We have all seen the hype, 20” wheels are for mall crawlers. My question is based more on scientific data vs personal preference.
Is the overall weight heavier with a 35” tire on a 17” wheel vs the same model tire on a 20” wheel? Which is less rotating mass for less strain on components. I ask because my wife’s rig will only ever see pavement or hard packed trails, no rocks and no mud.
But the wife wants the aggressive “look” while I don’t want to break an axle for looks. TIA
