Help me with this thing I can't get out of my head.... We have an '18 F150 with the stock 20" wheels. When I bought the truck, I asked the dealers to downgrade it to 18s because I personally don't care for the big wheels craze, and in previous vehicles have quite enjoyed having something in the middle due to the reduced unsprung weight and general daily drive comfort - I don't care for the balloon handling of a 70 series tire, but don't like 50 series either. The F150 with 20s rides a 275/55 tire. The dealer would not swap the wheels to the less popular 18, and I said no problem.
Craigslist is showing a lot of factory takeoffs from a local dealer at a great price, wheels, tires, TPMS, for a reasonable price.
But here's the kicker - towing with this truck as it is right now is delightful. It's locked to the pavement and is not a busy steer. I'd hate to lose that.
Has anyone here done this? swapped from 20s to 18s, and did that impact towing stability?
I know this question is a long shot, and against the trend, but hey, it's bitog....
