2017 20" wheels and tires on 2006
 
I am getting due for tires soon and was looking at new wheels as well. I have seen several take offs available in the 18" to 20" range for less than I can buy tires for. Any concerns putting the 2017 20" 3500 wheels on my 06 3500. The tires are the factory Firestone Transforce any feed back on them? I tow fairly heavy mostly freeway light off road mostly in the sand. I have been running the stock 17" with Toyo AT's with good results.

I believe they have more backspacing meaning they'll hug the body more. The 20's are expensive and hurt the ride.
The 18's offer much higher load index's than the 17's.

This '15 is my first experience with Firestone Transforce tires. After about 31k miles, about 9k of which towing my 25' 5th, they are worn out. Just ordered Michelins. I had them on my '03 and always got good mileage. 50k mile warranty.

I used to put pull-offs on my '03, but I have TPMS now so it would be a hassle.
