Can I replace 20 inch wheels with 18-inch?

Welcome to the forums! The wheel size will not affect your speedometer, the overall tire size will. As long as the overall tire diameter is the same, you won’t have to re calibrate anything. If you use the factory size tires for the 18″ wheels, you should be fine.

Are Bigger wheels better on a truck?

Do bigger tires reduce towing capacity?

Bigger tires do affect a vehicle’s towing capacity. Larger tires transmit less torque, which gives the truck less power, allowing less weight to be towed. The towing capacity is reduced by the same percentage of the increased tire diameter.

What is the best wheel size for towing?

means- if you tow a lot and heavy, you’d be better off with the 17″- 265/70 tire solution. The only effect wheel diameter has on towing is the added weight the larger diameter wheels add. Wheel diameter has no effect in final drive gearing.
