbs per corner going with the 20's...more with 18's! I'll also be losing at least 2" in tire height, maybe more!

I can't make up my mind...every time I think I've decided, I come up with another reason for the other set! We'll see what happens!

Thanks Guys, Keep them coming!
Chris

i got some real real wide 16.5 for sale

. they are 16.5x14, and have 5.5 or 6" of back spacing, and if i didnt have 16.5" wide tires on the rims, i think they wouldn't stick out a whole lot.

No thanks...can't get too many tires in a 16.5 size. That's what was on the truck when I bought it

Where are good places to buy wheels online??

My local tire shop has every price I can find online beat, but can't get them until late next month. Really sucks, I love buying from him when I can, he's just so easy to deal with, and his prices are normally awesome!

He told me to buy them if I could find them in stock though
