Now that xmas is over I've been looking for wheels and tire. I have this possibly dumb idea. I want 20x10's with 285/50/20(31.22in) on the front then 20x12 with 305/50/20(32.12in) in the rear. I also thought about a 285/55/20(32.340 for the front but that's taller than the rear if I do that, but not sure if a 1/4 inch will be noticeable. I may end up doing the smart thing and put the same size all the way around, I just like the staggered look like my trailblazer has.

I would just go same size all the way around. Then no worries of offset issues, sizes in general, and being able to rotate them properly.

If they aren't real close in diameter there will definitely be a speed in 4x4 that will tell you in no uncertain terms that it's not good. In my case, a 10 psi difference front to rear will buck pretty hard at 45 mph. That's not much of a diameter difference.

I don't think I'll ever be in 4 wheel drive. If I had a 4x4 I would know to keep it the same.
