Stock 18" vs. 20" Wheels
Stock 18" vs. 20" Wheels
Anyone have any experience with the new stock 20" KR Wheel and tire combo. I have owned '04 and '05 Lariet 4x4's with the 18" and like the ride quality. I'm purchasing an " 06 KR and wonder if the new set up is good. Does anyone know if the brake rotor size changed when the new wheel option became available.
I have an 05 KR (21,000 miles) and just purchased OEM 20's with Pirelli Scorpion tires (stock). I don't notice all that much difference in the ride, if any it is minor. I corners better. Gas mileage has decreased, but that could be due to the weather / gas / and who know's what else. I have also been told that I will go thru brakes a little faster. As for the looks, it REALLY looks a lot better that the 18's. That is my opinion. It fills up the wheel well a little more and the tires look good too.
I wouldn't even second guess that upgrade!
What color KR you getting?

I'm trying for the life of me to figure out why new wheels would make you go through brakes faster.

I actually like the 20" much better. No detectable ride difference and they really make the truck look sharp. Not sure how the Pirelli's will hold up long term.

I have noticed my gas mileage has dropped. Not sure if that is from the extra "weight" or cause there is a height difference between the 18" and 20". I have not gotten my computer reflashed because I ordered an xCal2 from Troyer.
KR 20" Rims
I like the looks of those as well. I want to get larger rims for my truck but I did not want to loose the running W logo.
I was contemplating getting rims custom made by HRE with the W logo:
