See saying that going from 18" wheels to 20" wheels will not affect anything isn't exactly accurate in my opinion. Rotating mass plays a big part of it in mileage and power. If you have a light weight 18" wheel and you go with some heavy 20" wheel with Toyo's on there, you may have doubled the rotating mass of the axles. That being said, the 6.7's hardly notice the change in feel, but you may notice a dip in mileage. Ride may also play a part in the decision. While your truck may like the lower profile 20's on the pavement, they may be a rougher ride off road. The taller sidewalls may not be ideal on road courses, they help to absorb the bumps off road. Fewer catastrophic wheel failures from hitting rocks with larger sidewalls on 18's too. Just my opinion that I have seen over the years of course.
