I think an inch, especially 2, can have a dramatic effect on the look of a vehicle. My 20's look substantially different than the 19" it replaced in the rear. Look through some galleries and check out some of the guys with 17" drag radial wheels. When I see guys with 17" DRs in the rear, IMO it looks silly, there is supposed to be at least a 19" wheel in there. I am merely trying to understand why someone would want to go this route. Is it a performance thing, are they lighter, less spinning weight? Maybe it is an economical thing, cheaper tires for sure.


I am simply curious.
