Changing to factory 20" wheels??

Hey I just bought a 2006 F250 with the factory 18" wheels on it. I want to change to the factory 20" wheels and tires because I think they look much better. Has anyone who has done this experienced anything negative with the 20" wheels such as loss of stopping power or loss of fuel mileage after switching?

I had the factory 20's on my F150 KR and they were HEAVY. Just wanted to check to make sure I wasnt making a mistake before I do this. Please post up you experience or opinions. Thanks.

Well if you are worried about weight, you might not want to go with factory 20" wheels. Usually factory wheels are heavier than after market brands and you can choose what you want with after market. One good thing is that you have the newer model F250 so there are a few factory wheels to choose from that will bolt right up. Good luck on your find...peace

I upgraded my factory 18" to 20"s. They are from a 2007 Harley. They ride just fine and look Great!
