diameter may be the same depending on what tyre was used but weight placement will be different with the 20's, but either diameter change or weight placement change will affect the reading because it affects how the car accelerates on the road/track

I have just put my 19's back on cause 1 of the 20's has a slow leak which turned out to be a crack on the inside edge if the rim, 2 cracks infact. Frankly I was over the way it drove on 20's anyway.

Car feels same same power wise, in fact if anything the wider 20's gave the illusion of more power as they spun easier than the 245 19's due to cheap rubber vs decent rubber.

Maybe don't get caught up in numbers and see how it feels with both as Ralph said.

You ford guys are to strung up on a figure

A dyno is a tuning too.. will get a big change in peak power readings with a range od changes like

brand of dyno

mode of the run

ambient temp reading (or in some cases not connected and makes higher figure)

tyres, a semi slick will read lower than a 2 year old china special tyre back to back

As said above the sticky fresh tyres may read lower on a dyno, but may just be an effect on the dyno or the added grip may even make you faster 1/4 mile time if that floats your boat

Dont get hing up on a peak power though either way.... Area under the curve will be a better car
