If people are "looking to save money," they should buy 33s on 17s, or even 18s. 20" rims are much more expensive than 17/18s and the tires are even worse.
Now, in the OP's case, he wants to save in the day to day gas mileage consumption. Going from a 37 to a 35 - now that's sensible and economical.
All opinions of course. You know the saying.
Why would people buy a V6 for a full-size truck? Well I don't know about others, but I got mine because that's all the bank said I could get. ....

i'll be going with 33x12.50s on 20's down the line, but i'll only have a level kit. i've had lifted trucks before and to me, the added maintenance, hassle, and fuel isn't worth it anymore. when i lived with my parents i had all kinds of disposable income. not that i have my own house, my priorities have changed. such is life.

For a truck that has a leveling kit like mine i would say 20s on 33s would look good, especially compared to the stock setup. If you have a suspension lift then i would go down to 35s and maybe uncrank your coilovers.

37x13.5R20's are on my mind, I'll have to buy all new wheels but I've been known to make hasty decisions so we will see.

Don't run 33's on your rig.
I prefer 33's/18's to 33's/20's. A little more rubber and a little less wheel just looks better to my eye...but all of the 33's look too small to me. I'd much rather run 35's!

They are in good to very good shape, even the chrome. But sand has acted as an abrasive against the clearcoat so they have some fine scratches but they clean up well. Other than that the wheels are in perfect shape. Make me an offer, they are 350/per wheel brand new.
