Tire Size

I am considerinf purchasing a new F-250 Super Duty PSD Lariat Crew Cab 4X4. It has factory upgraded tires (LT265/70R17E BF Goodrich) but the other truck is almost identical except it has bigger factory upgraded tires (LT275/65R20E Goodyears). I want the bigger wheels and tires. I am going to ask the dealer if he will swap them as I otherwise like the color of the truck with the smaller tires. I think the dealer will have to recalibrate the spedometer and/or odometer for the larger wheels and tires. I assume that should not be problem since both are OEM. Will changing from 17 to 20 inch wheels and tires change or affect anything else and is the recalibration easily done by the dealer? What are your thoughts. Thanks!

Help. I am going to the dealership tomorrow and I need some advice re the tires. Should I have him locate me a truck with the tires I want or should I let him swap the tires from another truck already on the lot? Thanks!
