18" or 19" 20"?...too heavy. Remember, this is already a 4,000lbs SUV. There are some lightwieght wheels out there (like OZ), but some of those other 20" wheels weight in at 30lbs. It is really hard to move and stop all that extra unsprung weight.

Talking with RONJON, his 20" Harrow weighs 27lbs. The 20" Continental Tire weighs 26lbs. These two together weigh 3.5lbs less than stock per corner.

sounds like you are sold on the 20" The stocks probably weighted more like 5 pounds more, but you have worn off that rubber. Wouldn't you rather save 10 pounds or more per corner? My 19x8.5 GTS A/V weight in at 23lbs each. How about a Enkie RP03 at 21lbs. Plus you have less rotational mass further out on the wheel. Food for thought.
