is that a fact? then tell me the overall tire diameter difference on a 2015 GM 2500HD with 18" wheels and 20" wheels.

You guys got me curious here, so I used a 2015 Ram SRW just to look.
All load range E tires. All figures from the Tire Rack site.
LT 275/70R18's were 33.2 inches in diameter.
LT275/65R20's were 34.1 inches in diameter.
Both BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires.
Not an appreciable difference.

Mind you, the tire diameter's shown by my research indicates to me that 18 inch or 20 inch tires would make little, if any, difference here.
