Man I love my 20's but with diesel going over 3 bucks again I am switching back to the stock 17's for efficiency. I have been averaging 14.5mpg with the 20's. I hope to see 16.5+ with the stock doughnuts....

i wouldnt have thought just the wheels would have effected a pstroke that much

It is the 34" tire vs the 31" tire. Each wheel and tire is 40 lbs heavier and adds 3" diameter. It takes a lot more gas and brake to change their motion.

I am already feeling the difference. I can cruise down the highway at 1-2lbs less boost than before. I gotta quit spinning them though...:icon_eek:

I may have to hurt you Terry. What size are those tires you just made me buy? :cool:

LOL. I tried Terry's 20's for one day and said no way. Even though the overall diameter was only 1" more than my OEM wheel/tire, the extra mass just killed acceleration and braking. I could imagine what it was doing for mileage.
