Wheel Upgrade

[Aussie_Watto]

Hey lads and lasses.

I have a question to ask you ute owners.

I have a 2012 xr6t mk2 ute. Currently it is running the stock 19inch rims.

I do alot of driving (city and long long longggg distance) I have put on 15,000ks in bit less then 3 months already!

When my tyres decide they have had enough and no grip left I really want to upgrade to 20's.

I know they will fit on there but I have heard some positive and some negative feedback from people who have gone higher and was wondering if anybody had some clarity on the issue or if they have done it.

Alot of people have said that going to the larger rim size means you feel alot more of the bumps and gives you a less comfortable drive (especially on long trips), I have also heard that going up more then 2inchs has the effect on being illegal and therefore would give the po-po a reason to book and consequently insurance refuse a payout if something happens.

Are these true?? Im not the best at searching the forum/internets on a mobile phone.

Also what is the tyre wear like?

Would I be replacing my tyres more often?

How much of a difference to the ride height will I have?

One more thing would it have any adverse effect on the speedo?

The guys at a few tyre shops have said yeah yeah lets do it but im not keen on listening to them as such as gospel because they simply want to sell and make there budgets.

Sorry for so many questions but just want to get the complete idea before I do something il regret

I have 20's and love them. no real difference in feel just dont go a stupid profile like a 25 or something. and all should be good. tyre wear all depends on the tyre and how much u drop your foot
