I read that when you go with bigger rims, that a brake upgrade is going to be needed. Does this apply for 20" too, or really anything 22" plus?

Sounds logical to meMikesav said:If that was the case then putting on a larger tire than stock would force you to buy bigger brakes as well. Those who have 18in wheels and 33"or 34" tires would have the same worries as a guy with 22in wheels and a 305/45/22 tire. I am not an expert, but rubber weighs alot too. There are many guys with lifted AVs and big wheels/tires that don't seem to worry about this. Why should we. Stopping a 34in diameter wheel is stopping a 34in diameter wheel no matter how you cut it; regardless if is it's a 18in, 20in, or 22, in rim. Don't shoot me, it's just my 2 cents. Mikesav.
