I need tires. I saw 20” steel rims that is love to get for my truck. What I really dislike about the PPVs is the small tires and so much room in the wheel well. I’m guessing that getting the 20” would fill that up more and look better? Is it worth the extra expense?

Just run a taller tire. The 265-70-17 is 30-5/8 tall mounted on the car. Your cop tires are two inches shorter.

The 275-55-20 on the 20s is a 1/16 of an inch shy of 31 inches mounted on the car. Some run 275-60s but your acceleration will suffer as you have 3.08 highway gears.

If you want 20" wheels, I believe that you could run a 305/50/20 tire, which is 32" tall. That's what I run on my Yukon XL.
