Yeah I had KMC venom 20's, I just got sick of the terrible ride quality....it was kinda like going from a chevette to a cadillac when I switched back to the stockers.......guess that was a mistake as far as ROTM is concerned eh?....lol I still wouldn't be able to compete with either of those white trucks though...very nice!
What?? My 20" Brazen rims ride so much better than the stock wheels. I have no idea why.

Maybe its a matter of opinion... My freind (owner of a Syclone) had some old Falken 19's that I put on my Blazer. Just to see how 19s would look. I rode it out for three days and took them off. I had good control and grip but the feedback from the road was too much.

With my 20" rims, I'm getting new tires on them because...well it's a long story. Anyways, I have my stock wheels on now while I'm waiting for my new tires to come in. I am so disappointed with the stock wheels. The blazer seems to fishtail more in the rain and they just don't handle as well as the 20" wheels. Maybe it's because I've been riding on the 20s for the past 6 months, and I'm not used to the stockers. I don't know, but I can't wait to get the 20s back on because then I can drive like normal again.  Also, the tread and everything's ok on the stock tires, so I don't know why they are terrible...

They're terrible because they're the stock tires? lol
Ride quality on the bigger rims is a lot more dependant on the tire than it is on, say, slapping a 30 inch tire on a factory rim, vs. the standard factory size... (My ride is WAY smoother than the factory tires)

LOL I love it Kyle!...
I have to clearify this though....smite me if you must....I said Ride QUALITY was alot worse with the 20's...not Handling...of corse the stiffer sidewalls of a 20 inch..low profile tire will handle better than a stocker, but it is physically impossible for it to RIDE better.

Ride quality and handling both improved dramatically. Along with looks!!! lol
Maybe since we had different tires, maybe that makes the difference. Are yours 245/40R20? That's what mine are.
Also, I am going to beg for more votes. Lol. Thanks ya'll.

This will be my last post on this subject, because I don't want to argue about it...there's no point in it.
And just so you know, I love the looks of your truck with 20's....I hope you win this ROTM...your truck deserves it!
But, a lower side wall height will not give a better ride than a higher sidewall height, It is a VERY simple matter of physics.....unless of course you are running 5 psi air pressure in the 20's and 80 psi in the 15's then all bets are off...lol, but you wouldn't be doing that., so it's not going to happen.
Of course the 20's LOOK better, but like I said I got tired of the ride quality...not the looks.
Mine were 255/35/20.......a little wider than yours and just a tiny bit shorter sidewall height.

46 votes so far! Yay. What's the record? I'm too lazy to look at all the past months. But I think we can hit 100. Vote people, vote!
