Hello Folks,

Anyone know the weight of the stock wheel setup on a 21 Power Wagon?

I am looking for a new wheel/tire combination close to the stock weight of my factory setup.

I do about 85% highway, so I am looking to maximize mileage.

A friend told me my acceleration would suffer going to a larger diameter, but I think that is due to rotating mass (weight) increases.

It would nice to bump up the size to something like 285/65-20s to also make the tires fill the wells more.

Maybe a lightweight wheel could offset the change in size?
