    I bought my TRD OR used with 20inch wheels and 33 inch tires already installed. Are there pros or cons with having 20inch wheels?

    Unsprung weight, harsher ride, looks weird on an "offroad" SUV

    I really do like the way the wheels look on my 4R. What do y’all think about 35s with 20inch rims would do? I’m planning on getting a 3inch lift and maybe some trimming or modifications if needed.

    To fit 35 inch tires you’re going to have to do a shit ton of cutting and modifications.

    To add to what @LandCruiser said; 35's will pretty much demand that you regear. They will also require a bit more than trimming, ie body mounts chopped or relocated, firewall might require some "adjustment", possibly cutting sheet metal.

    Your most economical option is to keep running 33's on your 20's, or buying some 17's and getting new tires if you want more sidewall for trail runs.
