13.5" wide?! That's a W_I_D_E tire!

And a 20" wheel - good looking but heavy and not the best for offroading performance.

 

[Leadfoot's Orange Crush]

Wow! This thing ROCKS Off-Road Bro! Way better on the road where I do 90 percent of my driving if not more. The stock tires are downright dangerous with all that sidewall if you have to manuver quick or brake hard... I know! Had the back end try to pass me braking for some villiage idiot who cut me off on the highway.

 

[MagicMtnDan]

Sure, it'll handle better ON the road due to less sidewall. But that sidewall is your friend offroad. And adding all that unsprung weight from bigger heavier wheels is not a good thing for any vehicle. They sure look good.

 

[frogslinger]

Sidewall height should not make much of a difference on road if you are running the right pressure. Sure a couple inches more sidewall will allow a little more roll but nothing serious. The extra sidewall also smooth out transitions... so yeah if you are doing a panic maneuver it will be more crisp on the 20s. If you are running the right pressure braking is unaffected by sidewall height. In fact the extra weight will worsen braking distances.

The upside is that heavy tires are a huge hindrance off-road. If you disagree I am sure there are plenty of guys in stock Raptors who will walk away from that truck in just about all off-road conditions.

Yeah, can't get into the 20" Wheel look, and the functionality is seriously compromised off-road........but to each his/her own.

I beg to differ!
I walked away from all the stock guys this weekend with this set up in all situations.
Seriously! Sand, water...
Except the popo!
POWER!

those are bad ass rims
how much do they weigh?

 

[BentToast]

The only upside I can think of to putting oversize wheels on any vehice is you can fit bigger brakes. Other than that, lose the dubs its a Raptor for chissakes not a Lighting

I think you're missing the point about the weight of the wheels and their affect on performance of the suspension. And those tires are not offroad friendly either.

More power can overcome a lot of things but big wheels and shorter sidewalls are not best for offroad performance.
