Bigger vs smaller tires and wheels
Is there any advantage from going to a 20 inch wheel over a 16. Also what's the advantage of going from a 265 to 285 tire in either configuration?

...I'm always cognizant of out-board weight at the end of axles **gross wheel weight** (the actual weight of the tire and wheel) that will really negatively affect performance/fuel mileage (if there are any Formula 1 racing engineers here, they could explain this better than I LOL!)...
...so, I look at OEM tire + rim weight, then play with any new tire/rim combo, to determine if they will be "heavier" or "lighter" than the OEM set-up...etc...etc.
