I had Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws installed on my 20's today. They look fantastic! I'm heading out west in a couple of weeks to get them out on some trails. We'll see if you can't wheel on 20's like people seem to think.
Tire upgrades on 20 in. rims?

These have live rear axles in the back, which are more or less the old school axle design where you have a horizontal member connecting the wheels that’s driven by a bearing in the middle. It’s the way all cars were up to a point. Off road vehicles still use them in some cases, especially body on frame trucks like the Land Cruiser.I have a LC with 20 inch wheels. I am getting a shimmy when going over bumps in the road. I am use to cars versus a truck type vehicle. Is this just normal? I am taking it to the dealer on Friday to have them check the balance on the tires. But, if they check everything and I still have the same problem, I wanted to see if different tires would help the problem? I want all season tires and want to stay with the 20 inch wheels. Please let me know if you have any advice. I don’t plan on doing any off roading. I bought the vehicle because I wanted something different, liked the way it looked, and wanted to sit higher! And, I am a Badass Bitch! Just kidding!
The live axles do shimmy a little on road imperfections. Someone might come along with a technical explanation for why, but they do. There may be nothing wrong with your vehicle. Probably still makes sense to have it looked at though.
Enjoy - get it off the pavement a little so you can experience the upside!
