More tire/less rim or less tire/more rim?
What weighs more? Assuming the same tire size and same rim design and material. 17v20'. AT tires, aluminum wheels, etc.
If the tire is a 35x12.5r17 or 35x12.5r20, what will give better mpg?

If you go to tiresize website and look at a 35x12.5R17 vs 35x12.5R20 BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2, the 17 weighs 66.5 and the 20 weighs 66.8. Now if you go in the middle and go for a 35x12.5R18, it weighs 67.6. The issue is finding the exact same tire. Even though these are all the same manufacturer, the 17 is a rated 121R E RWL, the 18 is rated 123R E RWL, and the 20 is rated 121R E BSW.
For wheels, let's go to fuel off road and look at Fuel Hostage wheels. The 17x9 5x135/5x139.7 weighs 33 LBS, whereas the 20x9 5x135/5x127 weighs 41 LBS.

If the ugliness had a weight factor, those big rims would weight a ton apiece.
