With a 20 it will go up but as you can see it wasn't a dramatic difference but enough to notice.

Just for jollies, I just weighed mine up, too:
I've got the 15x6 Scion alloys w/ 185/60-15s = 32 lbs.
My 15x7 Borbet Type S alloys w/ 205/60-15s = 37 lbs.
These are the wheels that I mentioned I could tell a huge difference with over stock, even though the wheel diameters are the same. My guess is that being a little slowed by the extra weigh combined with the effect on the gearing of a tire over 1" taller than stock made the difference.
I can't imagine what driving an xB with the 225/30-20s listed earlier must be like. That tire is about 5/8" taller than the 205/60-15! Talk about all show - no go!
