2004 Sequoia with 20" wheels?

[cmeyer]

We are looking to buy new tires for our 2004 Toyota Sequoia and thought we might upgrade from the smaller 16" wheels that came stock on them as we have always thought the wheels look too small for the truck. Couple of questions though if anyone else has done this please:

1. Does a larger wheel/tire combo give a better ride or cause more issues like mpg and overall control?
2. Does anyone have any pics of a 2004 Sequoia with custom wheels and tires?
3. We have been quoted on some 20" Viscera rims and then Kumbo Ecsta STX 285/50 R20's - anyone had any issues with these tires?

Any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

The ride should feel more firm as you'll lose some sidewall and cushion with the much lower profile 20" tire. The STX Kumho has received pretty decent feedback from customers who have purchased from us in the past. Links below will allow you to view wheels on the vehicle as well as view feedback on the tires. Let me know if I can help.

There are a few sites with "interactive" wheel programs that give you an idea of what wheels look good on your car. There is one at www.tirerack.com and there is one at www.discounttiredirect.com. Although you will have a slightly stiffer ride with a larger wheel you will also get better response out of your vehicle.

Yes it will be alot more responsive with wider tires I have 295's on my tundra and man what a difference it made in the steering.
